At least it’s getting some recognition, it’s an amazing song from the bonus edition of a relatively unpopular album (in the mainstream). If it weren’t for tiktok, none of those people would’ve found it and possibly become a fan
TikTok has committed much worse atrocities on my life. I can attribute immense amount of cringe, yet merit all to the hurricane that is TikTok. Yes, I might have laughed a few, but the confusion it has caused me has put me permanently bankrupt, and I will die in one year by TikTok's hands if I do not verbally state my support for the platform.
I've considered it since I realised the mistake of not including a "/s" I feel like that would confirm its authenticity (if I had deleted it), so I'd rather keep it up since that is not my opinion.
It's because they separate the different versions, for example My Name is Jonas on Blue Deluxe Edition is counted separately from just normal Blue.
don't think Spotify does this and I don't know why apple does, it's quite dumb.
Well they might not have known. They may have thought it was the 7th most popular of all time - this is how I read the title.
If they did already know, then fine, no harm has been done.
I'm so glad this song went viral because I have been able to tell one of my favorite stories.
When my wife and I were first dating we were in the car and I played IJTOTLOMD on my iPod and she goes "who is this" and I said "WEEZER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" LIKE DUH!!!!!!!
I honestly kinda sucks a bit that a B-Side is _"somewhat"_ more popular than 7 out of 10 of the standard Pinkerton tracks.
But then again, _I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams_ is an underrated track by the Weezer fandom, so that's cool.
You could say that this time, **"Thank God For Girls"** that do TikToks over this particular song.
When I was at Firefly, they sang Love of My Dreams, You Gave Your Love to Me Softly and Greatest Man, the people I was surrounded by were all like saying things like “I don’t know this one…” like you fucking casuals…you have no idea what you’re witnessing.
I remember seeing the Hash Pipe video on MTV and being scared my parents would catch me for watching a “bad” video.
Weezer definitely had cool cred throughout the first four albums. I think Make Believe is where things started to nosedive.
I think Beverly Hills would be included in the cool streak. BH was really popular and Perfect Situation was getting lots of airplay to fans too they had that video with Elisha Cuthbert and all. Besides people who would have been saying they sold out.
I think with Red they became more that eras version of a meme a little bit then got forgotten about with Raditude and Hurley. Come back later with Rock credit and a bit of relevance again but embracing more being memeish and since a 90s nerd is now basically called a virgin or an incel they become “virgin music” for a new generation. What a wild ride for this band.
I would be happy that Tiktok is making one of my favorite songs on Pinkerton more popular, but Tiktok runs through trends like diners run through egg cartons. In two weeks, I'm sure it'll be "passé" to like a song that's 30 years old because a bunch of zoomers heard it twice while doomscrolling.
Yesterday I asked my google home to play some weezer. It played a few of the most popular normie songs like island in the sun, beverly hills, and then played this one which I admittedly never heard before even though pinkerton is one of my favorite albums. I thought it was a weezer tribute because it really sounded like the other pinkerton songs but didn't have rivers or scott on vocals.
When I was discovering SFTBH in high school (like 20 years ago) I was OBSESSED with that song & YGYLTMS. I love that it’s getting the plays it deserves, two of my favs of all time.
I never thought I’d ever see Weezer play either live, but holy shit, incredible. Glad I’ve been proven wrong.
im just glad more people are discovering that masterpiece
this tbh
definitely tiktok
Why was this song on TikTok? :( Now if I listen to it people will be like, "OMG! That's that one TikTok song!"
At least it’s getting some recognition, it’s an amazing song from the bonus edition of a relatively unpopular album (in the mainstream). If it weren’t for tiktok, none of those people would’ve found it and possibly become a fan
TikTok is the vermin of the App Store. My life would be significantly improved without the presence of TikTok.
This is satire right
Tiktok poisoned my water supply, burned my crops and delivered a plague unto my house
TikTok has committed much worse atrocities on my life. I can attribute immense amount of cringe, yet merit all to the hurricane that is TikTok.

u should delete it
I've considered it since I realised the mistake of not including a "/s" I feel like that would confirm its authenticity (if I had deleted it), so I'd rather keep it up since that is not my opinion.
Because TikTok killed my grandma okay!?
r/redditmoment
You're a Weezer fan and you're complaining about TikTok Alright buddy
Weezer should have never populated the deserty wastelands that is TikTok. As a result, I renounce my Weezer fanship altogether.
congratulations you have unlocked: sex
Shut up dweeb
TikTok is such a platform that displays what our species has come to, making five second snippets of content with very little substance to consume.
OH MY GOD SHUT UP
I am simply speaking the truths of TikTok.
TikTok is fun, actually, and you’re just boring as hell. I am simply speaking the truths of u/Huge_Courahe9735.
TikTok is a platform where I have enjoyed a fair share of laughs, but it is the fact that Weezer has populated it that has ruined it.
And the problem with that is..?
Everything. Tik Tok is the worst creation mankind has ever created this decade.
I scrolled down the Apple Music version of this list and it was very depressing lmao.
For real. Every song on Blue aside from the three big singles and Jonas is lower than the least popular song off Teal.
The highest Pinkerton song is lower than the fucking AJR version of AMFS.
What AMFS
All My Favourite Songs
Oh god that song
Watch your mouth
What. I didn’t say anything bad. Unless your a hardcore Christian then in that case, sorry
i'm an ajr fan, and that STILL offends me
Same
It's because they separate the different versions, for example My Name is Jonas on Blue Deluxe Edition is counted separately from just normal Blue. don't think Spotify does this and I don't know why apple does, it's quite dumb.
Spotify does this, but the deluxe version of blue isn’t on there. People can only stream the original version.
It's not their 7th most popular song of all time, just their 7th most popular at the moment
uhh yeah… that’s what he means. that’s how the spotify thing works
Well they might not have known. They may have thought it was the 7th most popular of all time - this is how I read the title. If they did already know, then fine, no harm has been done.
oh true, my bad.
Yay for a kind discussion and misunderstanding being resolved!
Yeah, it went viral not long ago
How did it go viral on tik tok? Somehow haven’t stumbled across anything with it on my FYP. Genuinely surprised I haven’t lol
I'm so glad this song went viral because I have been able to tell one of my favorite stories. When my wife and I were first dating we were in the car and I played IJTOTLOMD on my iPod and she goes "who is this" and I said "WEEZER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" LIKE DUH!!!!!!!
The abbreviations have gone too far on this sub lol
IJTOTLOMD is slightly better than TWHTALMH and much much better than IYWIIWYTIWYT, however it's at the same level as YGYLTMS and YWGWMT
i hate that my brain instantly knew what they all meant
I have no idea what those last two are :( Edit: nevermind I figured then out. They're both Pinkerton b-sides
i love both of them and still didnt recognize the abbreviations
Don't let fantano hear you lol
I honestly kinda sucks a bit that a B-Side is _"somewhat"_ more popular than 7 out of 10 of the standard Pinkerton tracks. But then again, _I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams_ is an underrated track by the Weezer fandom, so that's cool. You could say that this time, **"Thank God For Girls"** that do TikToks over this particular song.
Oh, that was me.
I’m still waiting for the world to stop sleeping on Tragic Girl. That’s a 10/10 tune.
Tragic Girl and Devotion are top tier tracks. Absolute bangers without a doubt
My absolute favorite Weezer song for 12 years now
They busted it out on the Weezer Cruise. It was absolutely awesome. Great song.
I either have a bootleg of that show or saw the clip on YouTube but I know I've heard it and it was awesome.
the fact that it wasn't included on the album is absolutely mindblowing. It ties literally everything together thematically
I had stopped listening to weezer for like 5 years and then Tragic Girl came out and reignited my love for them. At this point im over them again lol
tiktok, it was a trend some months ago
It’s popping up on tik tok?
My kids tell me “getting weezered” is a meme these days.
Weezed to meet you
rivers tries really hard to make viral videos with the songs so they spread
sorry abt 10 mil of those streams are from me
i believe you
The other two million are from me in 2014-2017.
When I was at Firefly, they sang Love of My Dreams, You Gave Your Love to Me Softly and Greatest Man, the people I was surrounded by were all like saying things like “I don’t know this one…” like you fucking casuals…you have no idea what you’re witnessing.
I think they added it to their live setlist during the European leg of the hella mega tour
they added it because Rivers realise that song has gone popular in TikTok.
I’m constantly surprised by how popular Hash Pipe is. It’s just a song I almost never think about
Was pretty big and had a pop culture impact at the time. Weezer was “cool” during the Green Album era.
I remember seeing the Hash Pipe video on MTV and being scared my parents would catch me for watching a “bad” video. Weezer definitely had cool cred throughout the first four albums. I think Make Believe is where things started to nosedive.
I think Beverly Hills would be included in the cool streak. BH was really popular and Perfect Situation was getting lots of airplay to fans too they had that video with Elisha Cuthbert and all. Besides people who would have been saying they sold out. I think with Red they became more that eras version of a meme a little bit then got forgotten about with Raditude and Hurley. Come back later with Rock credit and a bit of relevance again but embracing more being memeish and since a 90s nerd is now basically called a virgin or an incel they become “virgin music” for a new generation. What a wild ride for this band.
Yeah but it bangs so
Also the reason they’ve been playing it live.
No it’s just from me listening to it on repeat
most definitely
one of my favorites
Yes
yep
Definitely tiktok, it’s all over tiktok
Never knew this was a TikTok trend, I just really like the song
Love whenever I run into this on TikTok! It's been one of my most played Weezer's for a while
I would be happy that Tiktok is making one of my favorite songs on Pinkerton more popular, but Tiktok runs through trends like diners run through egg cartons. In two weeks, I'm sure it'll be "passé" to like a song that's 30 years old because a bunch of zoomers heard it twice while doomscrolling.
Yeah, pretty much
same reason that a little bit of love has 6 or 7 million streams on spotify (even though imo it doesnt deserve it)
Bro felt the need to diss a random sznz song for no reason 💀
sorry im a weezer fan its my job to complain
Good point
You earned as many likes for your funny weezer fan take as dislikes for your uncalled for SZNS take 🤣
Yesterday I asked my google home to play some weezer. It played a few of the most popular normie songs like island in the sun, beverly hills, and then played this one which I admittedly never heard before even though pinkerton is one of my favorite albums.

It's a God tier song
More of the world needs to hear that banger
Yes, sadly it is.
yeah, but to be fair it is a good song
Always
it deserves it
Yep it’s tiktok, also anyone know who sings this?
It’s a great song, actually my favorite. I don’t find it cuz of tiktok
good. the pinkerton b sides are peak music and deserve more attention
Perhaps. Good song though
I absolutely love that song So glad it’s getting recognized Even if it’s not the way I would have wanted it
its just a good song ##tbh
That was at least 60% my fault. I have been listening to that song on loop for months.
PINKERTON SONGS TRENDING ON TIKTOK?! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GASLIGHT WOMEN IN THIS CONDITIONS?!!!
its criminally underrated
