It’s uncool to like Weezer any more since they are so mainstream and only make crappie music and videos that they want to ‘go viral.’ However, it’s important to appreciate them because their album covers are the world’s most valuable documentation of ‘watching an old indie band turn into COOL DADS.’
Pre-Cool Dad phase (1994)
Cool Dads realizing that they are cool dads but still holding on to personal and fashion choices from the past (2001)
Cool Dads Who Dress in black and wear cryptic graphic tees to look younger, slimmer, and edgier (2005)
Rich Cool Dads Who show off their krazie side/let their kids drink alcohol if they give up their car keys and make their friends spend the night (2008)
While it will probably never be cool to like Weezer again, make sure you always talk about how important they are in the Anthropological Quest to understand the evolution of indie-bands to COOL DADS.
‘I love Weezer. I am in middle school. My friend is in a band that covers them.’

QUESTION:
New Weezer is pretty wack, but even though old Weezer is better musically doesn’t mean it’s any better overall. These niggas look like they cut their hair with a flowbee, which has only been alt in the last few years. (http://www.flowbee.com for the less initiated of you mother fuckers out there.) So somebody tell me why I should admit to liking these dudes if they look like that. Dudes look like a Tim And Eric skit gone unfunny.
Thanks,

if you put on your special secret decoder shutter shades and watch the new weezer video a message from rivers “in my 14-car garage” cuomo appears!
I’M RICH FUCK YOU!
I WRITE 1000 AWFUL SONGS A YEAR FUCK YOU!
I DRESS LIKE U2 NOW FUCK YOU!
I MAKE MUSIC FOR DADS WHO AREN’T COOL ENOUGH FOR WILCO FUCK YOU!
I WILL DAZZLE YOU WITH MY ABILITY TO REFERENCE YOUTUBE SENSATIONS FUCK YOU!
I KNOW TIMBALAND PERSONALLY FUCK YOU!
it’s really easy to make fun of k-fed and miss south carolina, but are you providing any answers for the droves of dejected electro refugees who will be living in alt yardsale shanteetowns in 2k9? of course not.
look for weezer to open the very first emo-themed retirement communities in 2k23 where aging cool dads can apply eye makeup and write acoustic ballads about how their cool kids never come to visit.

Alts shed their altness when they shed that broken condom like a caterpillar emerging from a cocoon.

with all this talk of alt parents, COOL DADS, and the always impending electro-recession when is HRO gonna go from PURPLE HEADER to TAUPE HEADER? pre-emptive over-maturity is the new neon.

weezer should have quit music and got a serious show about politics on air america. like janeane garafalo.
rivers cuomo and natalie portmanwent both went to harvard – maybe they could broadcast about serious environmental and reproductive health issues together.
