[edit] Citations!
Could someone provide a citation for this paragraph:
"Rivers Cuomo is known for wearing thick-rimmed glasses, as did Buddy Holly. Weezer is often considered to be pioneers of fashion in the Emo subculture, as one of its standards is the wearing of square glasses like Cuomo's. Ironically, Cuomo was not wearing his signature glasses in the video for the song. Weezer also inspired a small flourish of 'geek chic' fashion, making it popular to wear articles of clothing usually associated with geekdom, such as sweater vests."
Last I checked, Weezer was definitely not an emo band. Even if square glasses are part of the emo style, where is the proof that they were inspired by Rivers? Sounds kind of fishy to me; someone please cite this! --Thebends 22:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I agree. This does not seem entirely true. - sidewinder
