music nerd
Vinyl-collecting enthusiast type
A music nerd is someone with deep, obsessive knowledge about music—whether genres, artists, equipment, or music theory.
The term suggests enthusiasm that goes beyond casual listening: He's such a music nerd, he can tell you the recording engineer on any Motown track.
Unlike audiophile, which focuses on sound quality and equipment, music nerd emphasizes encyclopedic knowledge and passionate engagement with music itself.
