Query: who cares about hype if you can be cool listening to this?

i wasn't afraid to give the strokes a listen b/c i didn't care whether or not their hype was due to "daddy" or legitmate buzz, so i approached listening to these guys the same way. the music is ok, but i wouldnt say they're bringing anything new to an old game. for what its worth, if you like listening to joy div, the cure, or the smiths, then just keep on doing that. if you need another band in that genre that doesn't seem to push anything forward, then you can be cool caught listening to this...
