Is there any other power pop that's as heavy and catchy as Weezer first 2 LPS? I feel like it's one of those genres where nobody eer came close to this band. Kinda like shoegaze with MBV

power pop is a non-genre imo. the term is applied to bands from so drastically different musical backgrounds, e.g. folk pop, jangle pop, pub rock, new wave, punk rock, slacker rock, indie rock, ... and so many different levels of actual power that without at least asking the question "powerful compared to what?" it carries basically no information other than that the music is supposed to be vaguely catchy and energetic.



i also think Weezer is fucking cringe and a lot of 90s pop punk is both much more catchy and more heavy.

good pick, but more of a praise chorus or sweetness guy myself
