New kid behind me, recently hired, just had his text message alert go off on his cell phone.

It made the transforming noise when the robots turn into cars or vice versa from Transformers.

He immediately said "Sorry!" But I was like "THAT WAS THE TRANSFORM-Y NOISE. THAT IS AWESOME. HAVEN'T YOU SEEN MY BAG?" I then grabbed my purse (that darkling1 got me for my birthday) and showed him.

Yeah, geeks are awesome and thick on the ground in science. SCIENCE!

And since they're being "ironic", they'll laugh in your face if you tell them one of their geeky things is cool. Though at least you have the obvious retort available: "At least I'm not a fucking hipster."

I imagine your newest roommate must get terribly confused being a geek AND a hipster. :P

Lol, he still denies the hipster part. But yes, it must be confusing for him.

Yeah, pretty much, "I'd rather be a [fill in the blank] than a hipster" is true for any value of [fill in the blank] except "Nazi" or "Republican."
