The greatest rock duo of all time. Vocals, guitar, mandolin, and various other instruments by eccentric frontman Jack White. Drums, tambourine, and vocals by the shy Meg White - who many believe is a untalented drummer for her use of simple and innocent beats, although this is very untrue. Known for their oddness, black/white/red color scheme, and amazing music. It is believed by some they are brother/sister, but they were ex-husband and wife. They were married, but now divorced refer to eachother as siblings. Often refered to as "freaks" or "weirdos". If this is true, they are the coolest freaks I have ever seen.
Idiotic person: The White Stripes suck! They are so weird!
Me: No, you are just incapible of appreciating real music and real talent. Go listen to your Soulja Boy and Jonas Brothers and get a life.
Idiotic person: Whatever!
Me: *paints black circles around eyes*

Somebody's screaming
Looking at the ceiling
Everything's so funny
I don't have any money
People don't even know me
But they know how to show me
Why can't you be nicer to me?

A band whose high sales and popularity are proof that the general public has no taste in music. White Stripes is comprised of people with *at most* 2 months of music instruction, zero vocal instruction, and a pseudo-70's low-fidelity sound. Music doesn't have to be complex to be fun to listen to (ie. Nirvana), but if it's both lacking structure AND annoying to listen to, you have a crappy band on your hands.
Guy 1: Hey, wanna go to the White Stripes concert?
Guy 2: No.
Guy 1: Why not?
Guy 2: Because I like bands that don't suck.
Guy 1: What are you talking about? White Stripes is a great band.
Guy 2: Why do you say that?
Guy 1: Because my friends told me so.
Guy 2: Oh, so you're unable to form your own opinions.
Guy 1: Yes.
Guy 2: I thought so.
Guy 2: No.
Guy 1: Why not?
Guy 2: Because I like bands that don't suck.

the poorest excuse for music since rolf harris. the white stripes' music consists of the same drum beat repeated an infinite number of times, accompanied by the simplest and most annoying guitar riff ever. or a tambourine. or whatever other fucking gay instrument the white stripes found in their garage last week.
the people who listen to the white stripes are generally people with no musical taste whatsoever, or such a desperate desire for attention that they talk all kinds of shit to get noticed. these people will most likely be an activist of some kind.
