"Geeks" are compulsive consumers. They (we) emotionally invest in corporate intellectual property and offer near guaranteed sales. They voluntarily promote and market products for ownership and compete for status by consuming. Geek culture took over because marketers saw an opportunity and actively promulgated it.
That's my intellectual complaint. My real complaint is that it got lazy and now seems to just recycle Generation X's childhood over and over again.
