Wasn’t trying to link anything so ignore that. I don’t know what happened there. I wish we could edit posts!

(And yes, Pinkerton is still my favorite Weezer album.)

Weezer’s second album, the “lost album” that was never made, was intended to be a sci-fi rock opera. Instead, Pinkerton was born, an album that was initially poorly received and full of controversial lyrics. Deep dive into the Madame Butterfly of it all. It reminds me of what’s going on with TLOAS.

And there's an AC/DC reference in there, too.

Taylor Swift is a conduit for people’s worst behaviors and fears and that’s what I think this album is meant to highlight. And everyone who has a platform whether they’ve spoken about her before or not, is taking the bait and proving her entire point for her.

My co-worker said my sweater is very Taylor-ish. (It's coral and red.)

Well this is fun, even for someone who doesn’t follow astrology much.

Maybe @treepaineburner.bsky.social our resident Mean Girls connection expert can shed some light on that?

I can’t believe I’m pulling out my bread books to look into this further.

YES YES YES!!!! I want to scream this all the time because it seems like even people who have been following along are still not fully seeing the bigger picture. You explained it so concisely. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Okay, so the song was used in a show called The Good Cop, in an episode called "Did the TV Star Do It?" directed by someone name Silver Tree. Also, look at the font:

Are you familiar with New End Original? If not, go listen to Lukewarm and then Eldest Daughter. I'm trying to find the invisible string between her and Jonah Matranga because it feels like there's one. I feel like she absolutely listened to all these bands:

Dashboard Confessional, Get Up Kids, and the Emo Gold Rush

Remembering the era in the '90s and 2000s when major labels couldn't wait to sign more emo bands
