I'm convinced it's the Weezer blue album that inspired the whole emo genre. Kinda like the velvet underground is argued they are a the grandfathers of punk.

If you were over 11 in 1995 and you didn't have the Blue Album, you were lost. I'm sure there was more than 1 influence like every genre, but that album was one of them.
