Notes on other genres edit
Some other genres I have seen mentioned around the internet but not in enough depth to reference or around which to build a stub (yet) are:
- Geekabilly: Subgenre of rockabilly; for example, Pangalacticats
- Heavy mithril: Subgenre of heavy metal
- Nerd metal: Subgenre of heavy metal
- Space funk: Subgenre of funk; for example, Unidentified Funk Object
- Westerock: Equivalent to Wrock, Trock etc for the Game of Thrones series.
Above to be added to the article if and when more information can be found. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 16:44, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Filk edit
I have not been able to find anything explicit about the relationship between filk and the rest of nerd music. From what I've gathered, the difference is the same as between, for example, fan fiction and pro fiction but nothing I've seen actually states this clearly. It is definitely considered part of fan labor, like fan fiction, but there is no clear line separating it from the other genres, or otherwise categorising it, so I haven't been able to add anything to the article(s) concerned yet. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 16:44, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Brony Music edit
It seems odd to me that Wizard and Time Lord rock get their own articles, while Brony Music is only a single paragraph on the fandom page. From what I've seen Brony Music is a far more notable phenomenon than Time Lord rock, where Chameleon Circuit is the only notable act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:A927:1900:E537:1C17:16E1:2B4 (talk) 04:32, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Could someone make articles for these genres?
- Steampunk music (e. g. Steam Powered Giraffe)
- Nerd Funk (e. g. D20 Brass Band)
- Nerd Pop (e. g. Neil Cicierega)
- Nerd Punk (e. g. Thundering Asteroids!)
- Nerd Metal (e. g. Kraken Not Stirred) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C7:C201:C640:34F0:95:F04E:AE8F (talk) 15:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
Nerd Genre edit
I've reverted a recent edit that said Weird Al is "often referred to as the king of nerd music" because it wasn't referenced (the footnote anchor was never defined). Even if it was referenced, a single writer using that term doesn't establish "often referred to". -- Mikeblas (talk) 00:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
