Reminds me of one of SNL's best skits.

Edit: and if you are a weezer fan ready for an emotional journey I can't recommend this video enough.

I'm not a fan of Weezer, like, at all. But the one about being in love with a lesbian was mildly amusing? I don't remember why.

Pink Triangle

I think it's funny he later found out she wasn't even a lesbian

Yeah, did she lie, did he just assume? Idk

Turns out she was wearing it as an ally.

A carabiner? The flag in some form?

Pink Triangle on her sleeve.

A pink triangle is a symbol for the LGBT community. Initially intended as a badge of shame, it was later reappropriated as a positive symbol of self-identity. It originated in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s as one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, distinguishing those imprisoned because they had been identified by authorities as gay men.[1][2] In the 1970s, it was revived as a symbol of protest against homophobia, and has since been adopted by the larger LGBT community as a popular symbol of LGBT pride and the LGBT movements and queer liberation movements.[3][4]

I've loved that song since I was a teenager. Just something about the feeling of yearning followed by realizing she's not gonna be into you so you've gotta process those feelings.

People who make a band their whole personality always weird me out. In the Greek metal scene there's always slap-fights between Manowar-stans and Iron Maiden-stans (others too, but usually those two mostly), with the rest of us being like Awkward look meme

Weezer slaps. They have good and bad songs but they still put out decent bops. Weezer slaps.

Weezer fans hate being reminded that they were on the Windows 95 cd-rom.
