Apparently you never saw the movie Hackers with Angelina Jolie. The Geeks were the cool kids in that movie, on in "Real Genius" Val Kilmer was king geek.

Lazy storytelling - having a ton of characters makes it harder to come up with unique personalities in a short amount of time, so screenwriters turn to sterotypes to take short cuts.

It's interesting how stereotypes are perpetuated.
Look at my avatar - I look exactly like it. Pretty, eh? But I'm a TOTAL geek.
