I think of fandom meaning a community, so a community that discusses, creates, and otherwise nerds out about a specific fictional media. So in that sense, just liking a superhero movie or GoT doesn't mean you're in fandom, though those things may or may not be considered "nerdy". Geeky is cool if you're otherwise a cool person - like an attractive, socially-adjusted person who plays video games or something. But if you're an awkward weirdo, it's still not cool to be geeky.

That being said, the door is clearly more open than it used to be. Comic-con etc is absolutely "fandom", as a nerd space. And I'd say it's much less "uncool" to go to that than it used to be. No, that doesn't mean talking about your fanfic to normal people is okay now. (and if your fanfics are anything like fanfics, it's okay that they aren't family dinner conversation.)
