* [[First Installment Wins|First And Second Installments Win]]
* [[Epic Riff]]: "My Name is Jonas", "Island In The Sun", "Undone (The Sweater Song)", "Only In Dreams", "Tired Of Sex", "Say It Ain't So"
* [[Flanderization]]: The chief criticism directed at Weezer's albums after ''Pinkerton'' (especially ''Green'', ''Maladroit'' and ''Make Believe'') is that Rivers Cuomo "dumbed down" his songwriting to a [[Strictly Formula]] process after the more ambitious ''Pinkerton'' completely tanked. This [https://web.archive.org/web/20111120215345/http://tvs.soymilkrevolution.com/?p=910 three]-[https://web.archive.org/web/20111121045845/http://tvs.soymilkrevolution.com/?p=940 part] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111121045917/http://tvs.soymilkrevolution.com/?p=954 essay] elaborates on that theory.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: The B-side "Mykel and Carli" is named after two girls who befriended the band and ran Weezer's fan club. The once bittersweet song became a pure [[Tear Jerker]] after they died in a car crash (as the lyrics contain the lines ''Then the schoolbus came/Took my friends away'').
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: While trying to interact with fans during the ''Maladroit'' sessions, Cuomo had an infamous outburst when he described the universally acclaimed "Only in Dreams" as "GAY! GAY! DISNEY GAY!". Since then, Weezer fans sometimes use the term "Disney gay" to either disparage latter-day songs they consider "cheesy" or to sarcastically admit they like a song.
