+Mabry B Right? I was listening to this on iTunes, but then I decided it was so much cooler and more emotional watching it life, so I've been binge-watching the live performances of this for the past hour xD
Ah that breaks my heart. I love this song so much and how much it clearly means to him. I hate knowing that he probably can’t perform this anymore. It’s genuinely one of his best songs. Also hello 8 year old comment. Hope life has treated you well.
This song is so deep. I love it so much. I feel like he's actually singing to me, to everyone who listens. I want to cry, but this song makes me feel like I should stay strong.
Unlike all the new songs, this song has meaning to it. Bo was talking about himself, because he got bullied in high school. You could tell by his face he meant every word of it. All those people who bullied Bo are full of it. In high school, bo had no friends, now he has a load of money, a girlfriend, and tons of people who love and support him. Keep rising, Bo. :)
god im crying... its sad how much bullying goes on at my school. kids don't give a damn. Me and my friends are practically outcasts. other girls say "wow we are such nerds! no one will love US." ...and 5 sec later they're getting sympathy from people. and the kids that are actually getting bullied, get ignored. I try to speak up at times, but most of those people, completely ignore me. COMPLETELY. Bo Burnham, You are my idol. Thank you and good luck with everything, you deserve it :)
t- bullied by so many people that he would cry nearly every night, but always face them with a smile. The kind of nerd that had to go through therapy and would make up excuses so he wouldn't have to go to school and face the kids who bullied him. The kind of nerd who was so small he was literally shoved into lockers with his backpack, the kind of nerd that taught a physics lesson in middle school about positrons and in his AP Physics class about the dual slit experiment. The kind of nerd who has
@@kianaamarnani3 then how come he says the songs about "people like him" at the start every time and then sings about his actual specific hobbies and interests and the names he was called at school? it all seems v personal to him and i can't find the thing where he says he wasn't bullied anywhere
@@ohno2163 I'm not 100 percent sure about that, but he has said in multiple interviews that he was "popular" and didn't get bullied much, he could've been being modest ig so idk
"She stood in line and got cut. tried out, got cut. loved art but the budget got cut. then she got numb and she only felt when she knelt and cut" ....so wonderfully dark
I loved Bo before he did this song but this just completed my love for him. I'll admit that I'm a nerd and all my friends agree that I am. I'm supportive of everyone and they're choices. It doesn't matter if people think or look different. Everyone deserves a chance to be liked by everyone.
No. I'm talking about the one who has worn prescription glasses since the third grade, has been openly mocked and made fun of by almost everyone in his school since about 5th grade, has been in every academic club he could find since he started school, was the captain of his academic quiz bowl's varsity team in 10th grade (we even were on tv for a meet), has memorized the gnomish language from the Artemis Fowl series after painstakingly decoding the entire alphabet by hand using a single paragr
the only bad thing is...well in my school...being a nerd is cool... so everyone says "IM A NERD! LOOK AT MY HUGE FAKE GLASSES." and all the real nerds, such as myself, look like complete posers T^T
aph from the first book as a reference, and has been lucky enough to get through most of high school with the same amount of close friends as he has fingers on his right hand. I'm talking about the kind of nerd who was in band, chorus, and his school's theater program throughout all of high school, the kind of nerd that brought transformers and legos to school with him in the 9th grade so he could do something in class after finishing his work and homework; the kind of nerd that was -at one poin
What does he say at the beginning With the "if the show sucked.." I couldn't understand the second half. I love this song, I listen to it every night so I don't get discouraged nd feel
I watch every single live version of him singing this because he gets so into it and emotional and I just love it a lot
+Mabry B Right? I was listening to this on iTunes, but then I decided it was so much cooler and more emotional watching it life, so I've been binge-watching the live performances of this for the past hour xD
When I saw bo live he cried at the end of this song while singing it and it the most real thing ever he is genuine

@@crycrywolf why can’t he play it anymore?
"It's about people like me." that gets me every time! I love this song so much!
"I know it's bad kid, I got ur back kid"-possibly the best lyric I've heard in a long time. Bo's amazing.
This song is so deep. I love it so much. I feel like he's actually singing to me, to everyone who listens. I want to cry, but this song makes me feel like I should stay strong.
Kaleb Saez
Ha no, it's just really sweet because it's for the little guy
Amya Ride true
#deep
round of applause! XD
And when he says "she got numb then she only felt when she knelt and cut" it's great how he can be funny but also actually meaningful too
I swear he always sounds like he's about to cry at the end of this song... Intense.
Unpopular opinion: "Nerds" is one of the top 5 songs Bo has ever made
I go to kent state now, I can't fucking believe I missed this.
I cried the first time I heard this song aaaaa

"Your life peaks at graduation, well congratu-fucking-lations." That sums up how I feel about so many people so well!

by the end im always almost in tears. this is the sweetest song ever by the most beautiful boy ever
i relate to this on a personal level,one of the reasons Bo is my idol
He loses his breath at "3pm I pause"
Knowing Bo has my back is pretty damn amazing. This song is an accurate description of my life.
hey, i hope your life is goin better these days
"I've got your back kid" made me tear up a little bit...
I love this song
I really like your laugh. That message was dircted towards both Bo, and the person holding the camera.
I feel like his songs are evolving. As Bo gets older, I feel like he is able to maintain his comedy with a little more seriousness. I'm liking it.
“As Bo gets older.. a little more seriousness” huh? Well do I have news from the future for you

He's actually said that he never rlly got bullied, but this is his way to kinda show solidarity

Bo burnham is freaking amazing. I can't wait for this song to be put on itunes
This made me cry. Thank you so much. Its nice to know that someone I look up to is there for people like me.
I like the new Bo. His songs are really inspirational.
i love this rap

why does bo get better and better? Not that I'm complaining, I love it.
Because of this song I learned to just ignore it.
Thanks Bo! You helped :) I owe you one if i ever meet you

"I got your back kid" finally someone has the balls to say it.
this song makes me wish i was a nerd. I will never be mean to anyone ever again
I cried the first time I watched this and I just cried again. Bo is one of the best...Thank you Bo for...Wow. Thanks.
o me, and I know how much those words can sting. Even if we pretend they don't. Excuse me, I have to go to work.
the only bad thing is...well in my school...being a nerd is cool... so everyone says "IM A NERD! LOOK AT MY HUGE FAKE GLASSES." and all the real nerds, such as myself, look like complete posers T^T
The best thing ever made
This song is gorgeous. And I died a little inside when he mentioned Harry Potter.
I sort of live by this song. He's my idol
On twitter today bo released he has a 7 song ep. I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!
I find it weird that he would do a song like this, how it legitimately isn't funny. It's so fucking awesome though.
this guy should do a full serious album... i bet thatd be good
This song was amazing

i saw him live... i'm definitely a nerd because i cried at the end of the song!
thanks for having my back

WTF...I don't understand how someone can dislike this.
@neilkulp i tried to post a link in response to this, but it kept saying error. :( but if you google "bo burnham nerds lyrics" its the first link :)
Bo is amazing whether he's being funny or serious...
What does he say at the beginning With the "if the show sucked.." I couldn't understand the second half. I love this song, I listen to it every night so I don't get discouraged nd feel
And feel Alone.
lyrical fukin genius
Wooooooow :)
i can't get over his allusion to Harry Potter. :D
He reminds me a lot of myself.
No words
If I figure out how I'm talking to my band about covering this.
I believe it's "similar interests" not "similar instruments".
@taylormmeredith No problem! Glad you like them!
Studio version please Bo
There is a studio version Lol, just search Nerds - Bo Burnham
OMG U HAVE TO COME TO ENID OKLAHOMA!!!!!!!!
@dnw10021987 When does it come out?
@neilkulp It's on wikilyrics.
Wow! I thought I
I absolutely hate myself for saying this... It's mostly the identical chord pattern to Rebecca Black's Friday...

@JoSTomchess0809 I have no idea :(
I'm not a nerd.
^^^ Wow, original comment.

What happened to Bo? This song is definitely not his usual and it's actually wank.
He sounds very out of breath for most of this song..
