Writer Alexis Wilkinson describes Rivers Cuomo, lead vocalist, lead guitarist and songwriter of Weezer, as the Peter Pan of social media – someone who still seems to blend his childhood self and adulthood with a perfect balance.

Cuomo — both on social media and in reality — does not seem to be a man-child in this traditional sense. He has a grown-up life. He has children. He works hard, having released a 2014 album with Weezer that was well received by critics. He isn’t dragged down by drug use or other criminal drama, nor does he constantly chase women 20 years younger in a public and embarrassing way. He’s just…consistently angsty. Or at least he has constructed his entire social-media presence to suggest as much.

When I first started following him on Twitter, I was shocked to discover that instead of finding an older, wiser, perhaps more boring version of the rock icon I loved, I had stumbled upon a social-media Peter Pan. But after that shock and confusion slowly unraveled like the sweater of Weezer's "Undone," I realized that for a celebrity from my adolescence, this was perhaps the best of all possible worlds.
