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)

The Laziest Men On Mars

Industrial:

herdivore 

A person who eats trendy foods to fit in with their health-conscious friends. Locally-sourced, organic, free-range kale, anyone? May also do yoga (or just wear yoga pants), and can talk for hours about their latest juice cleanse. Typically found with an iPhone in one hand and a strangely green-brown colored "beverage" in the other. Usually they're not buying all that trendy food with their own money.
My sister in law is such a herdivore. She will eat anything that she sees on Dr. Oz or at Whole Wallet Foods. If you ask me, it's a waste of money, but her hubby's loaded and doesn't want to hear about her latest juice cleanse all day, so he gives her a c-note and sends her to yoga class.
