FUCK THE STROKES

They're a piece of shit band. I used to think pic related was a 10/10 and that they were an overall good band but in my natural transition to patricianhood that comes with listening to more music I've realized they're total ripoffs.
Here are the following list of artists where they ripped their style off:
>Buzzcocks
>The Velvet Underground
>Lou Reed
>Television
>The Modern Lovers
>The Cars
Now for pic related, here are songs that are obvious rip-offs from other songs (some of them even got confirmed by Julian):
>TVU - I'm Waiting For My Man (The Modern Age)
>Pixies - Where Is My Mind? (Is This It)
>Buzzcocks - Everybody's Happy Nowadays (Someday)
>TVU - Lisa Says (Is This It)
>Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - American Girl (Someday)
>TVU - I Found A Reason (Is This It)
>TVU - Rock & Roll (When It Started)

Also they've pretty much admitted all the basslines in this album are stolen from the Cure. Fucking talentless hacks.

everyone rips off other people in music

OP are you ok? do u need a hug

Incorrect

well duh, you do realise Julian's dad basically bought their fans?

Who didn't?

Inspired by =\= ripp off

Well crafted music is well crafted music and o would more than say they do their influences justice. Not that you have to like their music, I just think that calling it a bad album is quite the exaggeration.

So black people can get away with """sampling""" but white people can't get away with inspiration from other artists? Fuck off OP.

you are correct the strokes are overrated garbage
they ruined rock music and fed it to a bunch mom jeans Dr. Martens shoes wearing faggots
nope both suck ass

exactly this, except the music is completely uninspired, it's basic pop melodies written "in the style" of their so-called inspirations. Fair enough if you like it but as a whole it is almost completely undeserving of any genuine praise it gets.

Blacks are equal to whites

OP you are a turbo pleb

There is no new sounds to make, everything new is a mix of old stuff with diferent flavors. Dont become a cinical hipster just because you are listening to more music now, its suposed to wide your mind, not narrow it.

>everything new is a mix of old stuff with diferent flavors
thats still new sounds you dumb fuck

>There is no new sounds to make

Your mom makes new sounds every time I fuck her

Frist off thanks for having an actual conversation about it, too many people on mu just disregard others opinions. I can understand why you might feel that way and I can definitely see where you are coming from. That being said this album really shines in its ability to revamp a classic sound by bringing modern production and influence. It totally breathed new life into the genre and did it with a lot of class, style, and skill. It's like a great remake of an old favorite movie you know?

>It totally breathed new life into the genre and did it with a lot of class, style, and skill.
where's this new life besides the strokes
I don't see it

Yeah sure, go outside and say out loud that you are proud to be white and you'll see how "equal" black and white people are nowadays.

Hey different Strokes for different folks, right?

that doesn't answer my question
where is the new life they put into the genre
i want band names

Same goes for you buddy, but I just disagree. It all sounds kind of hollow and lacks the brilliant songwriting and the grainy charm that TVU and Television had, which is an enormous part of their influence. I don't think I'd like heroin half as much if it wasn't for little details like the crackle in the sound when Lou laughs. It's like The Force Awakens Vs A New Hope, for all the formers shiny finish and skilled ensemble, it still feels like a far cry from what made the original so great.

Are you kidding? There's so much garage/post-punk revival between then and now, White Stripes, The Vines, The Hives, Franz Ferdinand, Viet Cong, Arctic Monkeys, The Horrors, Liars to name just a few.

Liars, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, White Stripes, Interpol, Bloc Party, The Killers, The libertines, The Hives, LCD Soundsystem, DFA 1979 etc.

Now obviously they didn't inspire all of them, and some of them suck. But to say the the Strokes didn't open the door for these bands to be successful is ignorant. That being said it also doesn't mean the movement was good, just significant.

is this bait?
all of those are average bands
they don't even compare to quality of rock we got from the 60s to 90s

Residents, but other than that you're completely correct user

Modern rock for the most part is shit. I am constantly hearing shit made in the late 60's and the 70's that sounds league ahead of anything coming out know. A definite digression for sure. But take it as a good thing you've outgrown them now you can enjoy better music and leave the shit behind

No one said they had to be good.

Listen to more music

Rock music died a long time ago, now all that remains is a fractured husk
Same way that hip hop died in the 2000s and all that remains is a WWE-esque reality show about rivalries and "beefs" and men talking about all the women they fuck and the dolla they reap
