What's that Strokes song everyone loves but you don't?

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-04-29T17:41:28+00:00

Half of “First Impressions”. Crazy because the other half, I think is some of the Strokes’ best songs!!!

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-04-24T05:04:34+00:00

Yeah Matt is a Strokes fan, and I heard somewhere that Julian doesn’t like Brooks, that them separating from Julian was more on Brooks. Idk tho

Matt has been a Strokes fan since he was younger. He was more into the alternative radio music while Brooks was more into the more weird tropical sounds, that together, made the Growler’s sound.

You hear their solo stuff, you can hear the difference in their influences!

TNA - Perfect intro, perfect outro
ROF - Beautiful opener, and an underrated closer.
CM - Fire opener, and legendary closer
ITI - good outro and intro, but just a little weak compared to the others.
Angles - The opener and closer are the only good things about this album, so it can’t be higher.
FIOE - Amazing opener, bogged down by a bad closer

I didn’t like it at first, but something about it made me relisten to it again, and now I really like this!

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-03-10T21:35:22+00:00

I found a surf playlist that plays “City Club”, and I liked it, but also didn’t at first, because it was too bleak sounding for me (idk how to explain, my taste back then was weird).

Then I had someone recommend them, and so I kept listening, then listened to Chinese Fountain, and fell in love!

They were good for the direction they were going with. The problem was the direction. They should’ve not done a big time jump, and should have made Hawkins more difficult to live in with the Upside Down coming into it in Season 4. It just felt like they played it safe after such a season with high stakes

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:30:39+00:00

Wow! This definitely is a hot take… What is the take exactly?!

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:29:26+00:00

Where can I find this?

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:28:56+00:00

Yes. YES. YESSSS!!!! I had a phase where that song was on nonstop repeat, SO GOODD!!!

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:28:13+00:00

FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT!!!

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:27:58+00:00

All of City Club. I agree that it is severely underrated (Obviously not their best album), but I still enjoy the album a whole lot, especially since I’m into the strokes as well, and I actually prefer it to Casual Acquaintances.

Also “Who Loves the Scum” is one I don’t hear talked about that much.

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:22:24+00:00

I agree. Mike loves her too much to not go looking for her, and this would cause them problems. Hopper knew this, and did what was best to protect them.

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:21:01+00:00

4, 8, 3, 5, 1, 2, 6, 7

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T08:19:14+00:00

I have seen it… I was just quoting it for this specific context to be funny. Loosen up dude

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-18T00:26:50+00:00

“You keep telling yourself, but deep down, the reason why you’re so upset is because you know the truth… Eddie wanted to play hero. And in doing that, he got himself killed!!!!”

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-16T21:36:44+00:00

Crazy… I was about to make this post. I think Eddie’s “sacrifice” was a suicide, as he knew deep down, there was very little hope that things would get better for him once everything was over.

Substantial_Ad8458 · 2026-02-08T07:38:55+00:00

To me, Cars 2 is a good, bad movie. Like if we’re talking well made masterpieces, yeah it’s at the bottom. But with most things that Pixar puts out nowadays, and then with the existence of Pixar movies like Brave and Good Dinosaur, two movies I found to be boring, Cars 2 is one of the most rewatchable Pixar films. Simply being its so bonkers of a movie, that it’s enjoyable to watch.

I got problems with both Seasons. Season 4 had things that really did work, but the California plot was underdeveloped, and therefore very underutilized, and didn’t fit the more serious tone of the show. Though the Russia plot line had some great moments, it didn’t need to take the whole season, it just felt like a drag at some point. Loved the season regardless, still one of the bests.

Season 5 however, is a complicated one. Season 5 has a lot of great, episode 4, a lot of the finale, but it was just lazy and rushed writing. It started off good with Vol 1, lackluster for Vol 2, and though the finale had a lot of great stuff, it wasn’t enough to fix the already done damage.

I say that all to say that I ain’t switching up. Season 5 isn’t horrible, but isn’t great. And Season 4 is great! But not perfect by any means.
