1	Nerf Herder are a pop punk band that started in 1994 and, possibly best known among tropers for the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' {{theme song}}. They have released four studio albums and two [=EPs=] as well as being featured on many compilations. It was also where Music/ParryGripp got his start, before his solo career of the 2000s.
2	----
3	!! Nerf Herder's songs contain examples of the following tropes
4
5	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: In the song, "Sorry", the narrator describes showing up at an ex's wedding, screwing up a picture, and having sex with the ex's sister.
6	* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Again the song "Sorry" and "High School". The former describes masturbation in front of someone's window and the latter describes it behind the backstop while the team plays.
7	* CreatorCareerSelfDeprecation: In "Pantera Fans In Love", he talks about how Punk rockers can't sing
8	* GoshdangItToHeck: The whole song "Oh Me Oh My".
9	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: An homage to to the TropeMaker is a damsel in "Mr. Spock".
10	* GrowingUpSucks: The "High School" song. School is pointless, no one shows up, masturbation gone wrong.
11	* HormoneAddledTeenager: Most songs are from the point of view of one.
12	* InstrumentOfMurder: In "Mr. Spock", Linus shoots a beam out of his guitar and kills a RedShirt.
13	* LeitMotif: Describing women's lips as a certain shade of pink- Annalee and Lamer Than Lame
14	* NerdsAreSexy: "Vivian" is about a guy who wants to be in a relationship with a bespectacled med student.
15	* ShoutOut: The band's name is to ''Franchise/StarWars''. "Welcome to My World" has many to old sitcoms/shows. To Van Halen, Pantera, Phil Collins, Kenny G, other bands/singers. "She's a Sleestak" refers to ''Series/LandOfTheLost1974'' and "Mr. Spock" to ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''.
16	** "We Opened For Weezer" is the band fondly reminiscing about their first tour, supporting {{Music/Weezer}} in 1997 - the music is somewhat styled after early Weezer as well. The song also briefly mentions ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', since they performed the theme song, and this tour occurred right around the same time the first season of the show was airing.
17	* SiameseTwinSongs: "Pantera Fans In Love" and "5000 Ways To Die"
18	* SpellingSong: In "Jonathan" they spell girlfriend without a few letters.
19	* StalkingIsLove: See StalkerWithACrush
20	* StalkerWithACrush: Many songs, specifically "Feeling Bad" and "Lamer Than Lame". "Pervert" is an even creepier version, as he describes wanting to smell her underwear and taking pictures of her in the bathroom among other things.
21	* SweetTooth: The protagonist of "I Only Eat Candy" refuses to eat both meat and vegetables, and seems to have no motivation at all other than eating candy.
22	* ThisLoserIsYou: Working at Radio shack, wearing elastic waist band pants, playing video games, etc.
