So in the last week and a half, we have been in Kansas City, Alabama, Maryland, and Phoenix. All of them great shows. Last week we released our 1st music video for our song, "The Dork Anthem." As of now it has close to 32,000 views on Youtube.
The video has caused a little bit of a stir on blogs which is amusing to watch. People are arguing the definition of the term "Dork." Some feel it's the anatomical term for different animals. This is a tough one to get on board with since I heard this in 5th grade and we can't seem to agree on the animal.
Also, apparently, Geek and Nerd are fine but Dork is somehow more derogatory because it suggests a social awkwardness or something. Personally, I was consistently called all 3 things from 6-11th grade and no one seemed to differentiate. It sucked to be called all of them.
Change the word Dork to Nerd or Geek in the song and people would be having the same arguments, yet the point of the song does not change. It's too bad because they are missing the point. It's meant to be a fun song that hopefully encourages people not to care about labels.
Enjoy the video and pass it along to your friends!
