I hope you’re ready to rock, because…WELCOME TO WEEZER SUMMER!
This five-part series is a deep dive into how a young, quirky alternative band named Weezer—and a whole universe around them—became a kind of home for a teenage girl looking for somewhere to belong.

Pink/Blue: Part 4 and Part 5 pick up after the shows in 1997 to the present: through some big life events that year, like graduating high school, hosting a fan club meetup that summer (after a devastating tragedy that almost ended the club forever), and how my high school, Weezer-y identity collided with the new identity I was building at college. I fly through more albums, more shows, their musical legacy and where they are today, and how I feel about the direction they’ve chosen (and over the course of writing this, my current opinions surprised even me)!
