It's too obscure to be linked to. You wouldn't want it to become mainstream.

Anyway, it's like Anamanaguchi and stuff. Some of it is catchy but I find most of it is trying too hard to be "quirky" or "unique".

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Suprisingly good.
Probably will never listen to a lot of it.

Not sure Anamanaguchi qualifies as that's more like chiptune. Nerdcore is hiphop like MC Lars-

Nerdcore is a subgenre of hip-hop music 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, has a history of self-publishing and self-production.

Not sure what you mean by this. Lots of people hate on Big Bang Theory and lots of people enjoy it...

 

[no_chocobo]

Optimus Rhyme.

Oh man i forgot about them~!

 

[Sychophantom]

Oh man i forgot about them~!

I'm still amused that Wheelie Cyberman was NOA_ANDY.

idk what this is? explain pls?

Have you listened to MC Lars or ytcracker much? I've became pretty good irl friends with Lars, and I actually do some coding for ytc

 

[Sychophantom]

NOA_ANDY was the moderator/Admin of the NSider forums. He actually worked for Nintendo as a web supervisor. I think he might have been in a few issues of Nintendo Power.

I have an MC Lars CD. It was decent, but not in my favorites. I'm actually surprised I don't see MC Chris listed, though a lot of nerdcore fans seem to hate him anymore.
