I will openly admit to being a fangirl (although not much of a fan for the things mentioned in the article), a gamer girl (although I don't play nearly as many video games as I used to, alas, the death of my gaming rig *sheads a tear*), and a gadget girl (I only bought the iphone because it was that or my fiance leaves me *only slight sarcasm here*). oh and I'm a closet otaku but that's only because I was born there, love the language and culture, and believe everything japanese is somehow inherently better. hahahaha.

Music Geek/Fangirl/Otaku/Gamer

Fangirl and music geek.

Gamer, gadget gal, and a bit of a hacker.
I note that gamer needs to be expanded or another type added for non video game games. you know, old fashioned tabletop gaming, card and board games, etc.

bit of a fangirl (star wars/star trek/x-files), a dash of gamer (nintendo only, thnx), a sprinkle of 1337 and a healthy dose of music geek.

Gamer Music Gadget. Mostly Gadget. I wouldn't say hacker, but I can figure out how to use a new programs and help with users pretty well, but I can't hack.

i love me my gadgets =]

A combo of music, gamer and gadget.

Equal parts Fangirl, Gamer, and Otaku. I think there are also Crafter Geeks, especially for the girls. I am just as obsessed with making things as I am about TV shows, video games, and anime.

I'm a pure gadget geek and a bit of a hacker lol

Good point Lindira, What about crafters? I get called a geek all the time for my obsession with craft magazine and trying to make everything out of it.

I am combo of gamer/gadget with a splash of music

Gadget/ gamer geek- crafty too!

Like everybody else here, I seem to be a geek mutt. I'm primarily a FanGRRRL, followed by Gamer, with a touch of Music and Hacker. I'd tread lightly on the Hacker thing though, because I'm not nearly as 1337 as a lot of my friends.

I'm married to a Gadget Guy/Gamer/Fan Boy. So genetically speaking, does that mean our kids will turn out to be some Gamer/Fan combination?

I've definitely got traits from multiple areas. I can be a total music nerd, fangirl, or gamer depending on what's in front of me (for example, my sister and I speak almost exclusively in Simpsons references). I will say, however, that the gadget geek probably most closely resembles me. I'm always hunting for the next great toy. But I will say that I avoid being an early adopter, usually preferring to wait until some of the kinks are ironed out. I've been burned too many times by unfinished tech.

I sort of resent the remark that hackers are chronically crabby, condescending, paranoid, and pasty. Why hate on the hackers? The Geek Handbook, though somewhat outdated, is much more positive, accurate, and less sexist.

I fall under gadget and gamer, I'm obsessed with both.

where are all the Otaku???? cmon! this is our chance to shine!

I'm a gadgety/gamity/musicy/fangirly geek :3

I guess music geek, but I always wanted to be a hacker.

I am definitely the music geek. My music collection is crazy and it only gets crazier when I go to record stores or I happen to visit relatives with something I might need/want.

I confess to all of the above to some degree or other. Except the blue wig..it's got to be pink or I ain't leaving the house.

Even though I'm a girl, I'm the gadget guy. My boss' boss called me "one of those mac people" and then said, you must like gadgets...is it that obvious?

I am a combination of a few types of these geeks-
I like some video games (mainly lame ones... I like Elebits haha)
I'm an Asian Studies (Japanese concentration) and International relations double major.. so I have big love for Japan.. but I don't read manga.
I love high-tech gadgets.... if I could raid the Apple store that would be heaven!
etc etc.

lol look at this everyone! http://www.brunching.com/images/geekchartbig.gif

geek hierarchy!

I guess I'm mostly the fan girl but I don't really like the way these are classified...

Does anyone else think the term "Geekster" is extremely self-contradictory? Is geek really a social scene now?

Urban dictionary defines Scenester as: "a person who tries very hard to fit the stereotype of a certain scene. often having to do with a specific genre of music emo.indie.punk.rock. dresses and acts in a prescribed fashion."

Wikipedia defines Geek as "A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance."

Skill is the exact opposite of posing. People who pose, pretend to be skilled if they are not, are extremely lame. I really hope the term "geekster" never makes it to mainstream usage.

I love my gadgets, and I love my games. Definitely a gadget/gamer geek.

im a combo for music geek/gamer

Totally a hybrid: Fangirl (comic book though, not Star Wars) + Gadget + Gamer + Music Geek, but in a film and TV way more than music (which I think is essentially the same thing)

I'm more of a Movie/TV/Music Geek

Total movie geek here, with some tv/music thrown in, too. I'm kind of shocked that wasn't an option!

at hkdkat.

I'm a gadget/slight gamer.

What about a professional geek? Being a geek is my job. I don't do much of it outside of work.

I'm mostly a gadget geek, with some fangirl and a pinch of music geekdom. Used to be a gamer geek, but then lost interest.

I'm a Fangirl, I love Starwars. and I love gargets too.

Music, fan, otaku and gaming. That's me!

I'm a big comic book fan too. Starwars , Strangers in Paradise , optic nerve.

i'm practically all of the above. and yea crafters!!!!!! ^_^

I'm such a Otaku and a Gadget girl!

Erh how about technologies geek like webdesign/programming..etc? I'm that, whatever that is.

I'm an OTAKU, gadget girl, and gamer

I had to say none of the above. But all my favorite people are geeks of multiple and combined varieties. Myself, I guess I'm a language and art geek. I'm a geek-aholic!

GADGETS! A touch of gamer, but only MMO's and only because my boyfriend got me addicted. I would also add Internet Geek b/c I'm online a lot, & am an info/research-aholic because of it, and I am an internet-shopper extraordinaire.

Music/gadget/fangirl/gamer.

I'm a Fangirl... I love Harry Potter.

fangirl/music geek/semi-gamer/gadget.

i only play one game (not obsessively)

a combo of gamer/fangirl. i love music, butu i don't go to many shows or anything since i am so broke, so i don't think i can call myself a music geek.

speaking of games, i just got Fire emblem for Gamecube to play on my wii....yay!!!

i am definitely a gadget girl

I'm a mixture of fangirl(obsessed with series), gamer, hacker and gadget girl. Yay!
