I've ruined the drama of some scenes for my wife by my comments that "Hmmm... those mics weren't available until about 10 years later..."
I read this out to Mrs One, and she laughed, and said:
Oh yes. Music gear, and IT stuff, cars, trains, mobile phones, airplanes, cameras, watches… The list goes on.
Oh dear, it seems I’m a nerd and a pedant!

I suspect the overlap between those two demographics might contain rather a lot of forum members here...

I like to think of it as "technically minded with an appreciation for things done correctly".

There's a Venn diagram opportunity in this...

Nerdy pedant.
I think you'll find pendantic nerd to be the more correct form.
...I mean conscientious enthusiast.

Though I'm sure we can all recognise the urge to be enthusiastically conscientious at times as well.
