Some kind of dipshits are trying to make the Strokes into A Thing again, and listen: no. They sucked when they put out their one album that everybody loved because Pitchfork told them to, and they still suck now. Just let the motherfuckers languish.
Anybody replying to this to defend the Strokes gets blocked. Not joking.
@Kaaletram They were very much an early-2000s thing. Specifically, like 2002.
But they were ubiquitous at that time and heralded as the Saviours of Rock Music or whatever, when they were just a bunch of boring white dudes from New York who ripped off the White Stripes' low-fi aesthetic and replaced the raw emotions and hard-driving beats with an obnoxiously affected detachment.
@tobascodagama @Kaaletram we always referred to The Strokes as a four car garage band.
@allianora @Kaaletram Haha, nice one.
@tobascodagama If they suck so bad I guess it's a good thing that I haven't ever heard of them.
