This song relates to Weezer's past three albums, where they have changed their sound to try to get more appeal with non-Weezer fans. The music became mass-produced, and now Rivers is done. He realizes that he doesn't need the approval of the faceless masses who have ended up listening to this mass-produced music. He realizes this because the people who had been Weezer fans from the beginning have stopped listening to his music since it became what it was.
