Nerdcore

What is Nerdcore?


1.

Any form of music that is made by nerds, for nerds, or about nerdly things. Nerdcore can be made in any style of music, but most people identify it in either its pop-punk or hip-hop forms. Although many people think the term "nerdcore" was made up by MC Frontalot, it has in fact been in use by rock bands for many years prior to Frontalot's use of the term.

Nerdcore should not be confused with bands that are simply stereotypically popular with nerds such as They Might Be Giants, DEVO, Ween, etc.

Musicians in this genre include (but are by no means limited to):

Rock:

Treephort

Nerf Herder

Warp 11

The Aquabats (definately moreso in their later albums)

The Phenomenauts (Mainly because of their pre-occupation with science)

The Mathematicians

MJ Hibbet

Hip-Hop:

MC Frontalot

MC Chris

MC Lars

MC Hawking

MC Paul Barman

Del Tha Funkee Homosapian (specifically on the "Deltron 3030" album)

The Lords Of The Rhymes

Electronic:

The NESkimos

The Laziest Men On Mars

Industrial:

Kompressor

Parody:

Weird Al

Nerdcore hip hop, or geeksta rap, is a subgenre of hip hop music that is performed by nerds or geeks, and is characterized by themes and subject matter considered to be of general interest to nerds, though it can appeal to others as well. Self-described nerdcore musician MC Frontalot coined the term in 2000 in the song "Nerdcore Hiphop". Frontalot, like most nerdcore artists, self-publishes his work and has released much of it for free online. As a niche genre, nerdcore generally holds to the DIY ethic, and has a strong amateur tradition of self-publishing and self-production. The only things required to enter the nerdcore community are a microphone, a computer, and a webserver. No recognized nerdcore albums have ever been released on a major record label, and MP3s, not CDs, are the primary means of distribution.

From Wikipedia

"the nerdcore could rise up, it could get elevated

oh and wouldn’t all of those tough rappers hate it

if the nerdcore rose up and got elevated?

we consider the possibleness of this not overstated."

-MC Frontalot, "Nerdcore Rising"

Ignoring all the sighs of reluctance from the party at Joe's loft in Chinatown, Pete was so intent on impressing Molly that he launched into his favorite nerdcore opening freestyle lyric- "My name is P to the ETE, You have got some damn sexy feet. I live in the L E S, I grew up playing N E S, Your mom's is fly it makes me wanna cry..." blah blah blah. he went home alone and rubbed one out.
