Weezer, una de las bandas más icónicas del rock alternativo, se formó en Los Ángeles, California, en 1992. El grupo surgió de la unión de cuatro talentosos músicos: Rivers Cuomo (vocalista y guitarrista), Patrick Wilson (baterista), Matt Sharp (bajista) y Jason Cropper (guitarrista). Esta formación inicial sentó las bases de lo que sería una carrera larga y llena de éxitos.
Rivers Cuomo, el motor creativo del grupo, había pasado por diversas experiencias musicales antes de fundar Weezer. Influenciado por bandas como The Pixies y The Beach Boys, Rivers comenzó a componer canciones que combinaban letras introspectivas con melodías pegajosas. La visión de Cuomo y la química entre los miembros de la banda rápidamente captaron la atención de las discográficas.
En 1994, Weezer lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, comúnmente conocido como “The Blue Album” debido a su distintiva carátula azul. Producido por Ric Ocasek de The Cars, el álbum fue un éxito inmediato tanto comercial como críticamente. Canciones como "Buddy Holly", "Say It Ain't So" y "Undone – The Sweater Song" se convirtieron en himnos generacionales.
El éxito de "The Blue Album" catapultó a Weezer al estrellato. Sus vídeos musicales innovadores y llenos de humor también ayudaron a establecer su imagen pública. El vídeo de "Buddy Holly", que homenajeaba a la serie de televisión “Happy Days”, ganó varios premios y se convirtió en un clásico de la era de MTV.

I'm just a friend of a friend
And I'd like to get to know you too
And see what you are going through
I'm not just after sex
I want to bask in the delight that is your womanhood
And call your name, Alice
I read the program by the light on my phone
But all I could think about was being with you alone yeah, yeah
And all the players in the orchestra pit were playing perfectly fine
But I just didn't get it yeah, yeah
Then you dropped your flowers on the ground
Some day I know that you will come around
No hate, I know it is what it is
Deep down, I know you're just a friend of a friend

Sometimes it's hard to know what I should do
