Small details are very much a hobby in my opinion. I see it as one. I love crafts and trades and anything that people create that is beautiful.
As far as status goes, I think it depends on your social and professional circle. I live in New York City and it is very easy to get caught up in trends and appearances. However, these trends and appearances are different depending on who you associate with. It is social just like anything else. If you are hanging out with Foo, Manton and John Hitchcock in a Manahattan hotel you feel different kinds of pressure than if you are at a dive bar on the Lower East Side. My personal social circle is very removed from much of the people I associate with on here, which is why I like it. I can live my life, but share nerdy interests somewhere as well.
