Reddit reviews Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011

God, I love oral histories and early aughts guitar rock. I turned 18 in 2000 and these bands afforded me an aspirational level of coolness that; though I would never reach, I continued to strive for during most of my young adulthood. I always kind of imagined members of the Strokes, White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Interpol, Ryan Adams, etc... hanging out, getting high, and owning NYC. I don't know if everyone picked up on this but this article is an excerpt from an upcoming book Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011 . I can't wait to read the rest of this.

It's an excerpt from a book:

Im guessing they're referring to the book since there's so vid for the song that i know of

Ah cool, Amazon provides a sample content with purchase of the book that includes two chapters on JFE. Here are image grabs of those two chapters, if anyone's interested.

Paul's diss on Sarah Lawrence gave me the chuckles. Didn't Ham go there? Oh god, I'm crying laughing at nearly everything Paul has to say, he's so god damn funny.

I am sooooo obsessed with them. I'm reading "Meet Me in the Bathroom" and it's breaking my heart. But also making me fall in love all over again.

If you're interested in what really happened to The Strokes during those much-maligned years, you definitely need to read this.

In UK Oasis made even bigger impact than Nirvana and you can still see Oasis' influences all over the country. Also Oasis seems to be the no.1 band amongst football supporters all over the Europe. Yeah, they were 90s band but because of their big tours in 2000s they kept attracting lots of new fans in 2000s too.

But since you asked specifically about the Millenial bands I'd say The Strokes and their debut album Is This It made really big impact on pretty much every indie rock band we got in 2000s. For example, you can clearly hear Strokes influences when you listen to Arctic Monkeys 1st album.

This is actually really great book about the subject: Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011
