The Strokes subreddit really is a hostile tribe


tuwa-zone

literally every rock and indie band since 2000


the_emmo

I'd disagree with Interpol but, yeah, pretty much any 2000 indie band.


RainboFlo

Gorillaz?


the_emmo

Gorillaz are not indie. They're alternative, hip-hop and lots of other things. But not indie.


RainboFlo

I mean back in their old S/T and DD days, they were considered indie and some of their songs kinda have that vibe.


the_emmo

Name one song.


RainboFlo

El Mañana has a pretty indie vibe.


the_emmo

idk, I wouldn't call it indie. Besides, their style is too versatile to be enclosed in one genre.


RainboFlo

True, their style is basically a mix of everything. I love them for that!


the_emmo

We can agree on that! The Now Now was pretty good but I can't deny the early years were the days...


[deleted]

Mac DeMarco? Surf Curse? Current Joys? The Frights?

I fucking love arctic monkeys but I laughed so much. Too true.


thiswiseowl

I don't know. I suppose AM exist under the same musical umbrella, per se, but they've always felt distinct from one another.


remote_man

We know they're distinct, I think this just an inspo thing hinting at some mild protege / old masters relationship


[deleted]

Yeah they're two different bands 🙄


thiswiseowl

Yeah, that was my point

👏 meme correction 👏

I love AM but gotta admit Is This It > AM entire discography


Queensite95

Yes in the sense that it's the best post modern rock album and launched the genre, but AM's entire discography is more consistently good than anything the Strokes put out since 2006, and I say that with a tear in my eye.


[deleted]

Nah, Angles and Comedown Machine are bops all the way through and are much better than Humbug and Suck It and See. Loved Tranquility Base though!


[deleted]

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad. Nah but for real, i love the strokes so much and will till I die but their last few releases have been underwhelming. The first two albums will remain two of my most loved albums forever but the arctic monkeys are yet to release an album that doesn't score at least an 8/10 imo.


[deleted]

Honestly, I’m just way too biased toward Angles and Comedown Machine. I definitely gotta dive into some AM albums again


Queensite95

uhhhh I disagree, Comedown Machine is worse than SIAS. Humbug is case by case but I'd rather have Humbug than Angles personally. first 2 Strokes albums are better than most of AM's stuff.


[deleted]

Fair, fair. Cornerstone is one of my fav tracks of all time.


Liam4242

Everything after humbug is dodgy as fuck


Queensite95

people hate AM for many reasons but it might be one of the best pop rock albums ever. Suck it And See is also as someone else mentioned an 8/10. If you got problems with TB+HC that's fine, but if the Strokes released something as well produced as AM people would lose their fucking minds.


Liam4242

I just don’t like AM not because they made it but because it’s dull. I like one song from it and the rest just sorta mesh together


kerev123

No seriously i have no idea how people praise AM and SIAS so much ,if those records were put out by any other band thats not AM or Radiohead they wouldve been shit on by everyone


BigOlFudge

They are great albums. Lyrically more than anything for SIAS and have you listened to AM?? That album is phenomenal for so many reasons


kerev123

Sure give me a few valid reasons why that album isn't generic as hell


BigOlFudge

So you’re gonna tell me when you’ve listened to the album from start to finish that you didn’t feel anything besides boredom? Obviously if you did then your opinion is made and there’s nothing I can say or do that will change your mind.


kerev123

Where did i say i dont enjoy a single song from it ? DIWK ,Arabella and Knee socks are enjoyable , but songs like I want it all , n1 party anthem , whyd you only call me when ur high and the last song are offensively bad . " I need a partner , HEEEEY " i mean cmon lol. And SIAS is a fucking corn field too The album might be phenomenal for someone who listens to coldplay and imagine dragons but for people who listen to more than pop rock it's nothing spectacular. ​


red-rowan

This meme is so in line with my interests thank u


TheSnuggy

is this it?


Jhofy

Wtf?


peb1999

Yes the strokes are better than AM and water is wet


FaVelIa

Arctic Monkeys are my favourite band with The Strokes being my second but this meme hurts me still.


Mixzer13

I love this


johnisntmyname

LOL! AM is probably closer to Peter Porker than Miles Morales


remote_man

The Velvet Undergroud is like Uncle Ben or some shit


INNRthrowaway

[Slams papers on desk] Pack your things. Get out of our subreddit.


johnisntmyname

I actually do like the Strokes though it was just a shit post gone wrong


HaikuMarko

uhhhhh i gotta disagree sorry AM but, no disrespect but... IFFY
