the Strokes

Five kids from NYC who have nothing to say.
"Look at the Strokes, their haircuts are so cute".

"Let's form a band like the Strokes. We can wear timeless vintage threads, sing like Iggy Pop, and date supermodels".

The Strokes

An overpriviledged Manhattanite band that, despite constantly being held by clueless critics as the epitome of garage rock, have very little to do with the genre. Much more in common with the brit-pop blended version of rock like that of The Killers than the truely raw and soulful sounds of The Gories or The Stooges. For real garage, see: The Demolition Doll Rods, The Makers, the older music of The Von Bondies, and yes, The White Stripes.
Those iTunes critics even liken The Libertines to The Strokes - come on now!!!

vinegar strokes

A method of swimming; you have front crawl, back crawl, breasts stroke, butterfly stroke and vinegar stroke. You prepell yourself through the water by girating your hips like your giving it to a woman.
You can prepell yourself backward using the same method...just by doing it on your back.
"and now for the 50 metres vinegar stroke final"

The Strokes

A piece of shit band who attempt to copy the velvet underground and fail miserably. They are all incapable of performing a decent solo.
Q. Whats the difference bettween the strokes and a bucket of shit.

A. The Bucket
