In 2009 in a BBC interview, Rivers said "The older fans – their tastes get frozen in time and they’re not able to evolve with the band. We’ve found again and again through our career that we’ve had to shed some fans like a snake sheds its skin, just so that we can stay vital." This was posted on [[Allthingsweezer]] and angered many fans there. | In 2009 in a BBC interview, Rivers said "The older fans – their tastes get frozen in time and they’re not able to evolve with the band.

Rivers Cuomo has | Rivers Cuomo has had a very unique relationship with his fan base. Beginning in the early ''Maladroit'' recording era, Rivers would post on several Weezer fan message boards, including the official Web site board and the "[[Rivers Correspondence Board]]" under the name Ace, which was inspired by [[Ace Frehley]] of the band [[Kiss]]. Rivers would ask for the fans' advice, treating them as a producer, often exchanging emails through [[Karl Koch]], and eventually posting on boards himself. Some of the correspondence boardies were even invited backstage during tours to play foosball with him. Some of the relationships with the fans pushed Cuomo's temper causing him to once refer to them as "little bitches", Cuomo being upset with the fans' demands for an older sounding Weezer rather than letting the band explore new sounds. Cuomo had also been known for posting on the official Weezer.com message board under the handle RiversCuomo. | ||
His Instagram and Snapchat accounts have been known to post content that fans have sent them, and he has also been known to reply to conversations. | |||
