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

Random idiot #1 - Fully man

At least in central-Indiana and possibly beyond, "stroke(s)" can refer to (a) jokester(s) and/or someone/people who does/do not live up to their promise or word.
Nobody else showed up for that regional frat-house meeting at Purdue except our house. Those other chapters are a bunch o' strokes.

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.

Music that began the original rock music that we now love and cherishfinally. Spastic guitars that blend to make one melodic sound, steady and fact drum beats that create the backbone of the music, smooth basslines that keep you awake while wondering what the hell the bassist is thinking about, and a voice that makes you want to fuck. and then fuck some more.
