'''Vegeterrorists''' (or Veggiterrorists) was a moniker briefly used by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in the early 90s for an unreleased rap project. The name was listed in the [[Recording_History_-_Page_1#late_1990_Rivers_demos:_aka_.22Finishtum_Productum.22|Weezer Recording History]] alongside a song title called "Black Fur in the Hour of Chaos". Former [[Weezer]] guitarist [[Jason Cropper]] recalled the project in a [https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/weezer-blue-album-25th-anniversary-877089/ 2019 Rolling Stone article].

<blockquote>''Cuomo decided he would write [[The 50 Song Project|50 songs]] in a row before allowing himself to form another band or play live again. He moved to Santa Monica, started attending college there, and recorded demo after demo on an eight-track cassette recorder. He wrote only 30 or so songs, but among them were “[[Undone – The Sweater Song]]” and other eventual Weezer tracks. Cropper says that around this time, Cuomo also made an entire, never-released rap album under the name Vegeterrorists – songs about his lifelong vegetarianism in styles akin to Public Enemy and Run-DMC. “Rivers can drop mad beats and spit mad rhymes with the best,” says Cropper. “And if I stayed in the band, we would’ve done records like that years ago.” (The only released evidence of this period is a striking demo of Cuomo covering Ice Cube’s “[[The Bomb]]” like a one-man Rage Against the Machine.)</blockquote> | <blockquote>''Cuomo decided he would write [[The 50 Song Project|50 songs]] in a row before allowing himself to form another band or play live again.
