So what is considered "nerdy" these days?

Being nerdy is only highly stigmatized in high school. Once you're out, nobody really notices unless you're straight up D&Ding it
 
It was worst when I ran into an erotic Ranma manga while searching for the actual manga.... the fact that the art style emulated Rumiko's own style just got things worst

"wow that is .... so out of character for Ranma to ... do ... those things ... with ... Ryoga"

I am embarassed that I understand this reference.
 
I mean back when I growing up in the 80's/90's computers, video games, star trek were considered for nerds/geeks. I can't imagine this being the case nowadays so what is it?

Emotional investment in any such things. If you play CoD randomly or some wii game or rock band at a party, no big deal. Be anywhere near actively considering yourself a gamer, and you're a nerd. Likewise, everyone uses twitter and facebook, but actual understanding of computers is nerdy.
