I though of as many companies that would and could be related to rock and nerd culture. For example, magic the gathering is a card game and is considered nerdy. Same with pokemon & adventure time. More gaming products by Blizzard entertainment, steelseries & Sony.

Mood board
The reason why those certain bands are on there is because they are all roughly of the same genre and attract the same audience and of course a sterotypical person that listens to this sort of music would like horror films, books and dark games like Diablo 3. Since the target audience is a bit of a socialiser but also likes to stay home sometimes, social networking allows them to keep in touch while they're at home playing games or watching TV programs like the walking dead. Maybe the audience would be moderately interested in piercings and stretchers but i personally dont like it but going from the sterotype then it might be different.
