Weezer is an American rock band formed in 1992 that is known for its melodic hooks and quirky lyrical content. Their debut album, featuring the hit 'Buddy Holly', helped establish them as one of the leading bands of the 90s alternative rock scene. Trivia: The band often incorporates references to pop culture and has a cult following, particularly for their blue album and 'Pinkerton' which wasn't initially successful but has since been reappraised as a classic.
