Neck beards were common back when I worked for DEC in the 80's. I always got the impression they were for optimal time management (i.e. zero time spent on shaving).
It's one thing to be a nerd and entirely another to grow a half-assed beard that repels people and illustrates ones lack of grooming ability and tact to the opposite sex.

Thank you, Al Gore!!!
That's just mean.
FYI - Data does in fact suggest that playing bass neutralizes neckbeard affects.
