"I'm a Rocker, I Rock Out." is a cute, no fuss, no muss, quick read. The main character, Indie Rock Pete, is a rocker, music elitist, and record collector. The one or two page length strips are mini-jokes, that, seemingly do not have a interconnected, overarching plot line. In other words, one panel sets up the joke and the next panel is the punch-line, much like newspaper comic strips. It there's a bigger plot, it wasn't apparent to me based on this book alone.

Some of the jokes were hit and miss. I generally found the jokes related to record collecting and liking-bands-BEFORE-they-get-popular to be really funny. Mainly because my brother and husband collect records, and unlike a lot of people, I search the internet for cool, new music instead of waiting for it to find me. Overall, this comic appeals to record collectors, indie music nuts, hipsters, people in a band or those who wish they were. To me, it kinda had a "Scott Pilgrim" feel. Either you get it because music is your scene or you don't. ( )

So in the year 2000, webcomics fished for fucking belly laffs with jokes about how "indy rockers" think they're cooler than the rest of us and know more obscure bands, and in 2013, the same comics, plus several thousand imitators, fffbls with jokes about how "hipsters" think they're cooler than the rest of us and know more obscure bands. Fuck. ( )
