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!!!

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 band with interesting guitar, yet has one of the worst singers ever. His voice is so boring it kills the music, although when he belts he sounds good. But his regular singing voice is very boring. Just listen to the song "Reptilia", the guitar intro is great but then the vocals come in and kill the entire flow.
The Strokes are good but their singer sucks, they need a new one.

A band that makes Rebecca Black look good. The singer looks like a woman, which excited me when I heard the name of the band, until he opened his mouth. Then my ears bled. Also any band that has erotic insinuations in the name, but does not, in fact, have erotic undertones is terrible.
Gurl: OH MAI GAWD The Strokes IS LYKE THE WORST THING I'VE EVER HERD AND I LISTEN TO BLCK MUSIC ALL DAY! WHAT THE F***!

When a guy masturbates at the stroke of midnight. A sad event when the man should be doing something more worth his time.
Fred: Hey, shouldn't Kermit be celebrating NYE with us tonight?
Joe Joe: Meh, I bet you he'll be stroking on the stroke.

Jane: Hey what did you and Kermit do for Valentine's?
Alexa: I went out with the girls, I bet the poor guy was stroking on the stroke.
