Weezer fans be like (hexbear.net)

"Weezer's 2016 album Weezer is a great return to form, so much better than Weezer. Weezer was a overly poppy album that had not enough guitars. Their 2001 album Weezer was a pretty good album but they lost some of their luster when Matt Sharp left. Thank god we still have Weezer, their incredible debut."

Also have you heard that rare b-side from Green Day called Blister in the Sun?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Umm, I'm sure I'm missing the joke. I had to look it up. You mean the Violent Femmes song?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, lol, it was common back in the Napster/Kazaa/Limewire days to see Teenage Dirtbag shared as a Weezer song, and Blister in the Sun shared as Green Day. I even believed the latter for a few weeks back in middle school.

Someone once told me that Weezer is the most overrated band of all time and I think about how wrong that is every time I hear about Weezer

My favorite Weezer (or Weeza, as they're known in Australia) tidbit is that despite the real life woman "Pink Triangle" was about actually wasn't a lesbian.

Rivers Cuomo (founder of an Australian clothing store of the same name just assumed she was because she was wearing a pink triangle as an ally.

Great, now I'm never going to be able to say Weezer without an Australian accent.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Island in the Sun is surprisingly not about Australia, much to the dismay of Australians.

Meanwhile, Led Zeppelin fans are shidding and farding their doo-doo asses[^1] about whether it's called "Led Zeppelin IV" or "ZoSo."
