"Loser Geek Whatever" (Official Music Video) 

Hey! Here's where else you can listen to the song: ghostlightrecords.lnk.to/bmc-losergeekwhatever

reminder that this is will roland’s first solo recording.

*ARE YOU READY FOR ANOTHER UPGRADE?* me: HELL YEAH!! wallet: no.

Mood: *joe iconis jumping up and down*

when he screamed "the problem has always been me," i felt that. God, i love this small bean so much.

IM SO HAPPY FINALLY WILL HAS GOTTEN JUSTICE AND HIS OWN SOLO TRACK TO SHOW HIS AMAZING VOICE

This sounds like a villain or becoming villain song (which it basically is) and I love it.

*Jeremy making bad decisions, abandoning logic, and his one true friend: part two* the song Side note: This song is amazing and I love it so much.

This is basically Jeremy's version of "Man Up" from The Book of Mormon.

This new song just brings so much more to this musical that I didnt know I needed. It gives Jeremy even more context for his actions and Will's portrayal of Jeremy's anger is done so well. Be More Chill is, and always will be, my favorite musical. It was the first one I ever listened to and it literally changed my life. It helped me find all sorts of other music I love and it helped me improve my drawings since I drew all the characters (especially Rich) so much. The story and characters have always stuck with me and got me through middle school and is still helping me in high school. I want to thank everyone involved in the making of this musical and the actors who make this all possible. Jeremy taught me to be myself. Michael taught me to always be there for your friends. Christine taught me how to have passion. Rich taught me that people arent always who they seem to be and that they can change. Jake, Brooke, and Chloe taught me that popularity should not matter. Jenna taught me that gossip gets you nowhere, and to focus on yourself. The Squip taught me that outside voices should not affect you and you must follow your own voice. Mr. Reyes taught me that I can take a 5 minute break so that I can eat a hot pocket. Finally, Mr. Heere taught me that if you love someone, you put your pants on for them... In all honesty... Thank you. Just... Thank you so much.

Be more Chill: Yeah it’s a kinda depressing story ya know? Joe Iconis: *hop hop hop hop hop hop hop-*

Joe Iconis just jumping there a little is honestly such a mood

The geEk or whatever

I remember hearing this from the front row back in August and man, I could tell how damn personal Will got with this song, his performance was so strong and he looked at me with this look of sheer heartfelt hopelessness during this song. Such an amazing performance, and what a wonderfully written piece. So much love

"The please-don't-speak-..." that hit me hard.

GOING VIRAL GOT AN UPGRADEHDJDJD

joe's dancing gives me life

give us a BMC cast album w the new cast thx

In the original musical, Jeremy seems sadder and more pathetic. He’s unsure and is desperate to do something more. This Jeremy is... bitter. He feels angry and bitter at the world for his situation. He’s still Jeremy he’s just... louder. He’s more sure of himself and angry it’s odd for me. The original made his sarcasm sound tired and wistful while the sarcasm here feels like barely suppressed rage.

Anybody else get Dear evan hansen ben Platt vibes at the start?

Lyrics: I already know what it's like to be the loser I should find out what it's like to not be the loser, or the geek, or the whatever I think I felt inconsequential Since middle school began I knew I had no potential To be the leading man But based on how today's going I'm finally gaining ground I even got some blood flowing With no computer screen around Which was cool But what really felt good Was doing something that I never thought that I could It's not only school that's rough Being lonely's stupid tough Now I think I've had enough Of being the loser, the geek, or whatever Michael thinks that weird is rad But feeling weird just makes me sad And I deserve to not feel bad From being the loser, the geek, or whatever Sick of being the loser, the geek, or whatever, yeah! Woah, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh Woah, uh huh, uh huh Dad taught me "Follow your instincts! Trust your inner voice! Listen to your heart!" And such My whole life I've followed my instincts Well, guess what? My instincts suck so much! So now I'm taking direction From another voice If my instincts have an objection Then that means I'm making the right choice Behaving this way feels bizarre But if things keep up the way they are Then soon enough I'll get real far From being the loser, the geek, or whatever If Brooke can look me in the eye Like I'm some normal handsome guy I owe it to myself to try Not being the loser, the geek, or whatever Sick of being the loser, the geek, or whatever, yeah! Woah, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh Woah, uh huh, uh huh Prompt me, command me, and I'll obey I have the bandwidth to do as you say Especially now since I clearly see The problem has always been me Take a breath and get prepared But still, I'm just a little scared For who gets cut and who gets spared When I'm the cool dude, the hero, or whatever If Christine likes me in the end Will I be able to pretend I didn't fail my one real friend But that's the shit I normally would think Get over it, get priorities in sync Just mute the voice inside your head And connect to another source instead I've earned the right to selfishly Be all for one and one for me I've wasted all eternity Just being the loser, the geek, or whatever I'm steady as the games begun I'm ready set, I'm player one The future's now, I'm freaking done With being the weirdo, the wuss, the underdog Being the misfit, the old-school analog Being the oddball, the weakling, freak The failure, the sucker, the please-don't-speak Oh, I can hardly wait for the moment when I'm not the loser, the geek, or whatever Oh, I'm not the loser, the geek, no, never, no I'm not the loser, the geek, or whatever Ever again

✔I want to tell my friends and neighbors about it ✔I want to see it grow up healthy ✔I will protect it

i literally can’t fuKCING WAIT FOR THE OBC RECORDING sksksksksksks

3:25 *concerns me*

“I knew I had no potential to be the leading man” It’s okay buddy now you’re the lead in a broadway musical ❤️❤️

I saw the show Off-Broadway back in August, and as soon as Act 1 ended, I wanted to listen to this song on repeat because I loved it so much!! Will's right - Joe Iconis is so incredible at writing songs that are specific yet relatable at the same time and this song is no exception. Seeing this song performed live was so awesome and I will never forget how silent the audience was when Will sang "the problem has always been me!" I'm so glad I can finally listen to this song on repeat and I can't wait to hear Will sing it again on Broadway in February : )

“the problem has always been me” ouch that hit home

WE NEED THE OBCR SO WE CAN HAVE THE NEW VERSION OF THE PITIFUL CHILDREN AND ALL THE OTHER SONGS WITH THE NEW CAST BECAUSE I LOVE TIFFANY AND JASON

I love will (Roland)’s version of Jeremy. I love that he is actually angry about the life and situation he’s in. I love how he portrays this as a last ditch attempt to be someone, apart from himself. I just love it. (If course I’m not saying I don’t like Will Connolly’s version of Jeremy too!)

This puts more Intel Into Jeremy’s feelings when he’s taking the upgrade. It’s not just a split second decision. You see that he doubts himself and his instincts, and ignores his emotions.

WEIRD IS RAD

"Well guess what? My instincts suck so much." M e

It is insane how good Will sounds in this song. This role is so perfect for him and you can tell how much he had developed the character in himself since the start of the off-Broadway run

this makes up for going viral not being the DEH deluxe album

Does this mean there will be a full Broadway version of the soundtrack soon? I can only listen to the Two River one so many times dying to know what Roland sounds like in it.

Wtf it's 9pm here and this got me pump af I don't think songs are legally allowed to be this much of a bop

This song is amazing! As someone who hasn't seen the musical and has only listened to the original cast album, this song makes musical Jeremy more like book Jeremy. I gives him more of a background to want to take the upgrade, rather than just straight up agreeing and getting rid of Michael. This song just makes me so happy!! Thank you so much for uploading this!

yo i miss the show so damn much. i wanna see these cool kids again

*approving looks and movements from Joe Iconis overload*

take a shot whenever will squeaks while saying geek

This is really random, but I really love how Will says "geek". Honestly, I love it when Will Roland does anything.

Something that I noticed, is that in the original cast recording, Jeremy never really had an I want song. Instead they spread it out through "Two player game" which was good but more of a fun buddy song, and "More than survive" which is my favorite song, but really is just an intro song that sets up the plot line for the story. This song really brings to life the reason Jeremy ignored his friends and own conscience, and it is also similar to the own self struggle that he had in the original novel. So although It is in my opinion not the best song on the album, it is the best thing for Jeremy's character, and Will Roland really made the song his.

5:15 That part where the time in his voice changes to a minor key really does give the song a little extra something. It kind of shows that he’s so desperate to be this popular kid that he’ll basically do anything. Even when the last note goes back to the normal key, it still leaves me thinking about that. I don’t know if that’s just be, but... 3:55

Will: singing his heart out Joe: silently bopping around

I’m watching this and the premier at the same moment😂😂😂

I totally forgot how talented Will Roland is omfg

“I’m player one” Oof... and it’s single player now

Hi Will Roland needs more appreciation please and thank you

I JUST CAME FROM WILL'S LIVE RIP HIS PHONE BUT IM GONNA SOB THIS IS AMAZINF

joe iconis? more joe ICONIC

I love the way Will Roland sing this song. He feels so angry but vulnerable, being hurt so much. And it's so cute that Joe Iconis keeps jumping around back there lol

i highkey have a crush on will

I swear, I love Will Roland, I love the way he portrays Jeremy!!!!

Mad props to Will for holding that last note for 8 FREAKING MEASURES(ish)!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

5:15 I don't know why, but that key change makes me feel emotional

idk if it's just me, but i am _shooketh_ by how different will looks without his glasses

KINKY!!!! Wait.......wrong musical

Me: *watchs Dear Evan Hansen and falls in love with Jared* Also, me: *watchs Be More Chill (2019) and falls in love with Jeremy* Also me: *starts to stalk Will*

"I guess because he thought I was sort of..." "A nerd?" "Loser, I was going to say, actually. But nerd works, too." ... Shit. Wrong Musical, wrong characters.

This enhances the storyline so much I’m obsessed

It sounds so much like an inspirational, getting better song until you listen to the words and start hearing the lies he now believes about himself....the problem has always been me...

thE gEEek

This, is one of the few additions I’m okay with, with the broadway version

God. This musical meant so much to me when I was 17 or so. Especially this song, I related to Jeremy so much. I’ve always felt different from my peers. A few weeks ago I was finally diagnosed with autism. I finally have an explanation for why I was always the loser, geek, or whatever. And I’m so happy with it. I don’t want to change myself anymore.

Unpopular opinion: I like will Roland a little better then Connelly but nothing is wrong with Connelly btw Btw I copied then so I’m not gonna ask for likes

4:50 those sound effects are just yes! Yes! YESSSS!

Just discovered "Goin' Viral" the other day, and now this?? Let this boy sing more solos damnit!

Dangit I have to memorize _this_ now?!

When he said “the problem has always been me” I felt that shit

There’s a bunch of comments saying they don’t like Wills voice but I personally think it’s unique and really fits the role. You can fight me but just listen to the 8-bit big band 2 player game HE SOUNDS AMAZING IN IT😁

Mhmmmmm, sorry, but Jeremy was confirmed as player 2 quite a while ago... or was that to signify that he's like being player 1 now, like the popular kid? Anyway, amazing song!❤❤

WILL LOOKS SO DIFFERENT WITHOUT HIS GLASSES AND I DON’T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT

Jeremy and Michael: We make it a two player game! Jeremy: I’m player one! Breaks my heart tho, it really shows the moment when Jeremy chooses to leave Michael behind him to be popular.

moments where joe iconis is dancing: 1:23 2:39 2:58 3:54 4:21 4:37 5:34

i see will roland, i click

i love how passionate and in character he is even in the studio

Oh my god....Will's singing is getting better and better every time I hear him!

Words Fail vibes during the intro? Yep? Get that tissue box ready!

THE AGAIN AT THE END KIND OF REMINDS ME OF I WRITE SINS,,, ALSO THIS IS SO GOOD HIS VOICE IS GREAT

Will finally got his solo Joe having the fun of his life in the background This is amazing and I love it! ❤️

Every single lyric in this song is relatable, but the most relatable one is: “If Brooke can look me in the eye like I’m some normal handsome guy I’m a trans guy, and my name is ironically Jeremy. My ex best friend was called Brooke and she didn’t support me in the slightest. This line breaks my heart every time I hear it because I know she’s never gonna see me like a ‘normal handsome guy’. This singular line is why I headcanon Jeremy as trans. That one relatable line.

Even though this song cut out one of my favorite parts from the original musical, it’s still great because it gives context to why Jeremy is making the decision to “upgrade” and shit. And the fact he’s self aware that’s he’s abandoning his one true friend adds to it I guess IMO. One of the other things I like more about this than the tiny segment in the original, is Jeremy’s sarcasm that’s almost complete anger that’s just suppressed?? I don’t know I ain’t good with words. Joe iconic, am I right? *laugh track plays* o r I g I n a l

Im sad... but Will Roland is too precious I LOVE HIM

Finally, just finally. I can’t express how happy I am that we can finally listen to this song in high quality (and learning all of the lyrics). Be More Chill has, Well, changed my life. It’s pretty sucky that I can’t actually go and watch the show myself, but Hey, at least we have all of the amazing songs to bring us as close as possible. Joe, Will, George, Gerard, Stephanie and everyone else, thank you, Thank you so much.

*Optic nerve blocking on*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM DYING, THIS IS SO GOOD. GOD WILL IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!

I'm really just here for 4:15 to the end. I love how angry he is and how he is openly accepting corruption .

Just like how to me, Ben Platt is the only Evan Hansen and George Salazar is the only Michael, Will Roland is sooo the only Jeremy!!!

i absolutely love at the end when will is being such a will and is like waving his thumbs around... like.. yes

*Bi flag colours in the backround* HMMMM

I can stop watching the bootleg one yay :)

I'm honestly so proud of Will. This is INCREDIBLE.

I really hope that when they do the movie for this, that they keep the songs in. They are just too good to pass up!

thank you, song for reminding us that all of this happened because of jeremys low self-esteem. it reminds us that there is no real villain to this story (well, besides the squip but he's just an overpriced tictac who worked in a shoe store)

The problem has always been me *Cries in musical theater*

i like his little squeak on "geek"

This song is very ironic if you've watched Dear Evan Hansen

I am soooo excited to be able to see BMC on broadway, it is my all time favorite musical and the music and acting is amazing!

Okay so you know how everyone has heard Michael in the bathroom as their first song from bmc. It was mine technically but I didn’t realize that it was from a musical. Go a few years down the line and I stumbled upon this gem and I just gfurndidhdisndhsisnod. I know all the words.

I love Michael in the Bathroom but this is honestly a little more relatable for me
