Generation Blue is a 2024 multimedia project curated and edited by S.W. Lauden (a pen name for former Ridel High drummer Steve Coulter). It consists of a compilation album and oral history book covering Weezer's contemporaries in the early 90's in Los Angeles.
The record was released both digitally and as a limited-edition vinyl LP on April 26, 2024. It features 11 songs by the bands featured in the book, some of which are previously unreleased. A record release concert was held on April 28 in Monrovia, CA.
Cuomo comes to surface a week later, calling from a Howard Johnson's and apologizing for his absence. "I was losing my mind that day," he says, "so I jogged for three hours around New York. That night we played - and it went great." An upbeat statement, considering that Cuomo's persona and lyrics are more sad than goofy. Weezer tread the dangerous line between gimmick and straightforward rock & roll: Anguished love songs like "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" butt heads with half-assed Cuomo asides: "I look like Buddy Holly...and you're Mary Tyler Moore."
