"Gold" and the Unconventional Color Album Cover

What do you think is the symbolism for the cover of Weezer's latest color album being unconventional? I get that they are still the symbols on the record, but I meant what does this change in a long, long tradition really represent for Weezer?

And marketing this as the Gold album is honestly daring, since, if there are any, the next color albums after this have to top Gold, and most importantly, these songs should be hella perfect.

In short, what do you think the nonstandard self-titled cover and the highly coveted title of Gold mean for this era of Weezer and into the future?

LibreWolf and Many Extensions - Am I Defeating the Purpose?

Am I defeating the purpose of using LibreWolf with many extensions? Is it that much risk of privacy? I mean I'm not the biggest on resisting fingerprinting, but I just wanted to ask if it was outright useless if I used a bunch of extensions on LW that I'd be better of going back to say, Firefox.

The reason I still customize LibreWolf with my extensions,

uBlock Origin, Dark Reader (this is a BIG one for you RFP fellas), a couple of YouTube extensions (SponsorBlock, Enhancer, Return YouTube Dislike), Bitwarden, and my ultra niche extension, Better AOTY

is because I, again, I'm not to crazy on the whole fingerprinting thing, but, at least in the way I use LW, is like a de-bloated Firefox. If I wanted to use something that was anti-fingerprinting and was meant to be unchanged, I'd be using something like Mullvad.

Y'know what else is peak writing? "Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
