What band's fanbase has the highest nerd population?

It's got to be, like, Ween or someone . . . saying a stoner band like Zappa or a hyperpopular mid-90s alt-rock act like Weezer really doesn't fit the spirit of the question at all.

Zappa is about the LEAST stoner band out there. Frank Zappa was very strongly anti-drug.

Ween is not a nerd band. No way.

....and Zappa was a no drugs kind of guy.

I'm guessing that's Raffi. Glad to hear he's still around, my kids adored him.

Really? Ween's fanbase isn't nerd-friendly? Not that they're as dorky as TMBG, but I feel like their fanbases overlap, at least in my experience . . .

Re: Zappa - I meant more "hippy" than actual drug user, but that might be more the people I know who like Zappa than his fans overall, no doubt.
