From a mainstream perspective they are. I’m a big Dino fan, but when I wear my shirt, most people say, “What’s that?”
Edit: I mean in notoriety. I like Weezer, but Dinosaur Jr. beats them everyday for me. Now, last time I saw Weezer in concert though, they were a hell of a lot of fun.

Totally agreed!
And other than people who know me, I've always gotten the same response anytime I wear a Dinosaur or J Mascis t-shirt. I think maybe only once did someone say, "Oh cool, Dinosaur Jr!"

Now the one time I got a random, “Love that shirt!” was when I was doing car rider at my school. One of the dads was a former rocker from Massachusetts, and he rolled the window down to admire my purple cow shirt. I always wear it on pajama day. It seems to fit!

Very cool! And seeing as the dad is from Mass., that makes some good sense!

I cannot imagine Dino doing the 35 minute doors open set.
I haven't really listened to either Weezer or the Flaming Lips. But Weezer are opening for Smashing Pumpkins soon and I am looking forward to seeing/hearing them then.
That's very cool! Dinosaur Jr. live is spectacular. They are one of those bands that, as good as the boots or live recordings are, must be experienced first hand to fully understand. The vibe, energy and crushing SPLs just don't translate to recorded media.
It's really great that they're doing this!
