Lots of people bought it cause the album cover was like Jocks playing Sports which make the band look Cool by association.

Also the band name associates him the Liberal Arts. He basically couldn't Lose. The Parker Lewis of his day.

Most rock music is Loser- or Scumbag-coded. Making explicitly Jock-coded rock was a brilliant innovation imho. Having it be slightly tongue-in-cheek (“The News”) was necessary for the Losers who Gatekeep. Like whoever tapped Huey for Back to the Future was probably a Loser who wished he were a chill-bro Jock.

yeah it's pretty shrewd. Losers/Scum have like 8,000k bands to choose from. Preps can kind of just nod along to Taylor Swift or Dave Matthews or whatever. It's a much Shorter list. Huey was shrewd to capitalize on it.

Yeah. Even Nerds have Rush, King Crimson, etc. What do Jocks have? Huey even got the look down, he dressed like an 80s MLB player who recently retired. Like if Steve Garvey started a rock band.

Hootie did this in the 90s (remember that video with all the SportsCenter stuff) and I’m convinced that was what caused their huge popularity.
