weezer -
Weezer put out out a covers album in the year of our lord 2019, and they cover No Scrubs, a song that absolutely does not resonate AT ALL with the current socioeconomic climate.
Also they're a bunch of white guys covering a song performed by a group of black women
AND BASTILLE DID IT 6 YEARS BEFORE THEM
for some reason, I just hate weezer 2008-on

@KommaChameleon it’s hard for me to think of them as anything but “the people who made Buddy Holly”

@poss_bot Blue Album and Pinkerton are just magic. (In Pinkerton's case, maybe problematic magic that doesn't play so well with our modern conception of nerdom, but still) Then after a hiatus, they had some good singles that eventually led to crap like "Beverly Hills" and "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived"... and have continued in the 10 years since

I guess I cannot adjust to the fact that they've been "new weezer" for much longer than they were "old weezer" now.
