I've actually come back around to liking The Strokes. When they first emerged on this side of the pond like everyone else i thought they were the coolest band ever, and Is This It? was on constant rotation on my stereo. I eventually grew sick of them and at the same time i was going off on a bit of a metal tangent. But in recent years i've been getting more and more into indie and i've found myself listening to them again. If you compare The Strokes to most of the hipster stuff that has followed in this decade i still say they stand head and shoulders above eveyone else and Is This It? will be seen as a classic indie album of this decade.
