"Pink Triangle" was composed late in the [[Songs from the Black Hole]]/''[[Pinkerton]]'' period, and is said to be one of the songs that helped steer [[Weezer]] lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo's]] creativity toward the latter concept. Rivers explained in an interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross that the song was inspired when he saw a beautiful girl in one of his classes at Harvard in 1996. He watched her over a period of a few weeks and began to have fantasies of marriage, and was crushed when she came to school with a button of a pink triangle on her backpack. He had taken it to mean she was a lesbian. | "Pink Triangle" was composed late in the [[Songs from the Black Hole]]/''[[Pinkerton]]'' period, and is said to be one of the songs that helped steer [[Weezer]] lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo's]] creativity toward the latter concept.
