Everyday Geeky

Sci-fi home decor illustrates a growing demand for pop culture integration

Implications - With geek culture raging on, the previously outcasted sci-fi nerd is now encouraged to wear his or her nerdiness like a badge of honor. Extending beyond subtle apparel pieces and referential products, nerddom is now so highly praised that consumers are dedicating products and spaces they use on a daily basis to this personality trait. A backlash to years of athlete praise, this uprise in geek culture signifies a shift toward individuality and eccentricity.
Trend Themes
1. Geek Culture Praise - The celebration of previously outcasted geek culture is leading to a growing demand for everyday products and spaces dedicated to sci-fi and other pop culture references.
2. Film and TV Memorabilia - There is a growing trend towards decorating interiors with film and TV references, with a demand for products that allow fans to show off their dedication to beloved franchises.
3. Individuality and Eccentricity - The trend towards individuality and eccentricity is evident in the shift towards celebrating formerly niche interests, away from traditional athlete praise.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor and Design - Business professionals in home decor and design can take advantage of the trend towards pop culture references by creating unique, high-quality products that allow fans of their favorite franchises to prominently display their passions in their homes.
2. Entertainment Merchandise - Companies that produce merchandise related to movies and TV shows can tap into the trend towards film and TV decor by creating products that are not just functional, but also allow fans to express their fandom in their everyday lives.
3. Art and Handicrafts - Artists and handicraft makers who can replicate famous designs and artifacts from beloved franchises in high quality, life-sized models, will find many customers in the growing fanbase that is embracing their individuality through geek culture fandom.
