Rhett And Link Use A Rap Battle To Settle Geek Vs. Nerd Debate
Rhett and Link must have had a lot of fun during their guest appearance on Epic Rap Battles of History, because their latest video co-opts the format and applies it to an age-old debate. The prominent YouTubers brought in a host of fancy tech products, a few guest stars, a couple of costumes, and a crunchy EDM-inspired backing to help them flesh out once and for all the difference between a geek and a nerd.
I’ve never been one for the geek vs. nerd debate (I usually defer to this xkcd comic whenever someone broaches the topic), but I commend Rhett and Link for having consistent definitions. Their video characterizes a nerd as a socially awkward, computer-obsessed lisper who gets to hang out with guest star Hank Green, and it defines geeks as pop culture-obsessed iPad lovers who spend way too much time on the Internet and hang out with guest stars Meg and Trish from SourceFed instead. This dichotomy is basically the same as those Mac vs. PC adds, only broader.
As we’ve noted before, everyone on YouTube is trying to jump into the rap battle genre thanks to Epic Rap Battles Of History’s absurd popularity.
