I first heard them:
on the radio, when that song about the sweater became a big thing
Sound:
Oh, I dunno.
They seemed like pretty standard alt-rock, perhaps with a bit of a
nerdy bent, when their first album was generating a bunch of
singles.
Then I lost track of them.
When I moved in the mid-’00s to a metro area with a modern rock
station I heard “Hash Pipe” and thought that its heavier
sound was awesome even as its lyrics were pretty bad.
But the other contemporaneous Weezer stuff I heard did not mine the
same musical vein, and I don’t know what they sound like now.
Further listening:
The one track I have for you has less to do with Weezer than with
the songwriters and Hayley Williams, but I can’t not include
this:
