Chris Lo’s geeky blog
http://www.london-ers.com/ archives/ 525
Music isn’t inherently geeky. In fact, it’s actually pretty cool. But there are still some genres which are vulnerable to the geek tag. By my estimation, there are two simple questions you must ask to discover if a type of music might be on the geeky side. First of all – is the genre outside the mainstream? If no, it can’t be geeky. If yes, continue to question two. Secondly, why is the genre outside the mainstream? Is it because people are intimidated by it and don’t think they’re cool enough to listen to it (jazz, drum n bass), or is it because they’re embarrassed by it and consider themselves too cool to listen to it (heavy metal, country)? If it’s the latter, you may well have yourself a geeky genre.
