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.

Quirky two-piece band of pasty-pale individuals obsessed with the colors red and white. Low-Fi.

A band consisting of two members with an ambiguous relation to each other. Are strangely obsessed with the colors red & white. Are awesome.

possibly the last hold out for blues and classic rock after stevie ray vaughn. made up of only two members, the white stripes sound is unmatched by any of its contemporaries. it is far from repetitive in that songs vary from jack whites light and sometimes humorous acoustic licks to grinding blues that is often accompanied by unbelievable slide play. yes, some recordings sound very raw and sketchy but this brings an honesty and pureness to their music. jack white is agruably the most talented guitarist in the world right now but this is hard to tell by just listening to the albums. you will know what i mean if you have seen his live performances

A band composed of two people, Jack and Meg White. Jack White, the bands founder has been influenced heavily by southern blues. Jack also used his wifes very primitive drum playing in his songs, which makes for a very simple, and easy-to-listen to beat(though this can sometimes be repetitive). The use of extremely low quality sound recording, gives a vintage sound to the band(though it does take away from the vocals a bit). The bands name comes from a speech given by Goerge Washington, when he described the nations flag saying

"We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing Liberty"

The best band ever.have a lot of sound for two people.

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.
