A band that is not and cannot be "emo." "Emo" is a word created to further the delineation of all music into tiny, highly-specified categories. It is a false label, much as "grunge" was in the early 1990's. Moreover, it is a recent term, new within the past year or two, while Weezer's Blue Album was released in 1994, quite a long time before some recording industry advertising hack created the term "emo." Weezer, having predated "emo" by a number of years, cannot therefore be "emo."
Weezer plays rock music, much the same as most all other "emo," "punk," "metal," etc. bands.

A band that sings about many issues in life and doesn't care about what the critics say.

A true ROCK band.

One of the very FEW bands that high schoolers and college students listen to and can actually relate to, unlike many new wave emo bands that have exploded onto the scene.

Weezer sings with emotion but doesn't use it as a selling point.

If a weezer song is covered during some coffee shop band's performance, people get nostalgic and start cheering them on, that shows how great of a band Weezer was. I mean if Taking Back Sunday was played during a cover concert, i would find it hard to reveal that i would actually know the song being played.
After (insert most boring class here) stacy went up to her room, and put on some Weezer, while her good for nothing boyfriend calls about how much he misses her.

Weezer are sort of a nerd rock band... but the thing is that they have created their own mixed genre with a bit of everything. Everything to do with the Weez should be based around Blue and Pinkerton, 2 of my favourite albums ever.
They did OK with their latest three albums, Green, Maladroit, and Make Believe but have evidently deteirated over time.
I like their early lyrics and melodies... and the best song is probably... eughh... no, I can't decide.
Weezer pwn yoose. OK?
