I am probably the last of the group of people that were some of the early adopters of the internet. The internet didn’t fully become public and more accessible until 1994, I didn’t start using the internet until 1996. I am nearing 30 years old on the internet by next year. People from my group, we’ve seen it all by this point.

If you use enough brain cells to be above “lol, I like that clip clicks like lolol”, then you’re labeled a nerd.
If you’re familiar with any acronyms that have to do with tech, then you’re a super nerd.
