All Top5 (AER/JPE/ECONOMETRICA/QJE/RES) would be so-called Geek journals, according to your definition. In fact, if an academic journal was not geeky or nerdy, it would be definitely no good at all. You are absolutely correct that the JJYJ is sometimes not geeky. That is exactly why it is a crap journal, and why JK is a much better one.
