Or, one could always seek solace in the first record by the Descendents, who pretty much invented the whole "geeky pop punk" thing about 18 years ago(we're going to ignore the Buzzcocks for the time being...). Some of their songs are interesting narratives on rejection. In "Sour Grapes", the geeky Milo does not follow ESR's tips for the Pick-Up, and horribly fails to get some New Wave chick.

Hell, "Hope" off their record, "Milo Goes to College," was my soundtrack for years. Most of that album is about the previously mentioned geek mindset of "Maybe if i'll treat her really good, she's bound to drop her asshole boyfriend and go out with me!"... Heh. Of course, a while later i got into the Replacements, and subsequently half of the tracks off of their "Let it Be" became my soundtrack....

hmm. Has someone poster a link to the Geek Love section at Miningco yet?
