strokes

Fabulous rock band from New York. Credited as one of the major players in the early '01/'02 garage rock revival (along with the Hives and the White Stripes and to a lesser extent the Vines), they have continually improved and expanded their sound over the years. Have released 3 albums so far (Is This It, Room On Fire & First Impressions Of Earth) and look to be moving from strength to strength. Excellent to look at or listen to, they are the embodiment of "cool" and hipster-chic

a stroke

When a program or platform has glitches that either are extreme or impact performance severely. A common example is when Discord's voice servers stop working or it sends messages twice.
Sorry, Discord was having a stroke for a bit there. Everything's good now though.

stroke

Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (and oxygen) it needs, so it starts to die.

Stroke

That extremely loud and obnoxious dude at the bar who refers to you as "bro" - Dickhead and Meathead are both suitable synonyms.

The Strokes

Edward Von Bron describes The Strokes as: the best thing since the wheel; the most amazing rock and roll band of the twenty first century; perfection; the antidote to Slipknot - corey taylor's a jealous hack, his two musical endeavors wont amount to anything the Strokes scrape off the bottom of their chuck's.
The Strokes = Genius
Everybody else = not*




*White Stripes, The Vines, Flaming Lips, Incubus need not apply
