The title says it all, but I suppose I’ll elaborate a bit.

“Nerdcore” is a genre of rap music in which the lyrics and subject matter are about all things nerdy and geeky, such as computer programming, video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and so on. I’m not exactly the world’s biggest rap fan, but I’ve given a few nerdcore acts such a listen, out of morbid curiosity.

It was all pretentiousness, to be honest. Every single song I sampled sounded like the rappers were trying to be badass and pompous about their “nerdy” habits, and how cool they are as a result. Perhaps that’s a rap stereotype side effect, but I doubt it. It’s just shitty music, any way you paint it.
