nerdcore

Any form of music that is made by nerds, for nerds, or about nerdly things. Nerdcore can be made in any style of music, but most people identify it in either its pop-punk or hip-hop forms. Although many people think the term "nerdcore" was made up by MC Frontalot, it has in fact been in use by rock bands for many years prior to Frontalot's use of the term.

Nerdcore should not be confused with bands that are simply stereotypically popular with nerds such as They Might Be Giants, DEVO, Ween, etc.

Musicians in this genre include (but are by no means limited to):
Rock:
Treephort
Nerf Herder
Warp 11
The Aquabats (definately moreso in their later albums)
The Phenomenauts (Mainly because of their pre-occupation with science)
The Mathematicians
MJ Hibbet

Hip-Hop:
MC Frontalot
MC Chris
MC Lars
MC Hawking
MC Paul Barman
Del Tha Funkee Homosapian (specifically on the "Deltron 3030" album)
Optimus Rhyme
The Lords Of The Rhymes

Electronic:
The NESkimos
The Laziest Men On Mars

Industrial:
Kompressor

Parody:
Weird Al

nervous

A condition of fear that causes one to be tense, awkward, jittery, and apprehensive, possibly with trembling or excitability, often caused by being uncertain of what dangers may be looming or how to handle them.

For example, teenagers regularly feel nervous when they don't know what an attractive person of the opposite sex thinks of them.

are you nervous

A game that can be initiated by both genders. 2 or more people slowly move their hand towards a private area of another, while repeating over and over "Are You Nervous? Are You nervous?", until the person being touched says yes or no. it has been said that if the person being touced says nothing throughout, you can bet they are not a virgin. It is common for men to use it as a pick-up technique by asking a girl, "Hey. Wanna Play Are You Nervous?"
A Guy and a girl decide to play Are You Nervous. The boy slowly runs his hand up the girl's abdomen repeating the quoted phrase above. If she yelps or says yes before he reaches her breast, she is either uncomfortable or desperate to cling on to her virginity. If she says no, she might be aroused. If she says nothing, others are led to believe she is not a virgin.
