I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
Comedians
And
Blues music
If you want a geeky instrament look at the recorder... i hate that thing.
I personally like the flute and picallo, but both of those arnt really considered manly.
The harmonica (a.k.a. mouth harp) is not nerdy. It comes closer to nerdy when played by a white guy (just telling the truth), but everyone I know considers it a blues man's instrument.
I am a white guy, to be fair, and I am not a comedian (yet?). I just think it's a cool instrument, and a seemingly easy one. The point of the thread was to make sure the harmonica is NOT nerdy. I am in high school atm, so do you think the other kids would think it odd, nerdy, eccentric, or none of the above? or, less likely, cool? or just plain neutral?
Btw thanks so much for actually commenting
If your high school is like the one I went to, any attempt to better yourself or do anything that is not 100% conformist or cliquey will get you called names, intimidated, or beat up.
It is different. So yes, you will get harassed for it.

Prepps are worse than normal. Atleast you have the outcasts and the goths/emos at other schools you could fit in with. Once a prep decided you where out, they all thought you where out.

I'm not out yet mostly because they don't know about this or that I played WoW for a few years before I quit
In my opionen harmonica = badass, but honestly if they dont like it @$% em, and find a better class of people to hang out with.
Now a harmonica can be cool but that depends upon how you play it. Playing one with sunglasses might help. Playing one with confidence might help even more. Not screwing up a tune will definitely be beneficial to your street cred. So if you think you can pull it off then go for it.
Possible exceptions to this may include the bagpipe, recorder, and kazoo....
I'm really wishing I had some more musically talented friends right now so we could start up a band.
Not a regular flute, those are girly. I'm talking the manly skin flute. It might take some time getting use to playin' it but once you become accustom to it you'll be a champ.
I'm a dude but thanks :P
Oh and thanks guys, I think I'll try playing harmonica a little, I suck at drums anyway
Oh and I'll stay away from the bagpipe, recorder, and kazoo too, tyvm
and accordions!
I'm a dude but thanks :P
Are you trying to say that dudes shouldn't be playing the flute or that dudes shouldn't like other dudes?
Apperently I'm the only one who's seen fistful of dollar, a few dollars more, and the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I have those movies on tape. My dad loves Eastwood, so I grew up on Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns.
He's saying he dosn't want to play with your meat whistle.
exactly! lol
I mean his name is dirty frank ffs
Is it nerdy? Maybe. Most of the musicians I know - myself included - are nerds. It has little to do with their favored instrament.
Very pitiful people.
Here's a secret. 95% of all people don't care that you're trying to achieve something, or better yourself, or change your life in a positive way. Most people are losers who can't change their life in positive way, and it's easier for a loser to try and drag you down to their level rather than try ascend to yours.
Do you like the harmonica? Do you find it cool? Do you REALLY wanna learn to play it? If the answer is yes, then do it. When someone tells you something negative for it, tell them to go **** themselves.
It was the same for me when I told my friends I wouldn't try drinking alcohol or smoking. They were being jerks about it, I just turned around and ignored them, never hung out with them again. But who the hell cares? There are 6,5 billion people on this planet. And you have plenty to choose your friends from. Take the best, screw the rest

What about his skin snorkel? Could be a lifesaver ...
Almost everything I ever dd got me beat up in my school lol. You see, society expects you to behave the way they want you to. They can't exactly force you to do as they do, but they mark you an outcast by beating you up, and making fun of you. It's their way of showing you they don't like you or what you do.

Thanks for the uplifting advice, I do want to learn how to play the harmoinca SO I WILL! RAWR!
As for the skin snorkel, studies have found that playing one underwater leads to a higher chance of death, not a lower one. Sorry.

Studies schmudies. You'll never know for sure 'till you try it yourself.

Such a generous offer, but I don't roll that way and your name is Zombie Babies... so yeah... Maybe try Nevada, not the Dungeons and Dragons forums

I thought he was talking about snorkeling and not rolling. Did he ever mention rolling? I'm sure he was only talking about the skin snorkel.

Such a conundrum. The world may never know, Mr. Dirty Frank.

That's true. I don't roll at all, actually. Why all the hate for snorkeling? Skin snorkels are snorkels, too.

But a skin snorkel... surely you allude to a phallus?
Also if you're fat enough you could have someone teach you how to "roll"

I'm pretty skinny, actually. An' all I was talkin' about was a skin snorkel. Whatever hangups you've got with that are your own, man.

Which is why his fiancee makes a lot of cakes. She's trying to fatten him up a bit so that they can get some rollin' goin' on.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

You really think so? That ***** ...

I know man. I know. She has no right to turn you into a roller if you ain't want to be one. A man should be allowed to be a snorkeler. There ain't nothin' wrong with a man snorkelin'. Why do women have to be so anti snorkelin'?

I have no idea. All I wanted to do was snorkel in peace, you know? Now I've got all this tasty food thrown at me with some terrible ulterior motive to turn me into a roller. The ****.
Yeah, and she makes them cakes looks so tasty and irresistible.
**** **** ***** what the ****?!?!?!?!
They seemed so innocent but the whole time the cakes had a mind of their own! They want to make me quit snorkeling!

It's got to be on purpose. If it were on porpose, that'd be cool, though. Cuz porposes sort of snorkel, you know?

Dood. Nothing should ever make you want to quit snorkeling. Ever. Quit cake. Cake is the problem.
And regarding the nerdiness of other instruments, drummers are never nerdy UNLESS you can call them percussionists without them batting an eye.
One of the main benefits of playing a harmonica is that they fit nicely inside a closed fist when you're knocking somebody on their ass for insulting your choice of musical instruments...
And they do have sharp corners too. Good for lacerating facial nerves. Nothing says nerd rage like severing a facial nerve so a bully forever looks like he had a stroke.
