nerdscure

"Nerdscure" is a combination of the terms nerd and obscure. It is used when talking about something relatively obscure to the casual nerd or perhaps even a top tier nerd (in other words depending on what level of nerd one is or one is talking with). If some decently factual objective nerd material is presented and it comes from a flexing of ones nerd cache muscle and it is met with a puzzled expression on the other persons face (that you are talking with)... than that is quite possibly nerdscure. Either that or it is just very casual level nerd material and you all are just not nerd enough. In which case you need to go see your local nerd-shaman and follow the advice to get you back on track.

nerdstered

A phenomenon resulting from an attempt to pass off a fallacious story as factual, only to subsequently have the story proven wrong, resulting in exhibited defensiveness, bitterness and embarrassment on the part of the teller of said false story.

Synonym: PWNT
The term was derived from the following thread (created by a poster names "nerdster") on the NC State message boards:

Note the weak attempts at insulting those who are laughing at the expense of him having "nerdstered" himself throughout the thread.

Nerdcubed

The greatest youtuber in the world, Dan Hardcastle. Period. In case, you know, you needed another period. For emphasis purposes. He's incredible and if you are reading this YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE SCIENCE.

The above is likely the way he would define himself if he wasn't talking about himself. Nerdcubed is a Let's Player on youtube. He often rants, and commonly has issues getting his mouth to say what his brain would like. He got his start making comics about Minecraft, then beginning to show cool things to do on Minecraft and vlogging on Youtube. As of 3/23/13, he has 525,125 subscribers and 101,854,978 . His series of Let's Plays are "Minecraft Buildy Thing" (discontinued) which is exactly what it sounds like, "Nerd³ Plays", which is a fast, edited and comedy focused "first-look" gaming series, "Nerd³ Permadeath", which is him vs the game, to see how far he can make it without dying, "Nerd³'s Completes", which is a silly LP series featuring one game up until he completes it, "Nerd³'s Month of" (discontinued), in which he plays a game for 1 month, "Nerd³'s Three Free Game Friday" which is... pretty much self explanatory, and "Nerd³ Father and Son-Days", which is a co-op series with his dad. Nerdcubed's trademark line is "because science", given whenever a reason cannot be thought of.

Nerdature

Books everyone reads but no one over 16 will admit to. You know you're reading nerdataure when you remove the bookcover before reading in public. The lures of nerdature are the magical characters, fantasy lands, and epic journeys.

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
Did you go download the new Frontalot song? It's so nerdcore!
