The strokes 

A group of homosexuals from New York who think they’re cool because they’re trapped in a musical era that time forgot, and with good reason. Many emo kids think that they’re hip by listening to the "the Strokes" but are simply pandering to the notion that you have to be outside of the mainstream in order to be good. A complete lack of originality and talent, don’t waste your time listening to The Strokes because the Rolling Stones did it better, and they did it 40 YEARS AGO.
Emo Kid: Do you want to listen to the new "The Strokes" album? I got it on vinyl because I’m so hip.

Nromal person: No I have many things I would rather do with my time, like make furious man-love to a cheese grater.

Emo Kid: (slices wrists and lays in the corner crying)

The Strokes 

A band comprised of spoiled children of talent agents and other rich NYC businessmen. At different moments they rip off The Velvet Underground and Television, and are perpetually drunk/coked up.

Contrary to popular belief, they are not 'indie,' they are on RCA which is about as independent as Burger King.

A hit with any white bread suburban kid who wants to develop an edgy persona.
e.g. I was listening to the Strokes in my H2 on the way to Nordstrom's to pick up my CGBG shirt. I feel very rock and roll now.

Why be original when we can sound like 30 year old crusty garage rock?! Yaaaaayyyy!!!

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".

I hate that guy, he's The Strokes.

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!!!
