Music that began the original rock music that we now love and cherishfinally. 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.

different strokes for different folks

An expression meaning that everyone has their own way of doing things or approaching life. Often said in disagreement with how someone else has done things, but can also be said in a neutral or even positive fashion.

(rolling eyes) "He proposed to Susie through a casual email?!? Well, I guess different strokes for different folks."

The Strokes

A brilliant band who brought about the garage punk/rock revolution. Ahh... The Strokes are not British.

Julian Casablancas is the fucking bomb!

Different Strokes Syndrome

A book, television show or movie which seemed to be awesome when seen as a child but turn out to be unbearably shitty as an adult.

1. I tried to watch Voltron the other day. What a terrible show! I can't believe we watched that shit back in the day. Talk about Different Strokes Syndrome.

2. Jonathan Livingston Seagull gave me a total "I'm special" hard-on when I was 13. Due to Different Strokes Syndrome, I couldn't make it through the first chapter as an adult.
