When he started out the music he made didn’t have a name, so he named it himself: it’s called nerdcore. Frontalot raps about computers, video games, Dungeons and Dragons, superheroes, action movies, cartoons and other things beloved of the Comic-Con crowd.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&amp;blog=5290478&amp;post=91461&amp;subd=timenerdworld&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
