Telling the difference between nerds and hipsters has become quite hard, with the latter group borrowing style elements from the first.

To make it easier, Reddit user moson has drawn us a visual representation of how both groups would look in a similar situation.

The original photo was taken in Poland in 1997, and it has become something of a Polish meme, depicting the original computer enthusiastic nerds.

I'll give you a hint – the hipster, Photoshopped version of that photo includes Instagramming, Starbucks cups, large scarves, cool hairdos, hats and a vintage camera.

Needless to say, the shirts and glasses are pretty much the same in both shots, standing as a symbol of how “nerd hip” has become the new, universally accepted kind of “hip.”
