When people ask if I really like Weezer or if it's just a joke, I always say yes, I do love them and it's not a joke. And when they ask why, I always point to the Jakarta and Bali tour they did in 2022 as why
Whether or not I love Weezer, I've always had a deep respect for artists who learn the native language of the countries they're visiting to be more inclusive with the people who can't speak English
I liked Weezer a normal amount back then, but after finding out Rivers took the time to learn how to speak Indonesian when they toured Jakarta and Bali (and even covered a very popular Indonesian song in the language with near perfect pronounciation), Weezer became my new favourite band! I love their songs, they're great (especially the Red Album and EWBAITE) but also I love when artists take the extra effort to learn about the places they're about to visit to make their shows even more memorable to the people in there! And I think that's why Weezer is a lot more special to me than any other bands I'm currently into :)

Rivers would do this to every other non-English speaking countries they're touring in too!#I'm currently watching their Rio tour and he was speaking Portuguese (for a little bit)#Makes me love them even more!#Rivers speaking Indonesian is still stuck in my head to this day and I'll never forget it. And he did it so well too!#Rivers Cuomo you will always be my favourite
