Idaho Is Full Of Nerds And We Are Cool With That For the longest time, being a nerd meant you were bullied by the jocks, and liked living in a pretend fantasy world where you were a lot cooler than you actually are. Now it seems like being a nerd is almost an oxymoron because it also means that you are cool because you like geeky stuff. Take Star Wars as an example. Star Wars used to be a show for kids and middle-aged men who live in their mom's basement. Now everyone loves the Skywalker family drama. Comic books have been a sign of nerdiness for decades and now you are praised if you have knowledge and understanding of the comic book movies and their ensemble casts of popular and unknowns. It's almost un-cool to admit that you had no idea who the Guardians of the Galaxy were before the movie came out. And in Idaho we are all about the nerds.
