Senryu

Blue eight bit robot man
shoots white dots at machines
greatest game ever

By a tender age
Techno villains I did defeat
and garnish their weapons

Quick man, such a bitch
laser beams everywhere
freeze the screen to win

A tear to my eye
evoked from Spark Man's theme
what a dork am I

Nintendo-core
the most socially relevant
musical subgenre

love it. didn't previously know the term Nintendocore. Makes sense though. Makes me wish I could go to a Cat Scientists show :)

Check out two nintendo-core bands, "The Advantage", and "The Mini-Bosses" (a Mega-Man themed nintendo rock band)

This was so excellent! Vivid and hilarious at the same time. Nice!

Now my goal is to use the phrase Nintendo-Core in conversation tomorrow. :)
