Geekologie linked to a video for the “Dork Anthem,” and I won’t link you to it, because it’s terrible. My comment, recorded for posterity, because I doubt it will be approved on their YouTube page.
Trite. Same jokes have been made in much better music and with a much higher concentration of humor and originality. See: Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy,” and anything by MC Frontalot, other songs already mentioned in the comments.
Also, does it trouble anyone else that “dorks” seem to define themselves entirely by which worldwide-distributed intellectual property they like best? And how much of the merchandise they are willing to purchase and show off in their rooms? This is bothering me more and more.
It’s fine to be enthusiastic and interested in absolutely anything, as far as I’m concerned. But:
Your value and credibility are defined by your ability to create and originate, not your dedication to consumption.
