sep 24, 1996 - Weezer releases "Pinkerton".
Description:
What initially started as a flop, the album Pinkerton gained popularity with young people first discovering alternative music and rose to its status mainly because of word-of-mouth and Napster. "Although no one was paying attention, perhaps /because/ no one was paying attention—Pinkerton became the most important emo album of the decade," writes Andy Greenwald, author of "Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo".Added to timeline:
