- Weezer is often the laughing stock of the music world and considered a meme to everyone else, but they weren't always. However, that doesn't mean they started off on the right foot. Find out why even their debut Blue album got them into hot water decades before Raditude.

Since when has weezer had a bad reputation? Literally never heard someone complain about them before. I think you’re just making it up 😂
@@sanguine2552I hear complaints about half the time they’re brought up
It don't work, the link
Ahh no, The Blue Album was not Weezer's First Album. What about Pinkerton? I can name a few others. If they're so bad then why do other musicians want to perform with them? So they $0LD out and did a bunch of cover tunes... The boys are still getting a paycheck.
People have been labelling artists they don't like "industry plants" for as long as there's been an industry
or maybe they’ve been labeling industry plants as industry plants because that’s what they are? not liking the artist because the music is bad and not liking the artist because they are not simply an artist for the sake of being an artist are not mutually exclusive, dipshit
And sometimes it's legitimate, other times not. The video didn't really answer whether or not Weezer were one. Some bands hit it off big on their first album.
@@arvaakuka8568@Arvaa Kuka I mean does it really matter as long as their music is good and people like them? I'm not a Weezer fan but I've always wondered what is up with people's hate towards "the industry" and successful people in it.
@@michaelrivera8923 I don't have a good answer to that question. There's many ethical and artistic layers that go into this. What is the purpose of art? Who deserves success? Is the music industry a zero sum game where artists are fighting for streaming numbers against each other? All these questions are related to the industry plant debate. Personally, if I like music I will listen to it, but sometimes the backstory of the musician or group can influence my enjoyability quite a bit.
@@arvaakuka8568 this topic is probably deeper than I thought. Like you I just listen to what I like but I don't usually think about an artist's background or story. The only artist I actively follow started independent and later signed with a big label and this might be controversial but I feel their music has only gotten better since. Be that because they have more experience or because they have access to better equipment and better ears on it like sound engineers and music producers I don't know. I just know you can tell a pretty noticeable difference before and after signing. I don't think being signed should matter as long as they are making what they want.
Fun fact: all the members of the band were studying astrophysics and then decided to make a band.
That reminds me one of the Queen members was also an astrophysicist. It seems that every astrophysicist is a potencial musical star.

The hate for STP is not deserved they’re amazing and have their own unique sound

Glad someone said this. STP don't deserve that shade.
They’re great, but they were a manufactured band meant to ride the success of nirvana, soundgarden, and Pearl Jam
@@FizzyCapeNo they weren't, they were older than Pearl Jam
Agreed. Theyre no worse than the rest of grunge
Meanwhile all the normal people were enjoying their music and the gatekeepers were just shutting them selves out.
Fr it's like beiber or nickelback. Never understood the point of the hate bandwagons for artists. Like, it's art. People enjoy it. Move on. Who tf cares...

I didn't know until right now that Weezer was hated. I've always liked their music and I've never heard of any hate
They're not hated. This guy is just saying they are because he needed a video topic
Same
@@bengardner3408 Weezer is definitely hated, but it's mostly by their own fans so it's all good
They’re hated because of their lyrics. The lead singer is known for fetishizing Japanese women and overall misogynistic lyrics.
@@loveinstars that was one song and yeah the fans universally agree that song is creepy
Imagine people hating you because you're just too good at your job.
You cant seriously have listened to their Africa cover and came to that conclusion
@@LUNUSt I think they meant more the people hating on them for becoming popular from only their first album

@@megusta3208 i dunno, looked it up and found Weezer
I have literally in my 30 years of life not heard one person ever say they hated or even disliked Weezer
In my 38 years of life, I hear it all the time. And for me Weezer mostly died after Pinkerton. And they do sound more than a bit like a more radio friend Pixies, but that’s likely due to influences.
It feels very trendy. Up until a couple years ago I never heard any mainstream hate. They were just a band. But somehow somebody got it in the hive mind’s head. Now you hate weezer to show that you don’t have “bland taste”
@@ninuvids exactly it feels like the same story as Nickelback where people dislike them because it’s cool to dislike them when in reality they aren’t bad
True.
I've also not ever heard or anyone who loved them. Or even really liked them, aside from one or two songs.
@@TotalxTroll25k It's cool to hate Nickelback because "How you Remind me" was so overplayed for years and everyone is sick of it.
This is literally the first time I've ever heard of Weezer having any sort of "hate" ngl
In a lot of music forum settings they get hated on in a meme way
Weezer has been shit since 2016
My best friend hates their music and I will never understand why
@@Apple-Pie- I mean everyone has their own taste in music so I get that. I've just simply not once ever heard anyone ever say Weezer bad. 🤣 Especially not in groups like how Nickelback gets memed on
@@Plague_Architect ikr? It’s so crazy
Weezer just a bunch of chill dudes from the 90's
The music will be played for decades from now
Do the kids like it?
There cringey af bruh
@@jaygopinath1694 Are you a young'un? Is that the majority view of your age peers? Is so, that's what I've suspected.
I've noticed kids being into 90s music, esp. NWA and Nirvana, but I haven't noticed young people being into Weezer. And if young people don't like it, decades from now, the music will only be played at retirement centres. In this way, Weezer's probably more like Steely Dan than they are like The Velvet Underground.

@@wodediannao4577 idk I am a teen and I personally not super into weezer only liked blue album a bit and loved Pinkerton but I met a few people my age who love weezer. It's usually people who are into all the punk pop stuff tho
I'm so sick of STP being labeled as "ripoffs" anyone who thinks they are has never really listened to them. No reason to drag their name in any conversation regarding Weezer either.
STP is a great band. How can they be ripoffs if literally every album is different? They go through multiple phases and styles.
They were never in my list of top alt/grunge bands but I respect the hell out of them. Anyone calling them ripoffs is a clueless moron.
IKR? Like any band should get and sh*t at all while Nickel Back exists…. Are ppl forgetting? We have to make them remember….we have to make them remember ….. seriously, though
For real. Just people who aren't musicians caring wayyyy too much about what critics say (who also aren't musicians otherwise they'd be making music not writing about it)
@@AnnieBoBannie421 not a Nickleback fan myself but in my personal opinion, they aren't worth the hate they get. I'd take them any day over just about any of those emo bands.
Saw them live at the Hella Mega Tour with Greenday and Fall Out Boy. Definitely don't think their image is ruined in any way.
same ! was such a great concert
I will never forgive myself for missing hella mega
I would sell my soul for them to get back together to do the leg of the tour that got cancelled. FOB and GD are my favorite bands and Weezer is cool too. I'm so jealous of you!!
One of the few tours where I wanted to see all the bands. It was so good!
I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about Weezer. Idk what this guys talking about.
"Weezer has a terrible..." This is legitimately the first time I'm hearing this. Weezer got popular because that one Happy Days video was included on all copies of Windows XP. Like the U2 and Apple thing, but only one song and it was good.
Heeeellll yeah I had that buddy holly jam on my first pc lmao
I love early Weezer but it is undeniable that they have ruined their legacy, and if your on the music side of tiktok you run into a lot of people that hate all there music even there early good stuff
@@WaffleOnTheRun I'm not 14, so obviously I'm not on TikTok nor would I accept opinions from people who use Tiktok regarding music from my generation or earlier.
Nah, I vividly remember in the mid 2000s all the hate Weezer got lol. It was seen as uncool or dumb to like weezer at the time.
Thought it was windows 95?
I grew up at the time Weezer made it big. I have literally never heard anyone say one bad thing about them. Always loved Weezer.
Same here.
There was a line in a Korn song about them, and Beavis and Butthead, but other than that, I haven't heard anything else.
Chalk this up as your first time hearing it then. Weezer sucks. 😁
Click bait?
Same.
Urge Overkill dismissing Weezer's success is weapons-grade copium.
Cope Overkill
Urge Overkill sucks
STP had humble beginnings,Robert met Scott at a concert, they met Eric from an add in the paper for a drummer, then Robert asked his brother to join the band, the rest was history
robert is a genius songwriter
Weezer. Yeah this was created in a think tank
Thank you. I didn't get into STP until the irrational grunge-era hatred had dissipated.
@@crnkmnky Dude, I never heard of STP until Trippin' on a Hole in Guitar Hero 2, and I LOVE that song (and infinitely more so Interstate Love Song).
@@JonathanScarlet STP songs were in serious rotation when I started listening to alt rock radio around 2001, but "Trippin'" was probably the one that made me want to research their discography.
This is the first I’ve heard that people hate Weezer.
Edit: To clarify, I’m not surprised some people hate them. I’ve just never heard of some mass hatred of the band. The video makes it seem like they’re hated like Nickleback.
Same lol
You all have been living under a rock for 30 years. I don’t “hate” then, I merely dismiss them, but the hate contingency has always been loud and proud. Next you’re going to tell me you’ve never heard anyone hate on the RHCP or the Black Eyed Peas.
@@wellesradio Ayo what?
I’ve never heard anyone hate on RHCP
all of the hate i’ve seen was memes
Weezer go hard, I honestly never heard anyone speak bad on them
L
Allow me to introduce myself
Ive never heard them release an album without someone being insanely critical. Theyre all very tallented but they like to experiment withing their style and that upsets people. Every album angers some chunk of their fans.
Well I have never heard weezer rock
You are deaf 😂
My experience with Weezer was finding the Buddy Holly music video on my Win95 CD as a kid.
That’s so cool
Nice
New title, “3 dudes on Twitter with 100 likes said they hate Weezer”
Yeah man, first sentence spoken got the 'head going backwards, eyes squint and a perplexed look'.
"And 2/3s of them are weezer enthusiasts"

@@Faks.09 who said I listen to Weezer? they suck as well 😐
Weezer literally sounds completely different from the Pixies
Yeah, The only similarities between Weezer and The Pixies is the era and quantity of band members.
Pixies are alternative rock and created a whole scene. They literally influenced a whole generation to make music. I wouldn't say they are completely different when they use the same formula. Calm verses then when it comes to the chorus the lead singer starts belting and the band plays a harder rift. Almost every alternative band had this formula in the late 90s mid 2000s. I for one enjoy it. It's okay to be inspired by your favorite artists.
Weezer is the nerdiest music ever and then Pixies is like “I AM UN CHIEN ANDALOUSIA”
They sound NOTHING like the Pixies.
Lol come on, I love Weezer, one of my top 10 bands but they absolutely ripped off the Pixies. TWHTALMH is the same song as Gigantic. The Gigantic baseline is literally River’s singing melody in the song. But every great artist steals, especially in their younger years, and usually not even consciously. Nirvana bit the Pixies, Radiohead essentially stole Creep and Led Zepellin outright knowingly stole a ton of their hits from old folk songs. Still all incredible bands though.
I don’t hate weezer I hate the fact their fans can’t stfu about how much they love weezer
7 top ten singles, 15 albums released and counting as well as 9 EP’s and two compilation albums. For whatever bad reputation they have, they’ve sure been massively successful!
This video is saying that THAT'S the exact reason they got hate, cause they came out of nowhere and boom success right off the bat basically
Boy two of their albums are good though. Matt sharp was instrumental to their sound.
sounds like a pop band. the greatest bands didn't have top singles. that's for teenagers
Rivers is a great songwriter. Especially back then. That's why they had immediate success. Unfortunately you have a lot of gatekeepers who just hate to hate
Yeah but they only have a handful of songs that are good in my opinion
STP is absolutely awesome.
Never understood the hate for them.
Gonna be honest i don’t know anyone who actually hates Stp
No one does, it's just distain for Scott that taints everything he was a part of
They're very mediocre. Audioslave is strictly better.
@@Repetoire and soundgarden is better than audioslave
I guess the issue with them is when all the grunge bands had their own distinct sound that set each other apart from one another, STP just went around emulating everyone else's sound in a much less exciting way and never developed their own. Ive never understood why you'd want to voluntarily listen to their Pearl Jam rip off song Plush when you can just, y'know, listen to Pearl Jam
Love Weezer. They never cared what anyone thought anyway, they actually have a ton of diverse sounding songs/albums, and over all have put out a ton of music. Great band
nobody really hates weezer its just the memes and joke hate like nickelback, ironically i hate both of those bands because its not my taste
I growing up poor but my first two CDs that i bought were Weezer's blue and foo fighters' raygun. I enjoyed them and still remember all the lyrics.
This is the first time I've ever seen anyone give a shit about Weezer.
Other than a basic white girl
really? i'm surprised since they have so many famous songs
Beverly Hills stained them forever. No matter how much time passes there will always be middle class moms drunk yelling the lyrics.
I like the nostalgia that song gives me 😭
But I love that song.....
Yeah thats because when they were kids they werent middle class moms dumbass
@Melody Even in 2005 middle age yas queen moms were yelling Beverly Hills. I don't hate it but it arguably was the start of the Weezer hate train. I get people disliked Pinkerton. But people actively hate Make Believe mainly cause of Beverly Hills.
You would have to have been alive when it came out to understand... The song sucked, and they played it nonstop everywhere for too long
Weezer has a way of making you say "i didn't know you could make money from being that minimalistic"
@Lovesongs M. they were in no way experimental or revolutionary but they still made very good music.
I mean, you like Dragonball which is garbage anime for 7 year olds.
@@vertyisprobablydead meet me on playground
@@vertyisprobablydead don't you also have an anime pfp though
@lovesongsm.3757Pinkerton is pretty experimental to be fair, started another wave of emo around that time. And it dealt with some awkward lyrics, and was a deep dive into rivers. You don’t see that too much.
The Monkees where also talented musicians who eventually got to write their own music and even played it in the show. But soon after their show was cancelled. Corporate wanted a new band they could completely control. Fun fact. Weezer actually helped write one of my favorite songs on the Monkees 2016 album “Good Times!” The song is “She makes me laugh” The Monkees have fought for their recognition for a long time, and still are fighting to enter the rock and roll hall of fame. I’m sure Weezer has had a similar fight due to that criticism. It’s weird because we very much live in a world where most people don’t write their own music anymore and everyone is fine with the modern bands doing it. But you mention the Monkees and people throw a hissy fit.
I'm 29 and literally have never thought of Weezer having a bad rep. I liked them for a little while when I was younger, not so much into them now, but I would never say they're a bad band. I remember even my parents liked Beverly Hills when it came out and they were pushing 40 at the time.
Woah woah woah- we don't tolerate hate against the Monkees. They were made to showcase what would become the music video, and other advancements in visual arts infused with music, just as much as they were made to simply cash in on the Beatles-esque music craze of the 1960's. Not only that, but they were still hired as an actual band, who always played their own concerts in the 60's, and recorded their own playing from their third album onwards... The Monkees are the exemption to the "manufactured boy band" archetype. That'd be more like The Dave Clark Five, if you want a real manufactured band purely for money. If anything, The Monkees was rock history's Pinocchio. They were supposed to be fake and disposable, but almost immediately forced themselves into doing bigger and better things than they were supposed to do. Also, they were seen as peers by The Beatles, Cream, and The Rolling Stones. The biggest artists and groups of the 60's respected The Monkees as an invention and a group. Hell, Frank Zappa even liked them enough to where he made a couple cameos in their show and movie. That's how you know they're good.
Rip frank your dead right my man
I just made a comment about how the Monkees fought to play their one music on the show.
Yeah Fr the monkees are one of the greatest bands ever they showed the world they could do it
Dude, the Blue album is the best. I road my bike 8 miles to Newbury Comics to purchase the CD. That was almost 30 years ago. Time flies.
If I'm remembering the story correctly my mom went to a small concert Weezer had at her college before their first album was released. She said only like 20 people showed up. Also remember her mentioning the band being okay but not good at being on stage. Me and her went to a concert with Weezer and Green Day like a year or 2 ago and they still aren't great at interacting with the audience.
interesting.

The Weezer hate train has existed since before their first album. They played in my hometown Plover, Wisconsin at a bar called "The Cottage" in '93 or so.
Fun fact, Im assuming that's when they discovered Stevens Point Brewery (The City of Stevens Point and Village of Plover are two separate towns but you can't tell)
"This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings" is a reference to our beer.
That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing!
Sadly i think that might be wrong. If i remember correctly it’s a reference to river cuomos step-dad Steven, as say it ain’t so is about his family’s relationship with alcohol more or less.

As someone who has closely followed the music scene of the 90s, I've literally never heard of this supposed hate directed at Weezer. The uploader literally just made up this narrative.
Weezer didn’t do anything worth hate until they aboandoned their original sound for another level of pop stardom. They were very good at what they did and they slowly moved away from that sound. I stopped listening after their first 2 records. They still made an occasional song that reminded me of their glory years but I’d moved on by that point. Urge Overkill have a habit of saying bad things about bands that got famous before them with what appeared to be less work. They did the same thing with The Smashing Pumpkins. Jealous and sad people are always behind those kinds of rumors. ✌🏻🇺🇸
I love your videos. I expect them every week.
Pinkerton. That was their first album. And it is phenomenal!
2nd
I’ve literally never heard anyone hate on Weezer like what
in 7 Buddy Holly they'll sing "what's with these homies dissing our band" and you'd think it'd be to the buddy holly melody but nope! flintstones
I will never understand how someone can be like a music fan and simultaneously immediately hate any band or artist that gets popular or successful.
If you hate Weezer you probably remind everyone at parties that you don't drink
No you probably remind everyone you do

One of the best bands to come from the 90's. They are so good that theybare still putting out albums and touring to this day. Not many of those other bands mentioned can say that. I just saw them this summer at the forest hills tennis stadium and they sounded amazing! One of the best shows i saw this summer, along with metallica and pantera at giant stadium of course
Weezer is so stupid, and I love it.
No, they fell from grace by writing music for teenagers well into their 40s
Yeah, high school is weird because you're 40
yup. After Pinkerton it's all downhill
I have literally never heard anyone say a negative thing about Weezer in my life. They’re inoffensive and memorable. What more could you want from a band?
Everyone I knew as a teen HATED Weezer, but had one of their albums hidden at home they would listen to and not tell anyone.
