    There’s different types of stink and some are better than others and I’m pretty sure this is based on my own prejudice and preference as well as olfactory association being pretty powerful, but punks stink ans are known to, so do nerds. However, punks have a good stink and nerds have a bad stink. I’ve been a crustie for like 15 years now and also have ran merch at nerd conventions and punks have more of a deep fryer thst had cooked too many spring rolls kinda smell combined with booze sweat and an overall mist of weed and cigarettes and its more of an outdoorsy musky smell that I find kinda nice but admittedly probably cause I associate it with my pals and fun times. I can identify most of my friends by smell. Nerds have more of a stagnant indoors moldy stank, and sort of a chemical smell with it, either a cover up body spray that makes it worse by adding a chemical sweetness to their sour aroma. They smell like a gym locker that hasn’t been opened in years with the hint of pool chroline wafting in. Nerds smell nauseating.
