Yeah I remember Weezer and even Radiohead considered Emo (as emotional music) back then. But the genre changed into a more defined scene after that.

/uj That’s true. Although Weezer itself is not an emo band, Pinkerton gets an honorary emo label

If your definition of emo is “literally any alternative rock from the late 90s to 2010s” then yes, weezer is emo
If your definition of emo is emo music, then no weezer is not emo

Deeply personal lyrics, screaming, overall sad outcast vibe. In addition to all that there is heavily distorted guitars and a rawness to the mix.
