"I think The Strokes represent the pinnacle of this for a lot of people: unmistakably cool and secure, but not performatively masculine."
"Besides the guy from the Strokes, who else is an op?"
"A few observations: NYC is back baby The Strokes are still the coolest motherfuckers on the planet AOC sounds like a chipmunk who swallowed some helium Live music fucking rocks and I love y'all."
"I remember fondly listening to the strokes on record booths or having my first kiss after inviting my crush to watch the amazing Spider-Man"
"I remember an early strokes interview where they got really pissed off at him after he made some 'smell the glove' joke about the album cover."
"I don't remember anyone trying to put bands on a pedestal like this in the 2000's. Nobody was like "oh the Strokes and Wilco are so amazing, I can't believe people think the Velvet Underground is great"."
"Than someday into alone, together into last nite into hard to explain into new York city cops You can't!"
"When I was a kid I was always alone, because I didn't go to school. I would listen to my iPod and wander around the countryside for hours and hours. Bands and artists I read about on the internet: interpol, the Strokes, Aphex twin, Telefon Tel Aviv, Zero 7, Jose Gonzalez."

"The Strokes have long been the classic example. Julian Casablancas and Albert Hammond first met at a renowned Swiss boarding school that costs over $130,000 per year to attend and served Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Du Ponts, and literal monarchs alike."
