That has been challenging when I try to join "nerd" communities online in an effort to find "my people" only to be completely lost by all of their memes and cultural references. I've not seen any superhero films, or TV shows, or anime, am not into cosplay, or video games, or RPGs, have never seen Star Wars, or participated in any of the other standard nerd activities.

But my musical interests are all-consuming. The most concise response I've been able to pen summarizing my sonic proclivities clocks in at just under 350 words and closes with a Fruchterman-Reingold graph, to which I'm usually met with jeers or dismissal for my use of terminology like "quasi-geometric transformational linearity."

All the more reason that I'm glad MB is here.
