If all it takes to be a nerd is being super interested in something, that means everyone is a nerd.

That means, I’m a car nerd (not mechanically, I’m terrible at that), a film nerd, a games nerd, but above all I am interested in people being interested in things. I love listening to people talk passionately about things they are passionate about.
