Sry all/A history of geeky music

Okay I havn't posted in a while... But I have some REAL treats for you all. I now present A HISTORY OF GEEKY MUSIC!

Geeky music can in some ways trace it's roots all the way back to Buddy Holly.



While not overtly geeky, the thick glasses trademarked by Buddy Holly would become a staple of geekdom for generations. He unknowingly inspired the entire geeky "look".

Years later Devo came out.



Devo as well wasn't overtly geeky in the modern sense. But the vaugely electronica sound as well as the odd little costumes and dances they do forever classified them as "Geek rock"

Following in Devo's footsteps came Wierd Al



Although a parodyist technically, Al's comic stylings continue to inspire this generation of geeky artists. Note that the video above is a parody of Devo.

In the mid-90's Nerf Herder formed.



With their star-wars inspired name and instant musical recognisibility, Nerf Herder became immensely popular... in geek music circles... and mostly only in the california area... Though they have done music for many commercial projects, most noticibly the buffy the vampire slayer theme.

Around the same time as nerf herder, Warp 11 came into existance.



Warp 11 was originally an experiment to get people to associate star trek and sex in the same sentence... and to an extent it worked. The star treks that came out after their slight rise to fame became increasingly raunchy, and their feature in the documentery "Trekkies" did help stave off the myth that 'trek fans are just people who stay in their parents' basements and can't get a date... but then again their fame is only in small packages.

About that time as well, a sweedish band called S.P.O.C.K. formed.



S.P.O.C.K. is actually a ligitimate techno band, and their star trek ties are fairly superficial in most of their music, but they are obcvious in their proformance.

In 2001 Damien Hess AKA MC Frontalot invented Nerdcore HipHop by coining the phrase.



Frontalot took the 'net by storm by distributing his music online for free. It snowballed quickly into his own album last year and a full US tour this year all funded out of his own pocket.

The most popular nerdcore artist is probably mc chris



Chris Ward was once a comedian. But he started rapping around 2002. He did several raps for cartoon network original shows including "Aqua teen hunger force" and "Sealab 2020". He celibrates both gangsta' and geeksta' roots in his music.

In contrast to mc chris, MC Lars takes a more pop-music route.



MC Lars has been making a few waves in mainstream music lately. He is the self-proclaimed "Hero of the iGeneration" a phrase he himself coined. This iGeneration which grew up on ninja turtles and nintendo, now rule over the internet, and will have to deal with social security issues we're sewing today, seem to really flock to his music which is really the point of his music.

And now to tie this all together, Here's Weezer.



I don't know much about Weezer except that they're considered geek rock... and they did a song about buddy holly... and that I just posted that... so.... yeah...

Good old ifilm

Aww crud. I didn't update... HEY what's that?

Hey there everypeople.

Insomnia=Ranting about nothing.

Okay, so what to rant about today... Ah I know!

So Nobody gives Wierd Al or his band any credit. He's a very talented person not only as a comedian but as a musician and a video director. Do you know how hard it is to get 2 videos to match up and be exactly the same? Here's the original video:



And here's the Wierd Al version, note the EXACT same cutting-art state of the edge technology (for the mid-80's anyways) and the DAMN SIMILAR music.
