the\ strokes

1. (The Strokes) (1684↑, 189↓)

Music that began the original rock music that we now love and cherish[finally]. Spastic guitars that blend to make one melodic sound, steady and fact drum beats that create the backbone of the music, smooth basslines that keep you awake while wondering what the hell the bassist is thinking about, and a voice that makes you want to fuck. and then fuck some more.

I am listening to the strokes, ie sex.

The strokes. A great band, intelligent guys who decided not to do what the rest of the bands are doing, but rather they gathered a little from everything and created a unique and fresh sound. And a great style. Ok, this is not rock & roll..actually, you can´t call it anything...they ARE a new genre by themselves, despite what some people say. So, yeah\! bring back rock & roll\! and let The Strokes keep doing the great music they do. That´s all I have to say.

[Julian Casablancas] is the sexiest & cutiest guy out there right now...will they ever come down to Southamerica?? I´ll be their interpreter more than happy\!\!\!

definition of New York garage rock. highly addicted to drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. composed of some of the hottest guys in indie rock. ... all of which will inevitably die of lung cancer, if not diseased livers.

The Strokes are cooler than everybody and their uncle.

A retro-of-the-future Manhattan rock band whose debut album, Is This It, kickstarted the new rock revolution.

Man, what's up with that douchebag calling The Strokes a british band who were themselves a genre? A single band can't be an entire genre. What an idiot.

The Strokes are this amazing band that basically all knew each other before the band started. I find it funny that a couple of them got kicked out of whatever schools they were going to at the time. These amazing guys just care about the music, the good times, and the fact that they can spend time together. They love what they do. They love bringing out a sort of music style that wasn't out there before the Strokes existed. As long as they're satisfied with themselves, and they're convinced that they're doing the best they can, they're happy. They love to have fun. Sometimes it looks like they screw around all the time (and sometimes they take it in the literal sense), but I think that their fun time and their music time is pretty equal - considering all of the awesome home videos and movies about them and then considering all of the awesome music out there. It's hard to pick a favorite, so I won't. I'm satisfied with staring at my shring of pictures in my locker at school of all of them. Although Nick, I would really like guitar lessons (Albert can help out). And if Fab could teach me how to make my sculptures and stuff in art NOT come out to be gigantic blobs, that would make me happy, as well. How about all of the Strokes just come up to where I live? Just live there. Forever.

The Strokes are in the modern age, they're in control but under control (only they can do that... *muse*), they're just barely legal, they like spending time alone together, they can't win but will someday - oh, they're so hard to explain\!\! (I luffs them.)

Edward Von Bron describes The Strokes as: the best thing since the wheel; the most amazing rock and roll band of the twenty first century; perfection; the antidote to Slipknot - corey taylor's a jealous hack, his two musical endeavors wont amount to anything the Strokes scrape off the bottom of their chuck's.

Friggin' awesome band. Some of the world's more moronic people may say that The Strokes don't have any super fabulouso insane solos or anything like that. To them I say this: who the hell cares? The Strokes are way cooler than most of us will ever be. I know they're cooler than I'll ever be, anyway.

The Strokes are my drug of choice.

Seeing the strokes live was the greatest day of my life. They are even better looking up close.

The incredible band that you have to be a complete dipshit to not like. They have some kind of genre all their own, that can't be described as rock and roll or alternative. They have released so many great song like reptilia, heart in a cage, juicebox, and last nite just to name a few. They are a fucking awesome band and if you haven't heard their music then you should start listening.

-Dude i went to the strokes concert last night and it fucking ruled -Dude, the strokes suck -Yo you suck -(sigh) your right. I'm gonna go shove a parking cone up my ass. And the strokes do rule by the way.

The strokes are a garage rock/post-punk band, formed in 1998. Also along with the white stripes brought back mainstream media interest in garage rock. And many other garage rock bands and post-punk bands became big along with them. in 2001 the strokes realeased is this it. The album has notable songs like last nite,hard to explain and nyc cops. The bands music and style has influenced the majority of music to after in the 2000s. The bands dress style is usually somewhat 70s retro,vintage. So a certain style would be blazers or a leather jacket with skinny jeans and chuck. taylors. The strokes may be the \#1 reason you might see lots of guys dressed that way.

Other 2000s bands like the strokes are the libertines,arctic monkeys,the hives,interpol,franz ferdinand,the killers,tokyo police club.

A group of homosexuals from New York who think they’re cool because they’re trapped in a musical era that time forgot, and with good reason. Many emo kids think that they’re hip by listening to the "the Strokes" but are simply pandering to the notion that you have to be outside of the mainstream in order to be good. A complete lack of originality and talent, don’t waste your time listening to [The Strokes] because the [Rolling Stones] did it better, and they did it 40 YEARS AGO.

Emo Kid: Do you want to listen to the new "The Strokes" album? I got it on vinyl because I’m so hip. Nromal person: No I have many things I would rather do with my time, like make furious man-love to a cheese grater. Emo Kid: (slices wrists and lays in the corner crying)

A band that makes Rebecca Black look good. The singer looks like a woman, which excited me when I heard the name of the band, until he opened his mouth. Then my ears bled. Also any band that has erotic insinuations in the name, but does not, in fact, have erotic undertones is terrible.

Gurl: OH MAI GAWD [The Strokes] IS LYKE THE WORST THING I'VE EVER HERD AND I LISTEN TO BLCK [MUSIC] ALL DAY\! WHAT THE F***\!

An overpriviledged Manhattanite band that, despite constantly being held by clueless critics as the epitome of garage rock, have very little to do with the genre. Much more in common with the brit-pop blended version of rock like that of [The Killers] than the truely raw and soulful sounds of [The Gories] or [The Stooges]. For real garage, see: [The Demolition Doll Rods], [The Makers], the older music of [The Von Bondies], and yes, [The White Stripes].

Those iTunes critics even liken The Libertines to The Strokes - come on now\!\!\!

Five kids from NYC who have nothing to say.

A band with interesting guitar, yet has one of the worst singers ever. His voice is so boring it kills the music, although when he belts he sounds good. But his regular singing voice is very boring. Just listen to the song "Reptilia", the guitar intro is great but then the vocals come in and kill the entire flow.

The Strokes are good but their singer sucks, they need a new one.

34. (The Strokes) (63↑, 224↓)

A band comprised of spoiled children of talent agents and other rich NYC businessmen. At different moments they rip off The Velvet Underground and Television, and are perpetually drunk/coked up. Contrary to popular belief, they are not 'indie,' they are on RCA which is about as independent as Burger King. A hit with any white bread suburban kid who wants to develop an edgy persona.

e.g. I was listening to the Strokes in my H2 on the way to Nordstrom's to pick up my CGBG shirt. I feel very rock and roll now.
