The nerd/jock thing always felt like an American thing
similarly, I never got to see the "school bully" thing even nearly as much as it seems to be an issue US-side. not that we didn't have (or that they didn't try with me[0] on occasion), but it seems to be quite extreme in the US?

it's not impossible that people may find other uses for it over time but to the best of my knowledge as it stands right now much of this shit is dead weight the moment this bubble pops
(I don't think it will all go entirely away; there are some ML uses that are not complete trash. but that's a long different arc)
I'm not sure I follow the skeu side of your comment?
