Alright, a bit of background. This troper is known among her friends for her quirky, eccentric, and sometimes child-like personality, and also her tendency to ramble without making much sense. This has often had her compared to Delirium of the Endless, especially since her favorite book series is The Sandman, and is even occasionally called by the nickname "Del". Recently, however, certain things in her life made her lose that odd demeanor and become very sullen and withdrawn. Just a few days a go, one of her friends walked up to her and handed her a bag, and told her to open it when she got home. After she arrived home, she discovered that the bag contained The Little Endless Storybook (a spin-off of The Sandman, for those who don't know) Now, that alone is hearwarming enough, especially considering how her birthday isn't anywhere near soon and nor are any other holidays where one would give gifts to someone. However, the real heartwarming part came when she opened the book, inside was written, in the handwriting of the friend who had given her the gift, "To 'Princess Delirium': Please, stay by me, stay by all of your friends. Wherever Destiny takes you, even if he takes you to the closest place to hell a living person can go; I'll be beside you, they'll be beside you. Please, I can't stand seeing you in one of Despair's mirrors like I am now. I'm doing everything I can to find you and bring you back. You were once Delight, she's still in there. And if we do enough looking, we'll find her in you somewhere. Love, 'Barnabas'" Cue tears.

This troper has been badly bullied for most of her life, until she got to college. For the first time, she was in a class full of people who were actually nice to her, even though she didn't really know how to relate to them. Going there helped bring her out of a deep depression. One day, having her lunch outside the classroom (an out-of-the-way spot with a sofa), a girl from another class - one who'd bothered her before - threw water all over her for no reason and with no warning. It was a real shock, and especially traumatising given how relaxed she'd gotten. She sat there, crying, until the rest of the class turned up and asked her what was wrong. When she told them, they lead a crusade through the halls in search of the girl who'd done it, swearing bloody vengeance while talking me down. I know that it was at least partly an excuse to get out of class, but it made me smile.

This troper and longtime lurker wasn't very popular in high school at all. I watched anime and quoted it frequently, played Warhammer 40K at Boarders (and later stopped when the other 3 people who played with me all left), and read Discworld. Most people just thought of me as a nerd, and when my only friend moved to another state, I became almost depressive. I hid it from my teachers and family so they wouldn't worry about me, to the point where I was thinking about killing myself. The only thing that kept me alive was my love for anime, video games, and books. I know it sounds silly, but waiting for the next cool sounding one to come out really did keep me from killing myself. One day, I joined an internet fan forum for the Tales series of video games. After spending more and more time there, I became steadily happier with my life. When I announced that I was leaving the site near the end, I was amazed at the well-wishes I got from the people there. They really were my friends. And that's not the CMOH. It comes later, when my AP English class was reading Fahrenheit 451. Our teacher was talking about how horrible technology was (and how it was making us all lazy bastards. I bet all of you have had a teacher like that). When she asked the class for effects of technology, they all told her the negitive effects. As the emotionally unstable girl I was (and maybe still am) I started crying, remembering those friends, who I would never see again, and how I meet them through technology. When my teacher asked what was wrong, I stood up, went to the front of the class, and told my entire story. When I was done, there was about ten seconds of silenece. Then, a boy who sat near me stood up, walked over to me, and walked me back to my seat. Then he started the clap. Needless to say, the class joined in. I still cannot believe that something that wonderful could have ever happened, especially to me.

This troper absolutely loving HATES people in his neighborhood who play loud, lovely rap music in the wee hours of the morning. (Not that there's much for GOOD rap music.) Two choice things he has yelled off the back porch are "I'll chop off your balls and use them as ear plugs" and "Motherfucker, I will rip your cock off and shove it up your nose".

Today, it was raining heavily so I wore my black poncho as I walked to work. On the way there I noticed an old and seemingly homeless man following me. I turned around to confront him. He picked up a stick and screamed "Expecto Patronum!" Apparently I look like a dementor. FML

Given the penchant for musical theatre among tropers, I wonder how the existence of Hamilton will change their attitudes towards rap. Now all we need is a country-western adaptation of Twin Peaks or something.

In my experience, nerds who say they hate rap are either into power metal or dad rock, or both.

Most of the people exhibited in this thread seem incredibly insufferable and overall unpleasant to be around.

I bet 50% of them are the shy nerd that stands in the corner but is actually kinda normal when you engage them. The other 50% are probably almost as insufferable irl as they are on the net.

In my experience, they still don't like rap, but they sure do love Hamilton, and bragging about how they don't like any rap besides Hamilton.

That's different because it's a youtube video and the characters rap battling are ones i know from videogames! It's not like that Kanye poo poo where it's about bitches and hoes.

I thought they had a few videos there they had videogame characters face off? My mistake then, but my point still stands that those kinds of people still watch those videos even though rap is crap.
