I don't want it to explode. There are a lot of great prog bands right now, a really strong movement. We all know what happens when genres explode. Over-saturation and watering down of the style. No thanks. Keep the good shit sub-level. I'm not saying I don't want good bands to get recognized. But just look what happened to punk, emo, and many types of electronic to a lesser extent.

Just because the "12:15" video was film in an actual real tank from "Tron" doesn't necessarily make the music 80's - nice try though.

I've never seen the video. It's the song itself that I'm talking about. But if the video looks like what you describe then I guess that just highlights the fact that the Strokes themselves are aware that the song sounds like an 80s throwback.

But it's not like they strickly adhere to the whole 80's sci-fi motiff. The band was beamed aboard the tank. That means they were using special efffects used in Star Trek and someone in the 70's would be fully aware of Star Trek 60's vision of future technology of being beamed by the Transporter not the kind of technology they had in the 80's like they used in Tron where the people were atomized by a laser and then reconstructed inside a computer, where the people materialized the same way a graphic artist would create CGI.
