Remind me why this entry level pop garbage is good?
>>60509206
Because it's catchy as fuck senpai
It's okay at best.

>implying i'm going to spend my time explaining the importance of the strokes' debut to some kid who was probably shitting his diaper when this album first came out

this has been the retarded contrarian stance against it since its release.
>>60509206
because every song on it is incredibly efficient and super-catchy.

are you fucking serious?

My whole millennial life I thought The Strokes were one of those punk bands from the 70s. I now realize I've been missing out and this shit is great. Thanks OP.
>>60509206
it's not, they just snuck in during a lull and kids at the time didn't know any better

Holy shit dude. Didn't you Sonic Youth in high school? Or Alice in Chains or whatever the fuck?You've had time to expand. You should know more about music by now.

Because it's a knee.
It's not

I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but it's a good album and /mu/ just hates on it to be edgy.

Fucking classic riffs on this album you have to admit

pretty much this, all songs are solid and Casablancas' delivery is great in The Modern Age for example
>>60509206
It must suck making something this good and realizing its a fluke that you will never be able to repeat.

music was worse than benzos, it was like a bad batch of meth (gaudy, derivative, trailer trash)
Linkin Park, Godsmack, Bad Metallica, Creed, Limp Bizkit, and similar ilk all contributed to rock being a total fucking joke. The Strokes did everyone a huge fucking favor when they came along. It's akin to what they say about Nirvana's positive impact but without the bad side effect of kicking off the grudge era.

I don't find myself skipping any of the songs on this album, and I've listened to it for years.
That's the greatest sign of an album being great in my opinion.
And really, this is one of those albums that I really can't understand someone not liking at all.
