A bit whiny tbh. I was put off The Strokes during their day precisely because of the hype and the association with models and their apparently monied background. How could a group of people so shallow and privileged make decent music?

I was wrong.

Is This It? is one of the great soulful and original rock albums and you are denying yourself a great experience - as was I - with your suspicion and cynicism.
