Later that same year, Cuomo enrolled in Harvard University and attended, but dropped out prior to graduating. Weezer's second album, "Pinkerton" was released in 1996. In 1997, Cuomo also performed with the band Homie, in Boston. Cuomo changed his songwriting approach and began writing less personal lyrics.
