Here is the plot description for “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”:
Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams… literally.
The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (“Hot Fuzz,” “Shaun of the Dead”) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”.
Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult.
From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass (and now is back in town) to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious gallery of rogues from her pas —from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Geeks have slowly overtaken
Geeks have slowly overtaken the entertainment industry because of their passion for the mediums involved. No one else obsesses over canon or tries to break down the physics of warp speed travel. Some of the best-told stories come from geeks.
I suppose, to answer your question, geeks have become chic because over time people realized how interesting geek culture is, and how important geeks are in society. Really… we’ve always been this cool. It’s just taken everyone a while to realize it.
