Nerdcore is a genre of hip hop music and nerd music characterized by subject matter considered of interest to nerds and geeks. Self-described nerdcore rapper MC Frontalot has the earliest known recorded use of the term (to describe this genre) in the 2000 song "Nerdcore Hiphop". As a niche genre similar to punk rock, nerdcore generally holds to the DIY ethic, and has a history of self-publishing and self-production.
