“The New Abnormal” is The Strokes' sixth studio album, released April 10. As their popularity has always gone in and out over the decades, the band has never reached obscurity due to hit songs such as “Reptilia'” and “Last Nite” always drawing them back into the limelight of alternative rock. The Strokes have truly defined the garage rock era that emerged in the late 1990s, along with its resurgence in the 2010s.
Strokes frontman, Julian Casablancas, has created a revolutionary album, straying from the norm of indie stardom created by the New York band, and stepping onto a synthpop, alternative platform.
I am not sure how the whole generation labeling thing works. I know there was a Generation X, but I don’t think there was a Generation W. I’ve been told that I was part of Generation Y, so I’m assuming that today’s tender teenagers are Generation Z. But, from what I’m seeing, Generation ZZZZ seems more appropriate.
