The strokes are a garage rock/post-punk band, formed in 1998. Also along with the white stripes brought back mainstream media interest in garage rock. And many other garage rock bands and post-punk bands became big along with them. in 2001 the strokes realeased is this it. The album has notable songs like last nite,hard to explain and nyc cops. The bands music and style has influenced the majority of music to after in the 2000s. The bands dress style is usually somewhat 70s retro,vintage. So a certain style would be blazers or a leather jacket with skinny jeans and chuck. taylors. The strokes may be the #1 reason you might see lots of guys dressed that way.
Other 2000s bands like the strokes are the libertines,arctic monkeys,the hives,interpol,franz ferdinand,the killers,tokyo police club.

A frequently-used discreet word for "masturbating". It may be used in reference to a male or female, and it also may be used when it is done by oneself or by someone else.
If you're in polite company, you would use the subtle word "stroking" instead of the blunt terms "masturbating" or "wanking".

Mum: Did you take Charlie his dinner?
Cheryl: No, I couldn't go in. He was busy.
Mum: What do you mean "busy"? If he's busy, you can still take it in, can't you?
Cheryl: No, he needs his privacy. He was, um... busy stroking himself, Mum.

The incredible band that you have to be a complete dipshit to not like. They have some kind of genre all their own, that can't be described as rock and roll or alternative. They have released so many great song like reptilia, heart in a cage, juicebox, and last nite just to name a few. They are a fucking awesome band and if you haven't heard their music then you should start listening.

Friggin' awesome band. Some of the world's more moronic people may say that The Strokes don't have any super fabulouso insane solos or anything like that. To them I say this: who the hell cares? The Strokes are way cooler than most of us will ever be. I know they're cooler than I'll ever be, anyway.
