Weezer turned this way because no one at the time understood how good was Pinkerton.
After the cold general reaction he would probably have thought that to go on that way was meaningless and only stupid stuff could be appreciated. Why to put so much effort and emotions if your most commercially successful song becomes Beverly Hills (that I love, eheh)?
Everyone now think it's cool to write about very personal situations in life, see the Arctic Monkeys' debut, but when the precursor tried it it took years to get the deserved reaction.
