Believe it or not, there are limits to my nerdity. Once such limit is nerd-themed bands that sing about specific science fiction franchise are other such geeky topics.

For example, I’m not a fan of Star Trek-themed bands. In fact, I can’t stand them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some anal retentive Star Trek fan who thinks that Trek should always be serious. No way; I enjoy nitpicking and making jokes as much as the next fan. Themed bands, however, take the silliness to a level I’m just not comfortable with. I don’t want to hear some whiny punk rock kid wailing about Kirk and Spock! It just sounds retarded.

It’s the same problem I have with nerdcore, though I don’t think the themed rock ‘n’ roll outfits are as pretentious as their hip-hop counterparts. It’s just retarded; maybe I’m “too old” for this kind of stuff, but I still think it’s stupid.
