If You’re a Child of the 90s, This is Gonna Hurt: Weezer’s Blue Album Turns 20 Today

It was May 10, 1994. Weezer wasn’t even close to be ing a grunge band, but the grunge boom allowed groups like them to bleed through into the mainstream.

Their self-titled debut album–the so-called Blue album–is now an alt-rock classic, thanks in large part to the Happy Days-themed “Buddy Holly” directed by Spike Jonze.
