Does Weezer make music today for their own enjoyment, ours, or both?

Whether the music is good or not, I personally think they do it for the money now a days.

And since many people wanted to go to it, weezer knew that they would make loads of money.

The Memories Tour was done because so many fans wanted to hear those two albums in their enirety, especially Pinkerton, which had never been done before.

oh weezer is most definitely a business. rivers' actions at this point are first and foremost about money, not fan loyalty. the memories tour was not done because they care about the fans.

Alright, so we can agree that it was a combination of both.

If they didn't approach this as a business, then they'd be out on the street corner busking and have everyone's utmost contempt and/or pity. And their kids would probably be on welfare.
