(this is re: Switchfoot)
fun fact: I actually did not know that Switchfoot was a Christian band until years later
to be fair, The Beautiful Letdown really isn't that heavy-handed about it, at least if you're as oblivious to this stuff as I was

They were one of those fluke Christian bands who managed to score a big mainstream hit. To my eternal consternation they actually weren’t bad.

Like, U2 isn’t a “Christian rock band” even though the “you” in the songs is often Jesus…
That or old hymns like "Amazing Grace" where they actually put effort into the lyrics instead of copy-pasting the same Christianity 101 in every song.
A few years ago a listened to it again for the first time in ages and I was like “this sounds like proto-Soundgarden” and after some digging /1
"Could we have know, never would I have helped to nail down."
"And here's the clincher, this should be you."
And it's about him accidentally triggering a guys claustrophobia.
But yeah, there’s some connection there.
But Weezer?!?

Oh you liked 2 bands who were popular at the same time in the same genre? What a poser

[chuds] HOW DARE YOU, SIR!,
Also, I was in junior high like "I mean, I still like Warrant tho"
I feel safe
No one cares about [whatever other bands I might be listening to]
In the garage

No one [polices my music tastes]
In the garage
🥲🥲🥲
name albums
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
: )
Fun fact: there is a conspiracy theory that Kurt Cobain faked his death and reinvented himself as Rivers Cuomo...
Punks liked it, hippies liked it, shoegaze girls liked it. Our assistant manager who was EXACTLY LIKE the character Dick in High Fidelity, he really liked Weezer too.
If you have eclectic taste that seems like you're more authentic not less
A gatekeeper seems the more likely poser because they are denying good art to fit an image of what is correct
this relates to one of my takes: a lot of ppl into music don’t actually like music
