--> {{Nintendo}}'s been givin' me the blisters.

** He now has a new album called ''Bitrektual'' which gathers "Cantina" with the ''Banned On Vulcan'' sangs and adds several new scifi-inspired songs, including one for ''DoctorWho''.

* Underground rapper {{MF DOOM}} is quite possibly one of the most obvious cases. His main persona is basically a hip-hop version of DoctorDoom, almost never appearing without a metallic Doom mask. Nerdy references get dropped in his lyrics throughout, including (but certainly not limited to) ''SuperMarioBros, Franchise/StarTrek, VideoGame/DonkeyKong'', loads and loads of comic book series, ''{{Transformers}}, {{Godzilla}}'', and so on. Hell, he even uses some samples from video games and animated series.

* YoshikiHayashi likes [[CaptainObvious fashion]], {{KISS}}, Music/HeavyMetal, ''OnePiece'', ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', and ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.

** His verse on "Don't Look Down" by fellow Musical Freak KanyeWest is all about the departure of Phoenix from the {{X-Men}}.

* Will "will.i.am" Adams of the BlackEyedPeas had a C-list X-Men character written into ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' for him to play, because if he couldn't play Nightcrawler, he wanted to be someone with the same powers. And really, even without the references to SF (including Transformers) in their lyrics, any group which has giant dancing mecha in their videos deserves to be on this list.

* {{Buckethead}}, while rarely vocal about himself, is known to be an avid video gamer, comic book fan, StarWars fan, horror movie geek and GiantRobo enthusiast. He's also composed music for one of the MortalKombat movies, and one of his songs appears in the newest TwistedMetal game.

* OwlCity declared in his Twitter to be a DoctorWho and {{Homestuck}} fan.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BSLPH9d-jsI And now she(and singer Peter Hollens)]] give us the theme from ''{{Skyrim}}'', in full costume no less!

** Jonny is also a huge contemporary classical music nerd, drawing influences from such composers as Stockhausen and Penderecki. This shows in his scores for movies such as ThereWillBeBlood.

* Lupe also references [[DragonBall Dragon Ball Z] in his "Free Chilly" freestyle (not to be confused with the song on his "The Cool" album) with the following line: "I push ki like Dragon Ball Z, see what I'm [[StealthPun Saiyan]]."

** The RZA is not the only comic geek in the Wu-Tang Clan. Method Man and Ghostface Killa often refer to themselves as [[GhostRider Johnny Blaze]] and [[IronMan Tony Stark]], respectively.

** He also made a [[TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] themed track, [[http://soundcloud.com/headhunterzmedia/headhunterz-dragonborn Dragonborn]], which he released as a freebie.

** He's also a self-proclaimed fan of ''{{Berserk}}'' and was picked by Kentaro Miura himself to voice in the commercial promoting the new OVAs for the series.

* Matthew Sweet was an anime fan before it was popular. His 1991 music video ''Girlfriend'' was composed almost entirely of scenes from ''SpaceAdventureCobra''. Lum from ''UruseiYatsura'' (whom he reportedly has a tattoo of) was featured prominently in his "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffs_HWo7B8Y I'll Be Waiting]]" video.

* {{Music.Anthrax}} are ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' fans and have appeared on-stage dressed as Judges and done a song entitled, appropriately enough, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rVFi6qkPHE I Am The Law]]'' based on the comics.
