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, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Broken Social Scene, Wolf Parade, TV On the Radio, Wilco, The Fiery Furnaces, 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.

people still talk about those bands you listed

Wilco is better than the other bands you mentioned but you're right they are not relevant

No they don't.

because the album you posted is more relevant than any album any of those bands ever made

>Not mentioning White Stripes

So Jack White wins?

The Hives might be irrelevant but they have way more than 2 or 3 good songs

I'm still mad they couldn't save rock and roll. The world is too shitty

YEAHHHHHHHHHH THE NIGHT'S NOT OVER YOU'RE NOT

Oblivius 9/10

Drag Queen 7/10

Threat of Joy 8.5/10

why do you hate music? go away

Reminder that every one of those bands is better than kanye and the meme rap that is popular now

So I heard some of Casablancas's show on XMU this week. Does he always talk like batman?

I'm pretty sure Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is more relevant that Is This It. If we're focusing exclusively on "indeh" then You Forgot It In People, Mass Romantic, and Return to Cookie Mountain are probably more relevant too.

There a link to this?

>I'm pretty sure Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is more relevant that Is This It
I'd say they are pretty close

I just heard it driving home from work the other day
I am sure that if you have an XM online subscription you can get it online, otherwise I doubt it

people talked about bloc party's latest album, hot chip's latest got a decent amount of attention, franz ferdinand are still remembered even if no one cares anymore, this board still likes broken social scene and wilco

Why do people still talk about Godspeed You! Black Emperor and treat them like they're relevant when they're in the same category as Kraftwerk, King Crimson, Animal Collective, Merzbow, Franz Ferdinand, Isis, The Rolling Stones, LCD Soundsystem, Super Eurobeat, Phoenix, Grimes, Deepchord Presents: Echospace Liumin Liumin Reduced, Metallica, Death Grips, and At the Drive-In as an "what the fuck did you just fucking say about karen O, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the navy seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on al-quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills..."?

The amount of people who care about a new Daft Punk live album is mind boggling.

I remember reading that Kurt Loder thought Hate to Say I Told You So was going to have the same effect Smells Like Teen Spirit had.

>cant tell if you like gsybe or not...

kek

Was the guy from The Vines autistic?

Asperger's.

Great OC, fellow poster. Mind if I save this?

Arguably still relevant, Seven nation army is endlessly relevant, and his solo career has had a couple of hits. He's basically elder statesman status now.

>he thinks we should only talk about ''relevant" music

Who the fuck cares about relevance

Because the strokes are better than every other band you mentioned.

BECAUSE MUSIC IS FUCKING SUBJECTIVE. PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES. THERE IS CLOSE TO NO OBJECTIVITY IN MUSIC.

>you will never have a band as cool as the strokes

Like are you really unrating is this it? You realise the strokes are more popular than all of those bands, and is this it is considered the staple of the indie rock scene.

I know like wishful thinking makes you think wilco and whatever is more relevant, but they're really not.

Thumbs up to user. Can't understand what the point of complaining on Sup Forums is

Why was rock music so experimental and bland in the 2000s? It's like all those bands just tried to be as normal as possible? What's the appeal?
