    What stage of capitalism is this?

    I’m finding it more and more difficult to keep track these days.

      It’s the acceptance stage.

    I would be upset if I paid for an ad. I would probably stop being a fan.

      I would buy drinks just to throw at them. Like a lot of drinks.

    You could tell they’d sold out to Audible when “Grapes of Wrath” came out.

    “Weezer is a shitty corporate sell-out band” hasn’t been breaking news in like three decades. Their music video for Buddy Holly came on the Windows 95 installation disc for God’s sake

      It was the only video you could watch without buffering for days with the shitty dial up internet of the time. OH OH AND YOU’RE MARY TYLER MOORE. Fucking kill me.

        I was amazed that the Windows 95 stock Media Player could minimize video to a 32x32 icon at full speed! I played it on loop for hours.

      Worse is Audible is about to put ads in their books. Which is bullshit if I pay for a book no way should they be allowed to add ads into my books.

      They’re indestructible because they are vegan too

        Hopefully they remember that chicken parmesan isn’t vegan.

    FYI this is the song

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also doesn’t seem like it was paid placement

      IMO there is no way a musician name drops a product without collecting a bag. The interview with Amazon would also have cost them money to make happen.

      Weezer would need to be astonishingly naive to write the song before the agreement was reached with Amazon. Also other comments in this thread detail their past record of selling out.

      I listen to quite a lot of hip-hop and there were a couple of years about a decade ago where almost every artist had a lyric about uber.

    My friend went to a Weezer concert recently, he said there weren’t any ads pushed.
