weezer

A band that sings about many issues in life and doesn't care about what the critics say. A true ROCK band. One of the very FEW bands that high schoolers and college students listen to and can actually relate to, unlike many new wave emo bands that have exploded onto the scene. Weezer sings with emotion but doesn't use it as a selling point. If a weezer song is covered during some coffee shop band's performance, people get nostalgic and start cheering them on, that shows how great of a band Weezer was. I mean if Taking Back Sunday was played during a cover concert, i would find it hard to reveal that i would actually know the song being played.
