The term geek began as a slang phrase to describe unusual or non-mainstream people. The word geek used to have a derogatory connotation of a “strange individual, especially one who is thought to be too scholarly, outdated, uninteresting, or socially awkward.” This is no longer that case, however.

Nowadays, the term refers to a smart or technically inclined people. Geek, nerd, and dweeb are terms frequently used interchangeably. Most people view the word in an overwhelming positive light.

Before, these individuals may be at a disadvantage, and yet now such distinct cognitive qualities allowed most of them to identify with the new technology paradigm and achieve great success. People with geeky tendencies, many of whom have special needs, ADHD, or dyslexia, thrive in the Anthropocene’s high-tech environment, according to Mark Roeder, author of the book, Unnatural Selection: Why The Geeks Will Inherit The Earth.

Geek Industry Brands that Make a Lot of Money

Geek culture, in particular, has a significant impact on the global economy and society. If fact, being a geek these days is pretty cool. While earlier generations of geeks were more likely to work in research programs, laboratories, and support roles, they now progressively hold high executive positions and significant political and economic power. These modern roles include positions in science, marketing, web development and more.

You only need to look as far as the Best Buy owned technical support service Geek Squad to see how positive this reference is in the real world. Geek Squad brings in a reported $124 million annually and employs 2,500 employees. Geek Squad provides technical support to consumers with their laptops, desktops, accessories like printers and other hardware. The company assists consumers in solving their technical problems at home or at Best Buy locations. You’ve probably seen the unmistakable little Geek Squad cars driving around your town.

Want another example of a high-revenue industry that’s associated with geeks, nerds and dweebs? The subculture of super hero’s and comic books has gone extremely mainstream over the past couple decades. According to Publishers Weekly, the comic book and novels industry in North America is valued at $1.28 billion annually. Who knew fantasy could make so much money in the real world.

Need another example? The video game industry used to be associated with kids that weren’t popular and the outcasts of youth. That’s not the case these days. According to Market Watch, the video game industry is now worth $180 billion annually with even more growth on the horizon. To put this industry in perspective, it’s even more valuable than the movie and film industry. This would have been unbelievable only a decade ago.

Of course if you have teenagers you can see this economic shift first hand. Games like Roblox Corporation report more than 43 million daily users. Mobile games that can be played on cell phones are also extremely popular with games like Candy Crush Saga and Coin Master that generate $50 million+ in revenues annually.

At this point, geek culture has gone mainstream and has proven to be extremely lucrative across all sorts of industries. If you’re starting a business with a dorky brand, the marketing strategy seems pretty smart.
