I hate the strokes.
*I like 50 cent. I'm a pencil necked pasty keyboard jockey whose daddy paid for ART school, can't dance if my life depended on it and I'm about as street as Salt Lake - but I hate the strokes cause I can't relate. Cau$e I'm a player pimp.
*I'm being sarcastic. or stoopid - either way ...

the strokes and the white stripes represent everything that is wrong with 'modern' rock.
so, so very poor and emotionless.
- cinder0
No, jevad.
That's MTV, major labels and the RIAA.

turn off the mtv and the radio and you will realize what really interests you. you little young bucks will learn.

mrdob. is right - listen up!
- jevad0
yeah those too - but the thread wasn't titled 'Hate MTV' or I would have had a go at them too!

what i'm saying is - there's nothing wrong with the bands
their hype is what's wrong
- Six80
The Hype is whats wrong, It infiltrates our lives with this garbage.
but hype can also bring cool things to the forefront. But if there was no hype we wouldnt be wasting time on this thread. Its late...
Strokes still suck.
- jevad0
yeah the hype is wrong - but the strokes aren't doing anything the sonics weren't doing 30 years ago - and they are doing it worse. I'm so sick of seeing people in london dressed like the strokes - they are more of a fashion zine than a band.
and the white stripes (and this is my opinion - ergo I am entitled to it) are just dull dull dull - a horribly mediocre band leading a horribly mediocre garage revival

so what are you listening to lately jevad?

I read all these posts and think it's al been covered very well. I felt a tremendous satisfaction to see how many people have it right. The Strokes are probably the most overrated rock since Bruce Springsteen and should not bear any comparison to the White Stripes who are a great band.

"most overrated rock since Bruce Springsteen"
oh my god dean I can't believe I just read that....I really am shaking my head and tutting in disbelief.
You simply cannot diss the boss - and you being an american!
: )
What am I listening to lately? A lot of ac/dc, zeppelin and hendrix...the new hey mercedes and the jealous sound, red house painters, nick drake...

"The Pink Stupids" would be a cool band name.

- mrdobolina0

i was listening to the strokes and white stripes before "they were in every magazine". why do people hate artists because they get lots of press coverage? i like them because they rock and have emotion and soul. seriously, what kind of shit are you people listening to? whoever said that nonsense about springstein is talkin mad shit. anyone that appreciates good lyricism and instrumentation can respect the boss at least a little (his early work). whoever mentioned built to spill deserves a cuban cigar. some of you blow a lot of hot air without any justification.

i love the "i was listening to them before they ever where..." line. every "hardcore?" fan says that.
classic.

yeah, good on ya jevad, top work.
so, reckon there was some hype around hendrix or zepplin back in the day?
wheather they deserved it or not who really cares.
you don't ask for hype or create it yourself.the strokes got there some how, and it wasn't by sitting on their arse saying they hate people for no real reason.
good luck to them and the white stripes, they deserve it.
