"A nerd is just someone who rocks it; who embraces whatever the hell they're into. It's full capacity". Rapper Beefy dispenses wisdom whilst sitting fully-clothed in a javuzzi, cigar in hand. He and his Nerdcore brothers say they know nothing about "being in love with a stripper or rolling dirty or riding dirty - whichever one it is..". Like any great artist, they rap about what they know - comic books, astrophysics, and internet porn...

Many welcome Nerdcore as a break from the 'bitches and guns' of traditional rappers. Yet the rappers say this is entirely accidental: "it's just that I've lived through saving Princess Peach from Mario", says Nomad. 'Moby Dick' and Poe's 'The Raven' litter the lyrics of MC Lars. Whilst 'Lord of the Rhymes' - "straight out of Brooklynshire" - choose 'elf booty' as a theme. These rappers have found popularity out of the very things which once led them to be egged at school!

Yet there's division among the outcast. Beefy insists that rappers like Lord of the Rhymes - rapping in elf costume - bring ridicule upon the genre- "Nerdcore should be taken seriously. I'm not a parody" The only two female Nerdcore artists - Nursehella and MC Router - battle for the title of 'first lady of Nerdcore'. And Monzy taunts fellow computer science student MC Plus+ using obscure computer references: "I suppose MCPlus +'s mum uses Hore semantics".

Despite their home-spun roots - gaining celebrity on the internet and recording in studios made out of cardboard- artists like MC Chris have made the transition over to mainstream MTV celebrity. He's gone from "never being invited to sleepovers", to appearing on Total Request Live and regularly signs women's body parts. For him, since "everybody in the U.S. uses computers, many play computer games and there are now comic books for adults. There's at least a little bit of nerd in all of us". This riotous doc full of colourful characters is the real-life testament to 'the geeks shall inherit the earth'.
