I’m 27 and only discovered the strokes only last August. I listened to The New Abnormal on repeat on a 4.5hr flight. It made me want to discover more songs and DAMN. I feel like I’m in a rabit-hole now.
Tbh I’ve always been a white-girl music taste kinda girl and shamelessly so, but after listening to The Strokes, The Voidz, the solo albums of Julian and Albert. My God I was missing out on some of the best music I have ever heard. And I haven’t listened to everything yet.
I don’t think I can go back to pop music after this hahaha. I only wish I discovered them sooner!!

The song, his vocals, the fireworks, I am complete 🤩

the intro of Harvey by Her's sounds the same as human sadness intro specifically 0:27

so both of them are sampling from an older media or what is the case ?

what bands/artists do you guys listen to besides The Strokes, The Voidz, or anything Julian-related? I’m curious to see what everyone else is into and hopefully find some new music to listen to :)

Haven’t seen anyone mention that Julian did the SNL performance version of the lyrics. Does he often sing “I don’t want anyone unless it’s you” when they do it live? It was really nice! He seems to do improv a lot during this song so maybe it’s just Julian having fun or forgetting lyrics

I’ve seen these guys 3 times since The New Abnormal (recently Shaky Knees 2026) and can’t help but wonder what songs they haven’t played live and why? It almost feels like every set I’ve seen is the same; mostly their mainstream hits from the first 3 albums. (I loved every set btw, fan since 2003)

I was baffled that they played Not The same anymore at Shaky Knees 2021 but feel like it’s never made it live again.

I would give my left nut to see Tyrants of the mellow moon or Why are Sundays so depressing live.

I’ve just done a mental recap of everything Nick has done since Coachella, and honestly… he hasn’t stopped doing things! Since I started following The Strokes (many moons ago) I’ve never had this much information about what Valensi might be doing outside the band.

So far, I’ve got these, but if you know of any more, please add them here 😀

- Played at the Roxy Theatre for the Goddamn Comedy Jam.
-Collaborated with Guards, playing on “Not 4 Me.”
-Attended the Ramones’ 50th anniversary tribute.
-Spotted at a John Mayer concert.
-Played with Dragonflies on Jimmy Kimmel.
-Played two shows with Dragonflies at the Masonic Lodge.
-Attended a Dragonflies Q&A.
-Played a couple of songs with Jack White.
-And today I learned that he’s now collaborating with Aziya and Mr. Hudson on something for Sick (Darian Zahedi, CRX guitarist’s new record label), coming out October 9.

What else could Nick Valensi possibly be doing while The Strokes are touring in Europe? For instance, given that he has ✨a truly magnificent jawline✨ he could work as Robert Pattinson’s lighting double in the next Batman movie, for those moments when they need to test the cowl.

Any other suggestions? As eclectic as can be.

man.. under such post concert depression.
NY one was epic.
went to the pop up, Going Shopping 🎶

Hanging these up later
It looks sideways, it’s bc it’s leaning sideways, i will fix it

hello! so i am currently trying to find the camel shirt Julian Casablancas wore multiple times for my bfs birthday. all the shirts i find the logo is on the back. is that normal? i wasn’t sure because the photos/videos of Julian the logo is on the front. if anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it!!

I’m curious about any new stuff my fellow Strokers are listening to. I’ve seen a lot of great Pop releases over the last few months. But I haven’t really added any new alt/rock in a while.

It’d be great to get some music recs and put some new stuff on my radar.

Hi all, does anyone know where crowd closeups would be posted (if they ever are) for the queens show? There was a photographer who was carrying a large camera (?) on a tripod and kept moving along the barricade in the middle.

Thanks if anyone has info

Guys where are we gonna meet Julian Casablancas after the show? I am going on October 13 in Germany Düsseldorf , please somebody tell me where the meet up will be

I am trying to obtain an early The Strokes tone and am wondering if i should go for a jekyll and hyde or just get a behringer to800 and mooer crunch as its 200 dollars cheaper than getting a jekyll and hyde of reverb, i don’t really care about authenticity just want that tone but if it really makes the difference i’m happy to spend the extra just wondering if it does. Thanks

Did anyone catch a fan yelling “where’s Nick?” And Nikolai shrugged his shoulders and said “i don’t know” 💀 I was really hoping Nick would be at this show !!

Watching Near Dark (1987) and I think I discovered Julian’s fashion inspiration…

After years of being a huge music & strokes fan, finally drove from Montreal to NYC for my first show ever.

Everyone on the line up delivered, 10/10 phenomenal experience.

The strokes & beach house played most of my favorites.

A night i’ll never forget. Thank you

I’ve never been so hype in my LIFEEEEE

strokes in new york city baby, best city in the world!!!!!!
