RWA: What's your take on this whole "Weezer" thing?

hiii!!! hellooooo!!!

My name is Meri! I'm a guitarist, singer, and Weezer fan. I got into Weezer in autumn 2023, after my mom starting singing In the Garage while we were driving to a garage sale.

My projects

I'm currently going through the entire list of concerts to make sure they all use the more sophisticated format that the recent pages do. This'll probably take a while to complete, but it's kinda fun! Currently, I'm on July 2005, the third leg of the Make Believe tour. I'll return to working on this as soon as the maintenance is over!!

Something I wrote after listening to Hurley daily

Seven days of nonstop Hurley. I almost forgot the final night, but ultimately I'm glad I stayed the course. Oddly enough, listening to this stupid album over and over has given me a different perspective on Weezer as a whole. I now realize that a lot of the songs I kinda despise on other albums are of roughly equal quality to a lot of the songs on this album, which I really am a fan of overall. Where's My Sex is bizarre and weird. Smart Girls is dumb as hell. Hang On is totally corny. And yet, I love all three of those songs. If I can enjoy a song with such lines as "Yumi, Sherie, Allison, Mary / Which one do I want to marry?", what's stopping me from liking Troublemaker? I consider myself a Red Album hater, but a song like Where's My Sex is really on the same level as, say, Everybody Get Dangerous.

I used to hate these other songs for how ridiculous they are. After all, Weezer made Pinkerton! There's nothing funny about Pinkerton! It's not the 1990s anymore, though. I've always defended Hurley, but it wasn't until I did this that I really understood why. Hurley is equal parts dumb fun and honest writing. Time Flies, the closer, is a serious look at aging and mortality. Meanwhile, Ruling Me, the second song, is a goofy pop tune including the absolute all-timer line of "My ocular nerve went pop-zoom". Both of these types of songs can coexist, and the album is better for it. Maybe albums like Blue or White and albums like Red and Hurley can coexist, and Weezer is better for it.

Maybe part of being a Weezer fan is learning to let go.
