** If you think of two characters simply emulating (or even cosplaying) their respective favorite pop icons, not giving a damn about anachronisms ''or'' people dissing them for doing so, it works.

* Furthermore, why aren't their self-titled albums just referred to "Blue album" "green album" "Red album" "white album", "Teal Album" and "black album", I know that wasn't their plan originally, (green was self titled cause it was meant as a soft reboot) but why didn't they just legally refer to them as "(color) album" after red and legally refer to green and blue as that for re-issues. Sure, only the most casual of music fans actually refers to any of them as just "Weezer" but why not just avoid any confusion and make the colors the albums' legal names, especially if two of them are gonna be released in the same year

** Songs like "Slob" and "Slave" indicate a messy life for the singer- It was also a particularly turbulent time in the band's lifespan, with then newbie Scott Shriner expected to be a temp for Mikey Welsh, and struggling with Geffen over releasing demos online. The album also has a slightly more raw, unpolished feel than ''The Green Album'',

** It could just be a gratuitous TakeThat, to either Disney Channel movies or music-based "talent search" shows like ''Series/AmericanIdol''. But if there is a direct line to the song's theme of getting back to their roots, it's that they let the popularity of these shows get to them and start feeling their original AlternativeRock sound was irrelevant and needed changing. They're going to "turn off" "singing shows" as in stop trying to emulate them, and "turn up the radio" because rock can still be heard on that medium.
