While the band hails from Long Island, their touring circuit throughout the early 2000s frequently ran through the Garden State \u2014 Asbury Park venues, New Brunswick bars, Shore clubs, college shows.<\/p>\n<p>Those shows helped build a steady NJ fan base, one that stuck with them long after the early-2000s alt-rock wave shifted. For some people in the crowd, seeing Peter pulled up at a local gig felt like a small reminder of that history, and the band was definitely excited to welcome him up themseles.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes at a recent moment when \u201cTeenage Dirtbag\u201d has re-entered the chat: starting around 2021\u20132022, the song had a full-on resurgence on social media, especially TikTok. Users began pairing it with throwback photos, awkward teenage snapshots, emo-phase montages, and nostalgic posts that spoke directly to the misfit energy of the original track. Celebrities joined in, and the trend snowballed.\u00a0This revival introduced Wheatus to an entirely new generation, many discovering the band for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>A drummer from a band experiencing a twenty-year-later comeback being recognized at a local Jersey Shore spot = perfect way to spend post-Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music FunIt&#8217;s become a trend at the Jersey Shore&#8230; you never know who is in the audience at the bar you&#8217;re playing&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":227763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[8821,9479,764,9801,9660,8824,9640,9593],"tags":[9707,9755],"class_list":["post-227762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bars","category-local-events-news","category-food-drink","category-lbi","category-news","category-restaurants","category-jersey-shore-towns","category-local-girl-rss-feed","tag-news","tag-tlg"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
