im standin up in a wedding in a couple weeks and the bride and grooms first dance is to this song. i cant wait. if u wanna hear a good cover, look up Ash - only in dreams cover. its a little harder than weezer
Weezer did influence many Emo bands out right now. However, the bands that were influenced by them are nothing like that of Weezer. If there were such thing as a good Emo band, this is definently them.
Even if Weezer were Emo, that's not such a bad thing really. There was some good emo back in the 90s, before it got taken over by mall kids and hot topic.
Chradnev is right, Weezer is considered very much an influence on the "emo" movement. If you listen to some of Pinkerton you can hear the "mall kids" music influence.
no, i hear what your saying, its just i could never stand hearing that term Emo...it sounds so silly..to describe music..cant we just call it rock or alternative? lol!
Emo has been around since the 80s, it just hasn't been used negatively until the late 90s or so. Originally, emo possessed characteristics similar to hardcore punk., but with a slightly more melodic approach and emotionally personal lyrics. If you want an example, Rites of Spring are probably one of the most popular early-emo bands. I actually enjoy that sort of thing, but in a modern context, emo is used to describe pop-influenced pseudo-punk.

That distortion caught me off guard! I didn't think that Rivers's amplifier was that raspy, completely explains the awesome tone on the Blue Album

The thing that attracted many critics to Weezer is because they were so much brighter and happy than other alternative acts during the 90s.

the word emo started when a comedian called emo phillips came around,
i think the definition then ment "socially" unacceptible, or somthing gay like that

hmm.. i really don't think Weezer are Emo. Hash Pipe, Island in the sun, Buddy Holly... all have nothing to do, ~nothing~ with Emo
