Why do people still talk about The Strokes and treat them like they're relevant when they're in the same category as Hot Chip, The Rapture, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Broken Social Scene, Wolf Parade, TV On the Radio, Wilco, The New Pornographers, ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail is Dead, Kings of Leon, The Hives, and The Vines as an "early 2000s overhyped band that has maybe 2 or 3 good songs but is irrelevant now and should not be talked about."?
The amount of people who care about a new Strokes album is mind boggling.
Alexander Rivera
The most influential band of this century.
For better or for worse.
Jackson Stewart
>what is radiohead
Luis Peterson
Everybody in the band is like-able and interesting. The dynamic of the group in performances and as a group to look up to is just god damn crazy. I only wish to be as cool as Nick someday.
Wyatt Martin
cookie mountain and twin cinema are good albums ya cunt
Jacob Hill
You're saying this like you and the entirety of Sup Forums don't listen almost exclusively to irrelevant music
Jason Bennett
This
Now fuck off
Evan Smith
they made one or two good albums tho. and they brought back that cool televsion/the doors/velvet undeground new york thing.
Carter Evans
probably because they made the best album out of all those bands, an album that has had immense staying power.
Camden Jackson
>doors
Jackson Nelson
a shitty band
Juan Gutierrez
are you trying to say the vocalist in the doors is not cool? idc what you think of the music
Thomas Fisher
Why is she touching her knee?
Brody Campbell
cause they're great.
Juan Turner
maybe because they literally made the most influential album of the 2000s?
Thomas Flores
I don't really care for the Strokes in general but Someday is so fucking great. Is Is This It their only good album?
Luis Morgan
nope, their other stuff is pretty good too
Michael Lopez
It's an ass
Brayden Allen
someday
Brayden Diaz
>Broken Social Scene >maybe 2 or 3 good songs [...] and should not be talked about >:(
Caleb Allen
It's by far their best album. Room on Fire is good as well, other stuff is anywhere from bad to okay.
James Johnson
it's bait silly
Angel Rodriguez
>she
Anthony Gonzalez
...
Dylan Long
>Wilco Why do people think YHF is the only thing they've ever done?
Julian Cook
>likes the strokes >says radiohead is a shitty band
is this allowed?
Aaron Miller
I AIN'T WASTING NO MORE TIME
Lucas Robinson
>the best album out of all those bands lmao what the fuck. As if
I have no idea why half this website loves to jerk it to The Strokes like there's no tomorrow. Julian Casablancas fucking outright said he lifted their sound from Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground. It's just a decades-old unoriginal sound set to some nice pop songs.
Matthew Hernandez
>unoriginal music can't be good
their sound is called garage rock _revival_ for a reason, user. it's still dope as fuck
Asher Bailey
They were the first indie industry plant band, they'd probably be even bigger if they came out today cause you got shit like carseat fagfest being labelled as anything but mediocre trash
Robert Diaz
they weren't an industry plant, just rich and with connections
Angel Clark
Same thing basically, their rich daddies paid for all the glowing reviews
Dylan Phillips
>some nice pop songs try a collection of the best pop songs ever written
Luke Jenkins
I need someone to describe to me whether or not they're good, i used to know someone who would never shut the fuck about about The Strokes and the members of the band and how much she loved them.
Bottom line is, I've had this band ruined for me before i ever got to try them.
Easton Gomez
just look up an album and listen through like it's just another band. Is This It sparked my interest immediately
Juan Allen
I feel like I was like this with my ex.
Give them a chance, they're pretty good
Thomas Morgan
they are excellent. the majority of their output is vastly underrated.
Luke White
Completely forgettable band still living off the hype of an overrated first album
Brody Cook
So far it's been pretty good listening, only issue i'm having is being reminded of what's her face, which is pissing me off as i try to enjoy this.
Thanks for getting me to try them guys. As for you user no.4, we'll see about their other stuff and the rest of this album.
James Roberts
The Doors are a quintessential LA band and sound nothing like the Strokes. Television and VU sure
Jacob Ortiz
Most people who like The Strokes have never really listened to any non-popular music. They're the same people who think they're hipsters for liking Arcade Fire.
Lincoln Long
i listen to musique concrete on a daily basis and the strokes are one of my favorite bands
