Megaman in Pop Culture (Music)

There are also several bands whose entire careers focus on the Megaman series and/or events surrounding it:


The Protomen in particular  have written an entire rock opera detailing the events and backstory of the series.They go into detail about Protoman, Megaman, Sniper Joe, the bosses, even Dr. Light and Dr. Wily themselves.



-------------

The Megas have taken a different approach, making all of their songs about the backstories of the Megaman bosses. As such, they had to create personalities and stories for the bosses based on their levels, since that is never given in the series.







Both bands have achieved relative popularity over several age groups in the United States, selling out small-venue shows across the country. (Even my mother has gone to see them twice..)
