Nerdcore is a term coined by a guy called MC Frontalot to describe music that is, by its nature, intended for consumption by nerdy people
BK
Bryan Kissel · 1:08 AM
themes include social criticism, video gaming, larping ect. in its original context nerdcore was rap and hip hop focusing on themes like pokemon and mc hawking

in fact there is an artist named 'mc hawking'

WHat I want to see is MC Larping.
