Geeky

The internet loves mashing up everything, from Disney princesses and action movies to characters from adult dramas&nbsp;mixed with <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-saturday-morning-cartoons-for-mid-80_s-90_s-kids?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">cartoons from the &#39;80s</a> and &#39;90s. So, after a few years of collecting the most eye-catching, memorable, well-done, and awesomely funny art, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-13-greatest-pop-culture-mash-ups-_vol-1_/robert-wabash?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">pop culture mashups</a>, and Photoshops involving cartoons from our collective childhoods, this list has the greatest, most fun mash-up pop culture art ever collected, all in one place, for you to scroll through in order to avoid real life.&nbsp;

From the 1950s until the end of the 20th century, being considered a nerd was about as good as having the Black Plague. If you were a nerd, people thought you were a social pariah and probably kicked sand in your face or broke your glasses. But after the turn of the millennium it suddenly became cool to be a nerd. It was like instead of all the computers breaking&nbsp;from Y2K, we entered an alternate dimension where nerdy stuff was cool and cool stuff was suddenly nerdy. Suddenly jocks were watching Star Wars and crocheting sweaters with the names of their favorites sports ball teams - life sure is weird. Other than science fiction and fancy sewing, here&rsquo;s a list of other things that aren&rsquo;t nerdy anymore.

It&rsquo;s hard to pinpoint the exact moment when the public&rsquo;s perception of the nerd, geeks, and geeky nerd culture shifted, but when things changed they changed in a big way. Comic-Con became the new <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/super-bowl?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">Super Bowl</a>, and E3 exploded into the NBA finals. But it&rsquo;s not just the giant conferences that have become the bee&rsquo;s knees among the hoi polloi, everything from gardening, to home brewing, and even the concept of dressing well has become super cool, and this is just the tip of the nerd iceberg.

This list compiles everything that&rsquo;s no longer nerdy for your enjoyment. You can even vote up the stuff that&rsquo;s gone from nerdy to cool, and add the nerdy thing that you do that&rsquo;s been taken over by the cool kids and mainstream pop culture to this list.

In the last decade, the world has become inundated with nerd culture. Superhero movies reign at the box office, The Big Bang Theory&nbsp;became a constant ratings winner, and San Diego Comic-Con is a nerd paradise attracting fans from all around the world. But still, there are a few nerdy things that haven&rsquo;t taken the world by storm, and that will probably never have hipster cachet.

Unless there&rsquo;s a massive tidal shift, nerdy past times like coding, cartography, and playing in a ska band are never going to become sellable commodities the way that video games and Game of Thrones have. Check out this list and see how your nerd cred stacks up against these nerdy things that will never become cool.

If you&rsquo;re reading this, there&rsquo;s a good chance that you said something along the lines of &ldquo;Star Wars used to be cool, before all the fake nerds got to it.&rdquo; Rest assured, none of the items on this list will ever become cool. No one&rsquo;s going to make a blockbuster movie about Magic: The Gathering any time soon. Vote up the nerdy things that still haven&rsquo;t become cool and feel free to add some nerdy things of your own to the list.

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/knuckle-tattoo-ideas/tat-fancy?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Knuckle tattoos</a> used to be reserved for&nbsp;bikers, inmates, and gang members as&nbsp;a symbol of aggression that screamed, &quot;stay the hell away from me.&quot;&nbsp;Nowadays, you see them on raised hands on liberal college campuses and passing you your pumpkin spice latte. Knuckle tattoos have actually gotten so popular that they've finally spilled over into nerd culture. As geek culture <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/things-that-arent-nerdy-anymore/jacob-shelton">moves into mainstream consciousness</a>, it stands to reason geek-dom&nbsp;would adopt mainstream trends into its own subculture, leading to these instances of these nerdy knuckle tattoos.Some of the ink remains relatively simple, with NERD and GEEK thrown upon fingers with unwavering pride.

Laney Boggs in She&#39;s All That

From Josie Grossie to Laney Boggs, these nerdy girl transformations from movies will live on in pop culture history forever. Who can forget when Julie Andrews (as Grandma Renaldi) took Mia under her wing&nbsp;and transformed her geeky, klutzy granddaughter into a swan who we could suddenly envision on the throne? Or when Julia Roberts captured the nation with the transformation of her hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold to elegant lady? From Eliza Doolittle's makeover in My Fair Lady (arguably the girl who started it all), to Sandy's sultry turn in Grease, this list covers all of the on-screen triumphs and failures. From transformations that make us shake our heads - like when Allison from The Breakfast Club left her quirky self behind - to makeovers that made our hearts swell (looking at you, Toula Portokalos), this list has it all.A lot of these transformations seem to follow a common pattern -- frizzy, unkempt hair becomes sleek and styled, glasses are switched out in favor of contacts, makeup is applied (or intensified), and outfits are drastically swapped. The best, most successful makeovers happen when the character's personality remains intact throughout the transformation. Look for the familiar patterns and rank your favorite makeovers in teen movies. May the best one win!

Fictional Characters

Nerd characters have been around as long as movies themselves, with the trope appearing at least as early as 1925 and continuing into the present day in films from directors including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-of-judd-apatows-nerdy-white-guys-ranked/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Judd Apatow</a> and Olivia Wilde.

League Of Legends

League of Legends

League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It is a free-to-play game that is supported by micro-transactions and inspired by the mod Defense of the Ancients for the video game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
In League of Legends, players assume the role of a character, called a "champion", with unique abilities, battling with a team against other player or computer-controlled champions. In the most popular game modes, each team's goal is to destroy the opposing team's nexus, a building which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures. Each League of Legends game is discrete, with all champions starting off each game fairly weak and progressing by accumulating gold and experience over the course of the game.
League of Legends was generally well received at release, and it has grown in popularity in the years since. By July 2012, League of Legends was the most played PC game in North America and Europe in terms of the number of hours played.
