[@mariasaldana4058]

I miss this type of music. 21 years later this sting is still Iconic

[@joniarmel7308]

A lot of us miss this genre of music .

[@aggt9266]

it really is iconic and played a roll in my highschool experience about 10 years after its release

[@balthasarroussel6956]

they're still making this music my man

[@sammyblatstein318]

Just wait for me

[@sadocaster]

you should get into indie rock, theres a lot of music that took influence from The Strokes

[@LagmasterB]

This is treasured footage of one of the most underrated bands in rock. Ever. The people here know though.

[@reygarciaiv484]

Julian's a really cool singer. I really like his voice.

[@Fefnefef]

I'm always blown away by Julian's ability to be so gritty yet pitch perfect still. straight talent

[@reviewswithyou3421]

i know the strokes were big… but in my eyes they are absolutely underrated. they make any other band look like they are trying and these guys literally sound perfect

[@soloar2007]

Every single one of them a born rockstar. The stars really aligned in a rare way when these young men got together.

[@user-qe5uv1cj1x]

Me when I haven’t looked up the self made indie rocker’s parents on wikipedia:

[@Blade2vampirerave]

Gosh, I remember watching this. They were so cool.

[@iamyou111]

That’s amazing

[@rolyatnad]

[@pizzzi__]

They still are buddy

[@MaoistBanker]

I was 3 people shy of getting a ticket to this taping :(

[@vikinginspace4881]

The nostalgic vibe hit hard in this tune when I first heard it 2002. Now it sounds like an hug from a dead relative. Mindblowing how good this sounds live

[@Bruv234]

I remember hearing this for the first time and instantly connecting. I’m always a big fan of 50’s - 60’s classic rock,do-wop, and R&B as well as Jamaican Ska/Reggae. I like 70’s and 80’s punk and new wave. Grew up with grandparents who listened to the great jazz crooners like Sinatra, Nat King Cole,Perry Cuomo, Tony Bennett, and Louis Prima. The Strokes are a little bit of all those things. That’s why they are always one of my favorites. Excellent live as well!

[@La_Horca]

It's called Post-punk revival. They are Post-punk but they also eat even more from 50s to 60s garage rock than 80s Post-punk. That's why they sound so "beachy" in their first two albums. Legendary band.

[@GSDhandler1]

Reminds of struggling to fit in, not understanding my lessons, having no money and feeling under enormous pressure to be a success.

[@edgarallanpoet]

Melancholy nostalgia...

[@leekmuynuts139]

Pain so good..🍻

[@MarieJesne]

Even better live, I love the grit in his voice here

[@justinsteele6308]

thank god this was recorded

[@vangthao4624]

--NOSTALGIA--

[@davidjames4980]

When we was young …oh man did we have fun always

[@victorial4302]

1:44 imagine being smiled at by him like that…

[@lnsordo91]

I think he was actually upset and telling someone to be quiet lol. I think he mouthed "mother fucker" before walking closer to the audience member.

[@j.c7719]

The Strokes always slap, proper classic punk rock/new wave sound for the modern age.

[@jwd3344]

Holy shit, so smooth and perfect live

[@elastoblasto]

Flawless performance. I can’t even fathom how some musicians have such an effortless way about them when it comes to performing. It’s like they are just tying their shoes or riding a bike.

[@TheSamborambo23]

Amazing band this album is a classic

[@FanDeLionelMessi]

The best version of this song.

[@archiet2205]

Anyone else think the lyrics are just pure poetry??

[@Roy-wj1xk]

Julian is nothing but cool and handsome

[@j.c7719]

and a great singer and songwriter

[@user-ml2pl8tc6q]

I although t thought fab and Nick were the best looking

[@10pitate]

[@patrysia876]

[@ryanporteous1595]

Effortless. Brilliant!

[@sebastianc.c.4011]

[@thepencilshow5046]

This julian guy seems cool, he has potential to be a musician.

[@wa6roy]

[@user-cu2lr8eb2d]

I love Julian♡♡

[@miguedominguez8290]

See, alone we stand, together we fall apart

[@philliplaker9661]

I assumed that you realise that I love you both. You probably don't remember meeting me, but I will never forget the best day of my life

[@PaulieAI]

Julian sounds so good live man... fuck...

[@SeayMck]

[@SensualMayo]

[@Josh_J91]

What a debut album

[@AmbitiouslyVicious]

sooo fcking gorgeous

[@suprateam1933]

...cheers Julian ! 🥂

[@popplug3384]

One of the best pop songs period.

[@allisonbrady1364]

Pop??

[@popplug3384]

Allison Brady yes Pop

[@adriansvarela]

Na it’s not pop man. It’s like garage rock post punk haha. Pop is like Taylor Swift or lady Gaga. Nothing wrong with it. But not accurate

[@popplug3384]

adriansvarela the structure and approach to the song is pop in the classic pop sense. There is pop the music genre and pop the aesthetic. I meant the latter and not the music of Ariana/Taylor etc.

[@littlemalta3332]

@@popplug3384 i would say Indie rock.

[@FUUN24]

Epico❤

[@mrcowlick7537]

lmfaoo jules forgot to dry his hair

[@seanmouchette7059]

Love this, looks like they haven’t bathed or change clothes for weeks

[@cartmanmeehhmmm5839]

Rip Julian 😢

[@dondamon4669]

He never knew had to dress or do his hair 😂 and hos bodyvshsoecwas always weird! For a band like the strokes these things matter. Liam or Cobain never even tried but akways looked right in prime

[@3xtan327]

Never tried? Lol keep telling yourself that, kurt always wore loose clothing because he was very insecure about how skinny he was. No diss to either band tho, it’s insecurities like these that make them seem human.

[@surewhynot6040]

Holy crap this stinks
