Weezer's 'C.E.O.' Video: A Nod to 'Undone - The Sweater Song'

The Rivers Cuomo-fronted band Weezer has unveiled a subversive new music video for "C.E.O.," a track from their upcoming twentieth studio album. Directed by Brendan Walter and Jasper Graham, the visual artfully satirizes the pressure to create content that satisfies popular demand rather than artistic merit. This new video cleverly functions as a thematic sequel to Weezer's acclaimed 1994 "Undone - The Sweater Song" music video, originally directed by Spike Jonze.

The "C.E.O." video delves into the lyrical ponderings of Rivers Cuomo regarding the often stifling obligation to cater to audiences. It features appearances by actors Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Giovanni Ribisi, adding layers to the band's commentary on artistic compromise versus genuine creative expression.
