Jack White is my favorite rock star of the early 2000s, the dude is just cut from a different cloth. He's still out there kicking ass, one of the last true rock stars we have left.
I like jack white but he seems real self important and pompous idk I guess you have to feel that way about yourself to really take the cake for yourself, I do like more humble musicians better, plenty of them
As a millennial, these were the first bands that felt like they belonged to me, were speaking to me. Grunge belonged to Gen X. I loved those bands, but these were my peers.
Same! As amazing as older rock bands are, I can’t relate to grunge on a personal level, or Cold War paranoia like 80s rock, or the 70s sex drugs and rock n roll.
'Silent Alarm' is an incredible album. But, like almost every band covered in this video, they never came close to matching it with subsequent releases.
The Killers did so well in the UK, that even now, Mr Brightside is in the UK Top 50 on Spotify (25th), and still in the official top 100 (65th). Not bad for a nearly 20 year old track.
I feel like even though they're incredibly talented they don't take themselves seriously and are very tongue in cheek but without seeming smug or snarky
I love how 4 lads from Sheffield just came out of nowhere in 2006 and almost instantly became one of if not the best Rock band of the 2000s and 2010s so far
As an older Gen Z person who was born at the dawn of this era, I can't claim this scene as "mine," but I can say this part of music was the gateway to me discovering my musical identity as a teenager. I was raised by Gen X parents, and their 80s metal and new wave heavily informed my tastes, but my love and knowledge of 00s rock is entirely my own. This era of music was the soundtrack to my adolescence and all it's ups and downs, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
@@beaubergeron6369 All of those artists are in the Millennial generation. I am curious as well though about Gen Z bands. Maybe it has to do with the music industry now and bands catching on later in life since there is less of a machine behind them. Kevin Parker was 24 when Tame Impala first album, Innerspeaker came out. Julian Casablances from The Strokes was 24 when first album, Is This It was released. Jimmy Page was around 25 when Led Zeppelin's first album was released. The middle of Gen Z is turning 18 this year and I imagine we will see more bands rise up. Steve Lacy is 24. Pop/rap receive more fame younger typically and maybe some indie/solo acts. It definitely feels like a downtrend though.
@@beaubergeron6369 Greta Van Fleet, Maneskin, Royal Blood imo are the best band right now, Tame Impala King Glizzard who are another great band. These bands are carrying rock. Then there’s pop bands that some people consider rock but aren’t who are Imagine Dragons, Twenty One Pilots, Cigarettes After Sex There needs to be a new rock revolution that needs to happen in the rock genre, rock music is slowly falling off with people like MGK and Yungblud. If bands find a new sound that has a good message to the younger generation then a new revolution would begin
@@beaubergeron6369 Not really, most of Gen z heavily listens to rap music. The ones that do listen to rock tend to listen to bands from the late 80s to early 2010s. Can’t really think of any modern bands that have captured the likes of gen z. There is an audience for rock though, as we’ve seen how that demographic has accepted bands like Deftones and stuff.
I relate to this almost exactly. I’m surprised he left the black keys out of this video. And gen z definitely has good rock acts out there they’re just small and you have to see them in little clubs. Which is cooler to me anyway.
I was really into pop punk as a kid, but in high school my friend showed me the White Stripes, Strokes, and Arctic Monkeys. I was a bit late to the party at that point, but they instantly grabbed me and opened up a whole new world of music that felt so fresh and fun to discover.
Dude I was so late; only reason I got into this type of music is because Catfish and the Bottlemen and I was like 17. My friends showed me AM, Strokes and White Stripes and I just fell in love. AM and Catfish practically forced me to pick up a guitar because I wanted to learn their songs. I’ll be 25 this year and I owe these bands so much for making me want to play guitar.
@@connordougherty9860 That’s awesome man! I also started learning guitar at 17. And heck yeah, Catfish is great too. I actually only discovered them a few years ago, so pretty late to that one too haha.
One of the top best rock bands in the scene the last couple years, one of my top personal favorites, they put on hell of shows to if you look up their live sets at the least.
@@robbiematthews168 love cage the elephant. Matt Schultz crowd surfed on top of me back in like 2017 at the When We Were Young Fest. Best night of my life

For sure. White Stripes have a chance at being inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame this year and honestly strictly for 7 Nation I think they’ll get in. They deserve it. 7 nation was the song that made we wanna listen to other songs by the band and learn them on guitar
This era of rock music came at the right time as NuMetal & Rap/Rock acts was over saturated on Alt Rock radio. You did forget to mention Muse as they also peaked at this time with Time Is Running Out, Hysteria, Knights of Cydonia, Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, & Uprising.
@@iliketrains3495 Muse predate the bands in this video - pretty sure their debut came out before the turn of the millennium - But the real point here is that the 'New rock revolution' was never any sort of organic movement, more a facile attempt by the NME to narrativise and claim ownership over the slew of early-noughties guitar bands that came to prominence. There is absolutely nothing that links Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem, say, other than enthusiastic reviews in the music press. ps. I remember the terribly named iLiKETRAiNS, fun band!
Muse was apart of the Post-Britpop movement, a period in the late 90s/early 2000s where a slew of British alternative rock bands either strove to or were labeled as the next Radiohead.
Thank you for mentioning The Fratellis. I feel like they don't get enough love compared to some of the bands from this era, but they are absolutely amazing. Also, I feel like you should've included "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" from Modest Mouse too.
This is a complete throwback to my youth. What a time for Indie/Rock this was. Increadible to see what legenday Albums were released within these 6-7 Years.
The Strokes are the genre defining band of the post garage revival. They were instrumental to its inception and with The new abnormal are till keeping it alive to some extent
I agree! i just started listening to the strokes heavy this year & have heard every other band, their music is the most timeless in my opinion I'm 25 btw, they've inspired me to start my own band, you guys are about to witness another rock revolution it ain't over yet ;)
Funeral was a baroque masterclass of a record. This is the first vid that connected that to this rock revival of the 2000s. That's the wonderful thing about music. You think you know then someone has this awesome realization you never thought of.
The White Stripes were a massive influence on me when I first started learning guitar around the same time they got really big. Jack White was the shit. That whole Garage revival thing was for me and many of my age group what Grunge was for the previous generation. Came and went just as quickly as well.
The hives are so heavily underrated. Their catalogue already had so many arrays of garage rock noises. The beauty of it all is their sound had an identity of rock stripped down right to its roots with a tone of aggressive rebellion in their sound. Additionally, they already had an aesthetic to approach with which was truly admirable, 5 guys coordinated in black and white suits. Heck this was the band that made me get into music as a matter of fact and made me want to pick up a guitar. Howlin Pelle Alqmvist is considered to be one of the greatest frontman’s ever to exist and Their live performance was and still is considered to be a once in a lifetime opportunity . I wanted to go see them in Europe this year along with my other 2 favourite bands the Arctic Monkeys and Blur. Alas , I do not have a job atm , It’s such a shame , upon graduation , I genuinely am not able to be stable enough in this phase of my life to fulfill my bucket list of seeing these 3 live. Thanks for making this video , it literally hit all parts of all my musical influences and 🐐s. Insanely detailed and well made . ❤️
@@tiredcerulean I swear , I legit just tell people if you wanna know what they are about just listen to the 2002 album “your new favourite band “. The title says it all really
i just wanted to say, your editing, style, voice, and just your videos in general are extremely well made. im actually shocked that im not watching a docuseries or paying for this so thanks for making em. my music taste has been steadily expanding and most of it is thanks to you.
My favourite albums from this era (mentioned in the video): 1 Arcade Fire - Funeral 2 The Strokes - Is this It? 3 Arctic Monkeys - WPSIATWIN 4 LCD Soundsystem - SOS 5 Franz Ferdinand - s/t 6 Interpol - TOTBL 7 Bloc Party - Silent Alarm 8 The White Stripes - WBC 9 The Libertines - Up the Bracket 10 Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Great video as always! If I could make a recommendation, it would be super interesting to see you make a video about the windmill scene sometime. It seems crazy to me that bands like black midi, black country new road, squid, horsey and many more all have roots in this place.
These were the final days of MTV actually playing music videos, before reality TV set in. Skateboarding turned me on to a lot of these music styles when I was in high school.
As usual, this is a great video and you cover a lot of ground in it. Just one little... typo? thing - When you talk about how Mick Jones of the Clash worked with the Libertines, the image you show it of Joe Strummer.
This is the kind of music that got me started on my music journey but it only exploded during lockdown it just so happens that for my second gig it was Pete Doherty who has gotten over drug addiction and was singing all his best songs from his libertines and babyshambles days
I would love to see a video on 80s college rock if it hasn’t been done already! u2, r.e.m., replacements, pixies, smiths, lemonheads, dinosaur jr., etc
Yeah, not enough attention has ever been given to the college radio era. Which was actually the MOST IMPORTANT ERA. Now, a lot of people, including me, retroactively include both 70s punk explosions(US&UK) and the proto-punk of the late 60s and early 70s. But for me, the zero year for alternative is 1979.
I dunno, I think that's a bit of rose-colored glasses. The (indie) music kicked ass, sure, but after 9/11 everybody felt like they were waiting for the other shoe to drop. The decade felt like something was wrong under the surface, like the 90s had gone rancid.
@@sageburner127 It was cool for most other countries outside the US and the UK. The 2008 financial crisis didn't fuck up many countries the same way either
This was a PHENOMENALLY well constructed video. As someone who is only recently getting really into rock music, you gave me so many new songs/ artists to try/ so much info I didn't know!
As someone who lived their teen years in the 2010s, I think it would be worth a video to talk about Cage the Elephant, the Growlers, the Black Keys and the rest of their peers of the time.
Mechanical bull, come around sundown and their latest one might be my top three for me, of corse giving cred to the album with sex on fire, crawl, use somebody, closer..etc
Honourable mentions: The Music Tom Vek The Coral Kasabian Foals The Streets Bloc Party Jamie T The Maccabees also need a mention. Favourite band since 2006-2015
i'm pretty sure you could do a fantastic video about John Frusciante (guitarist of RHCP) im not sure what would the topic be but his life was so full of things, some good, some bad. There is a lot of potential for a video especially with editing style of yours.
To grow up as a rock musician in the 2010s and not having my own big rock movement, its tough because I find myself always yearning for the past and reliving hype through videos and reading stories, but there are still a lot of interesting bands lingering in the underground, waiting for their time to come, hopefully I can be part of that revival when it comes again.
Great video! I started college in 2001....just before 9/11. And this was my entire soundtrack. Then MGMT and Animal Collective's MWPP hit around 2007/2008....and that was a whole new era for me. But the videos almost over....and I haven't heard The Kills mentioned yet. Their debut album & Midnight Boom are STELLAR.
This era of music always had a special significance to me in that it was one of the final great eras for rock music in general. It was quite possibly the last time in which somebody could say "Pop is dead, rock will live forever!" and actually be taken seriously. There were some publications at the time that "trashed" this sort of music, calling it "Landfill Indie" because of how many bands adopted that sound. Could you blame them? It was great music that still appeals to this day.
They say you’re the music you listened to in high school. Thank you for taking a look at a big chunk of me. I may not know all these bands, but this sound has a place in my soul.
When I was 15 years old in 2001, I didn't have a single friend that wasn't in a band. In 2023, I fear, (unless its rap) most kids nowadays are missing out on growing up in a 'Scene'. To be apart of a musical wave you can emulate with your mates is something I would want for every generation.
Well yes...Rap is the new Rock. Kids are rapping and producing eclectically in emulation of their idols and peers. "Scenes" don't really work anymore with the internet, but there's large and diverse communities of creatives who aren't held to specific geographic regions - it has it's good and bad parts.
There’s something in the way Julian Casablanca’s sings that very few other singers on this video can match. I love a lot of this music but i always come back to the strokes and not many other bands
The Strokes, Interpol, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Crazy how we haven't had rock albums as good as Is This It, Room on Fire, TOTBL, WBC, Elephant since
This is MY music. I got Whatever People Say as a present for my 15th birthday two months after it came out. Strangely, first got introduced to Jack White through the Raconteurs, not the White Stripes but just like you connected it all here, it connected in my life as well.
Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, The Killers, The Strokes, Linkin Park and some of Phoenix's earlier stuff were so good!! Those guys carried rock in the early 2000s when it was on life support.
I love that you put Linkin Park in there even if it's not in this sub-genre at all. They get lumped into the Nu-Metal / Post Grunge crowd which a lot of it was bland depressing rock. But LP had such a knack for dynamic sounds and the catchiest melodies. Even more though, the talent of Chester's haunting vocals was fucking unreal.
@@Mik3yLow Linkin Park released "xero" their real first album in october of the year 2000, Franz Ferdinand's debut came in 2003, The Killers' "Hot Fuss" was 2004, Phoenix's "united" which I'm gonna assume you don't know came out in 2000, "Is this it" by the strokes was released in 2001 and the oldest was the white stripes in 1999 with the iconic self titled "the white stripes".
The period of time from 99 to 2005 is SOOO underrated musically. Some of the most formative music of my youth was created in that time. The reason it was so overlooked was because we had just gone through grunge, which was amazing in itself, but was the dying throes of the entire music industry and universal culture in general. After that, there would be no more cultural experiences that we all shared together. Things were fractured and split into a million pieces and no one liked the same thing, or even heard of the thing you like, at least locally in your little town, but outside that town, there are thousands that like the same thing as you. The Internet destroyed mass culture, and as it was doing that, we neglected to see the importance of the amazing bands and music we were all gifted from 99 to 2005. I very much miss those years.
Awesome video; you talked about all of my friends and I fav bands. Jack White and Alex Turner are my heroes. Would love a part 2 about bands who continued to make music like this: Catfish and the Bottlemen, Cage the Elephant; I guess even 1975 some songs are post punk.
I'm a gen-X'er who was into punk & post punk in the 80's - but Grunge was my jam. I didn't care much for Nu-metal and most of pop-punk (although I did/do like some of the Emo songs which are pop-punk adjacent). So the garage rock scene was a breath of fresh air for me - I enjoyed most of the bands you highlighted. It never reached the heights of grunge for me - but many of my grunge heroes were already dead, so it at least was quality guitar-driven rock.
Congratulations on this channel - not many talk about these bands and with so many informations - i remember very well when all these band were out , i aslo saw quite some of them live at the time -
I love these videos about how bands influenced the stuff your still hear today. I was expecting the band Refused in here, their album The Shape of Punk to Come (1994) had an immense influence of big bands who credit them as a source for their ideas!
This was so cool because I love The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and Bloc Party the most out of all of these bands during this era especially. I love learning this type of musical history, so can you please make a video on big 2010’s rock?
Great video as always. Just a small OCD thing I noticed, at 7:47 you misspelled Reptilia, don't know If that can be changed now. Keep up the great work!
The white stripes are my favorite band of all time. They led me to the strokes, who lead me to the Arctic monkeys, and the ladder grows. Wish some other bands got some credit too, Kasabian and Beck come to mind. But this is just the best era of music in my opinion
These are very much the albums of my formative years, but for me Silent Alarm will always stand out among them. The songwriting combined with the melancholic slant made for an incredible album start to finish.
I didn't catch on to The White Stripes until their 3rd album, but I was blown away. I went back for the first few albums and loved the ride through the rest of what they released. I love some of what Jack has done on his own since they broke up as well.
Video recommendation, how about a video on the 80's Twin Cities scene, with bands like The Replacements and Hüsker Dü, who helped create alternative rock. I've been listening to quite a bit of music from that scene specifically, and I don't think a lot of people know about that scene despite how influential it was to the birth of alternative rock.
Really great video. Obviously Radiohead deserves a little more recognition for this subject (but I can see why you would leave them off as too obvious), but also glossing over Modest Mouse with only a brief mention of one of their lesser albums is criminal! Would really love to see a full video that does Modest Mouse justice.
Love The White Stripes and The Strokes, glad this scene of bands is getting more recognition. Would love it if you dove deep into the post hardcore emo revolution of the early 2000's as well.
Good god I'm glad this scene is getting attention I've been hyping it up for YEARS and got dismissed as landfill indie but it's just the best man I love it
It was last era of Rock, I mean the prime time of Rock. For me as mainly rock-metalhead, kinda sad because hip-hop, isn't that good - i mean the mainstream, compared to Rock.
I was born in 80’ so considered the last of genX. I was 13-17 for grunge and 20-25 when all this stuff was happening. Saw a lot of great concerts. It was all good rock n roll to me
Almost mentioned The Kills but simply as The White Stripes’ shadow because that’s where they got stuck as another a garage rock duo featuring a female. The dead weather was after the Revolution.
@@Middle8 Maybe a part 2? In my opinion The Kills have a sound that balances the White Stripes and the more electronic bands making them unique and not 100% as much as a direct line as they Black Keys for example are.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. That said, you barely mentioned Modest Mouse and you failed to mention At the Drive In, or the off-shoots Sparta and perhaps more importantly, The Mars Volta. I have always loved the Strokes and appreciate how much time you spent on that band. I was 19 in 2000. I had to grow up as an adult during this change and this really hits home for me.
I would love for you to do a video on the women of rock. I know you already did a video about how "the future of rock is female" but I think since that video, the presence of women in rock is increasing.
This is the music that grabbed me much more than the bling pop radio tunes of the late 00s that my classmates dug. I feel like I started to understand myself when I got into this music. Glad The Strokes were able to carry it all to the 2020s with The New Abnormal
Thank you for shouting out The Hives. Fagersta's favored sons have (to my mind) been perpetually underrated. Hell, their first album was titled Barely Legal because they legitimately were, having already established themselves as an unpredictable (sometimes, the stories say, even so volatile that the occasional gig had come to an abrupt end when tensions boiled over between Lead Guitarist Nicholas Arson and his brother, frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, and the two would actually erupt into onstage brawling), must see live act while still attending high school, for crying out loud. AND they didn't even get to go as hard as they wanted to. Burning Heart Records wouldn't even consider distribution to foreign markets until the lads complied with the label's demand to change the band's very name itself, which they had picked to tell listeners that their sound was, in their own words, highly contagious. So, with the addition of a single letter E between the V and S, The HIVES (Yes...as in at first they practically just named themselves "AIDS the Band") were all set to greet their new obsessed fans AKA The Entire World.
I loved the early 00's garage revival. I was young and going to lots of festivals. In the UK there was so many great bands about and the bands from the US were brilliant. Great video as always, you got that era spot on
Jack White is my favorite rock star of the early 2000s, the dude is just cut from a different cloth. He's still out there kicking ass, one of the last true rock stars we have left.
Josh Homme too!
@@andyfeck8760 of course, can't forget Josh Homme. Actually I think it's him, then Jack White.
I feel he does not get enough praise, his voice is amazing, I saw him live a few months ago and it was so good

Tbf, the RHCP also felt fresh with Californicatiom, by the way and stadium arcadium....
it was quite a nostalgia trip, all these bands...

Outside the 60s I say this is the best era of Rock
Same! As amazing as older rock bands are, I can’t relate to grunge on a personal level, or Cold War paranoia like 80s rock, or the 70s sex drugs and rock n roll.
I'm so so glad Bloc Party got a mention. Such a criminally under rated band that never gets covered!
Their recent new album is stellar! Probably my 2nd favorite from silent alarm..
You should check Trash Theory's video on Bloc Party. Silent Alarm apparently left a hell of an impression on where post-punk could go back then.
@mynameisblueskye aka The Cosmic Blue Autie Can't get much of a better album than Silent Alarm
'Silent Alarm' is an incredible album. But, like almost every band covered in this video, they never came close to matching it with subsequent releases.

This era of rock music came at the right time as NuMetal & Rap/Rock acts was over saturated on Alt Rock radio. You did forget to mention Muse as they also peaked at this time with Time Is Running Out, Hysteria, Knights of Cydonia, Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, & Uprising.
Muse arent really from the same kind of movement though
Ironically over saturation is what killed this era.
@@iliketrains3495 Muse predate the bands in this video - pretty sure their debut came out before the turn of the millennium - But the real point here is that the 'New rock revolution' was never any sort of organic movement, more a facile attempt by the NME to narrativise and claim ownership over the slew of early-noughties guitar bands that came to prominence. There is absolutely nothing that links Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem, say, other than enthusiastic reviews in the music press.
ps. I remember the terribly named iLiKETRAiNS, fun band!
Muse was apart of the Post-Britpop movement, a period in the late 90s/early 2000s where a slew of British alternative rock bands either strove to or were labeled as the next Radiohead.
Thank you for mentioning The Fratellis. I feel like they don't get enough love compared to some of the bands from this era, but they are absolutely amazing. Also, I feel like you should've included "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" from Modest Mouse too.
This is a complete throwback to my youth. What a time for Indie/Rock this was. Increadible to see what legenday Albums were released within these 6-7 Years.
The Strokes are the genre defining band of the post garage revival.
They were instrumental to its inception and with The new abnormal are till keeping it alive to some extent
I agree! i just started listening to the strokes heavy this year & have heard every other band, their music is the most timeless in my opinion I'm 25 btw, they've inspired me to start my own band, you guys are about to witness another rock revolution it ain't over yet ;)
Funeral was a baroque masterclass of a record. This is the first vid that connected that to this rock revival of the 2000s. That's the wonderful thing about music. You think you know then someone has this awesome realization you never thought of.
this video just needs to be titled "my taste in music" so i can just send it to people when they ask "Whatre you into?"
The White Stripes were a massive influence on me when I first started learning guitar around the same time they got really big. Jack White was the shit. That whole Garage revival thing was for me and many of my age group what Grunge was for the previous generation. Came and went just as quickly as well.
the yeah yeah yeahs and the strokes are still on my regular playlist . This whole video takes me down memory lane.
The hives are so heavily underrated. Their catalogue already had so many arrays of garage rock noises. The beauty of it all is their sound had an identity of rock stripped down right to its roots with a tone of aggressive rebellion in their sound. Additionally, they already had an aesthetic to approach with which was truly admirable, 5 guys coordinated in black and white suits. Heck this was the band that made me get into music as a matter of fact and made me want to pick up a guitar. Howlin Pelle Alqmvist is considered to be one of the greatest frontman’s ever to exist and Their live performance was and still is considered to be a once in a lifetime opportunity . I wanted to go see them in Europe this year along with my other 2 favourite bands the Arctic Monkeys and Blur. Alas , I do not have a job atm , It’s such a shame , upon graduation , I genuinely am not able to be stable enough in this phase of my life to fulfill my bucket list of seeing these 3 live. Thanks for making this video , it literally hit all parts of all my musical influences and 🐐s. Insanely detailed and well made . ❤️
the hives definitely deserved more recognition
@@tiredcerulean I swear , I legit just tell people if you wanna know what they are about just listen to the 2002 album “your new favourite band “. The title says it all really
Nvm boys I can still see the hives , they announced new US tour tickets
New Hives album out in August 2023!
In summary. Jack white didn’t get half as much credit as he deserves for everything he did for this genre in the modern age
i just wanted to say, your editing, style, voice, and just your videos in general are extremely well made. im actually shocked that im not watching a docuseries or paying for this so thanks for making em. my music taste has been steadily expanding and most of it is thanks to you.
My favourite albums from this era (mentioned in the video):
1 Arcade Fire - Funeral
2 The Strokes - Is this It?
3 Arctic Monkeys - WPSIATWIN
4 LCD Soundsystem - SOS
5 Franz Ferdinand - s/t
6 Interpol - TOTBL
7 Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
8 The White Stripes - WBC
9 The Libertines - Up the Bracket
10 Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
neon bible over the suburbs?
@@punkbjork (mentioned in the video)
Good shout, enjoyed all of these back in the day.
killer list
happy to see you mentioned Interpol. their first 4 releases are excellent (yes, even Self-titled gets some love).
Self-titled is amazing! Very underrated, even by fans.
Recently listened to Turn on The Bright Lights and found it hard to get into. Can someone explain why Interpol is so loved?
@@whyisntitpossible404 Because it's incredibly good.
@@whyisntitpossible404 just keep on relistening and maybe one day you’ll get it
Our Love is my personal favorite
Great video as always! If I could make a recommendation, it would be super interesting to see you make a video about the windmill scene sometime. It seems crazy to me that bands like black midi, black country new road, squid, horsey and many more all have roots in this place.
Love that scene.
These were the final days of MTV actually playing music videos, before reality TV set in. Skateboarding turned me on to a lot of these music styles when I was in high school.
As usual, this is a great video and you cover a lot of ground in it. Just one little... typo? thing - When you talk about how Mick Jones of the Clash worked with the Libertines, the image you show it of Joe Strummer.
Damn, whoops! 😅
Yeah, Joe had passed away by then, too. Major WHOOPS!
Ok I'm not crazy lol
for your next video can you please do how Rock artists inspire and influence by Bob Marley.
This is the kind of music that got me started on my music journey but it only exploded during lockdown it just so happens that for my second gig it was Pete Doherty who has gotten over drug addiction and was singing all his best songs from his libertines and babyshambles days
I would love to see a video on 80s college rock if it hasn’t been done already! u2, r.e.m., replacements, pixies, smiths, lemonheads, dinosaur jr., etc
Yeah, not enough attention has ever been given to the college radio era. Which was actually the MOST IMPORTANT ERA. Now, a lot of people, including me, retroactively include both 70s punk explosions(US&UK) and the proto-punk of the late 60s and early 70s. But for me, the zero year for alternative is 1979.
My fave pic is that one with Alex Kapranos, Alex Turner and Julian Casablancas chatting, just them, the guys that made my teens worth living.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps. They would be my pick for the next rock revolution
Man, the early 00’s are so nostalgic for us Millennials. Things were seemingly optimistic and looking forward. What a time to be alive
I dunno, I think that's a bit of rose-colored glasses. The (indie) music kicked ass, sure, but after 9/11 everybody felt like they were waiting for the other shoe to drop. The decade felt like something was wrong under the surface, like the 90s had gone rancid.
@@sageburner127 It was cool for most other countries outside the US and the UK. The 2008 financial crisis didn't fuck up many countries the same way either
This was a PHENOMENALLY well constructed video. As someone who is only recently getting really into rock music, you gave me so many new songs/ artists to try/ so much info I didn't know!
Something that always had me wondering, what is it with most of these garage rock revival bands peaking on their debuts?
As someone who lived their teen years in the 2010s, I think it would be worth a video to talk about Cage the Elephant, the Growlers, the Black Keys and the rest of their peers of the time.
if you like this kind of music you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
Kings of Leon made some incredible albums during this time.
Mechanical bull, come around sundown and their latest one might be my top three for me, of corse giving cred to the album with sex on fire, crawl, use somebody, closer..etc
Aha Shake is a masterpiece IMO.
totally dude
:)

Honourable mentions:

The Maccabees also need a mention. Favourite band since 2006-2015
TV on the radio rarely gets mentioned
Black Keys needs a mention as well
What about Wolfmother?
Foals is badass.. playing Lolla this year..
@@robbiematthews168 Saw them in December, and holy shit do they absolutely shred
Great video ! I'd be happy to see such documentaries on some other genres, like Post-Rock or Trip-Hop
Have you seen her in your dreams yet?
no
Trip-hop would be so cool for a channel like this to see
i'm pretty sure you could do a fantastic video about John Frusciante (guitarist of RHCP) im not sure what would the topic be but his life was so full of things, some good, some bad. There is a lot of potential for a video especially with editing style of yours.
I’ll never forget hearing PDA for the rest of my life. It was the song that kick started my discovery of all these bands
This could be the best video on UA-cam. It's like you went through my most played on Spotify and made a video about it. Great work!
To grow up as a rock musician in the 2010s and not having my own big rock movement, its tough because I find myself always yearning for the past and reliving hype through videos and reading stories, but there are still a lot of interesting bands lingering in the underground, waiting for their time to come, hopefully I can be part of that revival when it comes again.
Let rock stay dead for another 2-3 decades. It needs it.
Great video!
I started college in 2001....just before 9/11. And this was my entire soundtrack.
Then MGMT and Animal Collective's MWPP hit around 2007/2008....and that was a whole new era for me.
But the videos almost over....and I haven't heard The Kills mentioned yet. Their debut album & Midnight Boom are STELLAR.
This era of music always had a special significance to me in that it was one of the final great eras for rock music in general. It was quite possibly the last time in which somebody could say "Pop is dead, rock will live forever!" and actually be taken seriously.
There were some publications at the time that "trashed" this sort of music, calling it "Landfill Indie" because of how many bands adopted that sound. Could you blame them? It was great music that still appeals to this day.
I AM SOOOO SOOOOO SOOOO HAPPY YOU INCLUDED THE HIVES IN THIS VIDEO I AM SO THANKFUL FR . THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE BAND OF ALL TIME
This was so well done! Best music-based channel on UA-cam without a doubt.
They say you’re the music you listened to in high school. Thank you for taking a look at a big chunk of me. I may not know all these bands, but this sound has a place in my soul.
When I was 15 years old in 2001, I didn't have a single friend that wasn't in a band. In 2023, I fear, (unless its rap) most kids nowadays are missing out on growing up in a 'Scene'. To be apart of a musical wave you can emulate with your mates is something I would want for every generation.
Well yes...Rap is the new Rock. Kids are rapping and producing eclectically in emulation of their idols and peers. "Scenes" don't really work anymore with the internet, but there's large and diverse communities of creatives who aren't held to specific geographic regions - it has it's good and bad parts.
Such a great video. Thank you for making this, and thanks to all the people involved in creating these wonderful tracks.
There’s something in the way Julian Casablanca’s sings that very few other singers on this video can match. I love a lot of this music but i always come back to the strokes and not many other bands
The Strokes, Interpol, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Crazy how we haven't had rock albums as good as Is This It, Room on Fire, TOTBL, WBC, Elephant since
OK, I think this is one of my favorite videos on this platform.
This is MY music. I got Whatever People Say as a present for my 15th birthday two months after it came out. Strangely, first got introduced to Jack White through the Raconteurs, not the White Stripes but just like you connected it all here, it connected in my life as well.
if you like this kind of music you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, The Killers, The Strokes, Linkin Park and some of Phoenix's earlier stuff were so good!! Those guys carried rock in the early 2000s when it was on life support.
I love that you put Linkin Park in there even if it's not in this sub-genre at all. They get lumped into the Nu-Metal / Post Grunge crowd which a lot of it was bland depressing rock. But LP had such a knack for dynamic sounds and the catchiest melodies. Even more though, the talent of Chester's haunting vocals was fucking unreal.
@StoPCampinGn00b bro I didn't care what genres these guys were. I lived off their shit!
Linkin Park was like a decade prior
@@Mik3yLow Linkin Park released "xero" their real first album in october of the year 2000, Franz Ferdinand's debut came in 2003, The Killers' "Hot Fuss" was 2004, Phoenix's "united" which I'm gonna assume you don't know came out in 2000, "Is this it" by the strokes was released in 2001 and the oldest was the white stripes in 1999 with the iconic self titled "the white stripes".
I didn't realize how much I grew into and because of all these bands and genre. It definitely defined my music taste and a huge part of my life
The period of time from 99 to 2005 is SOOO underrated musically. Some of the most formative music of my youth was created in that time. The reason it was so overlooked was because we had just gone through grunge, which was amazing in itself, but was the dying throes of the entire music industry and universal culture in general. After that, there would be no more cultural experiences that we all shared together. Things were fractured and split into a million pieces and no one liked the same thing, or even heard of the thing you like, at least locally in your little town, but outside that town, there are thousands that like the same thing as you. The Internet destroyed mass culture, and as it was doing that, we neglected to see the importance of the amazing bands and music we were all gifted from 99 to 2005. I very much miss those years.
interesting take
middle 8 talkin bout 00s rock, it's a good day
Awesome video; you talked about all of my friends and I fav bands. Jack White and Alex Turner are my heroes. Would love a part 2 about bands who continued to make music like this: Catfish and the Bottlemen, Cage the Elephant; I guess even 1975 some songs are post punk.
if you like this kind of music you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
I'm a gen-X'er who was into punk & post punk in the 80's - but Grunge was my jam. I didn't care much for Nu-metal and most of pop-punk (although I did/do like some of the Emo songs which are pop-punk adjacent). So the garage rock scene was a breath of fresh air for me - I enjoyed most of the bands you highlighted. It never reached the heights of grunge for me - but many of my grunge heroes were already dead, so it at least was quality guitar-driven rock.
Congratulations on this channel - not many talk about these bands and with so many informations -
i remember very well when all these band were out , i aslo saw quite some of them live at the time -
I love these videos about how bands influenced the stuff your still hear today.
I was expecting the band Refused in here, their album The Shape of Punk to Come (1994) had an immense influence of big bands who credit them as a source for their ideas!
Greatly appreciate your perspective showing Detroit's garage rock scene. People stay schleep on the Motor City
im so glad you mentioned interpol. totbl is one of my favorite albums of all time
Such a great nostalgic ride. Thanks for reliving my teenage years. Time to create a huge Playlist 😊
This was so cool because I love The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and Bloc Party the most out of all of these bands during this era especially. I love learning this type of musical history, so can you please make a video on big 2010’s rock?
3 club : Tokyo police club , Two door cinema club , Bombay bicycle club 👍
@@rnrrjsdlI must say, I do love some Two Door Cinema Club
Great video as always. Just a small OCD thing I noticed, at 7:47 you misspelled Reptilia, don't know If that can be changed now. Keep up the great work!
Now it’s my OCD
The white stripes are my favorite band of all time. They led me to the strokes, who lead me to the Arctic monkeys, and the ladder grows. Wish some other bands got some credit too, Kasabian and Beck come to mind. But this is just the best era of music in my opinion
These are very much the albums of my formative years, but for me Silent Alarm will always stand out among them. The songwriting combined with the melancholic slant made for an incredible album start to finish.
Can't help but notice that you used a picture of Joe Strummer when talking about Mick Jones. Clash is my favourite band. 😂
5:07 el man de la foto no es Mick Jones, es Joe Strummer, otro miembro de The Clash.
thanks for musically summarizing my childhood!
So glad Interpol is getting recognition
Interpol is pretty well recognized 😂
I didn't catch on to The White Stripes until their 3rd album, but I was blown away. I went back for the first few albums and loved the ride through the rest of what they released. I love some of what Jack has done on his own since they broke up as well.
My God was this a good time to be a teenager.
Post punk is such a great genre
Preach!
The libertines is definitely my all time favourite. Thanks for introducing so much bands and music here. Got so much to listen！！！
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps. They would be my pick for the next rock revolution
I’m so glad you mentioned Death From Above. They were there from the start and had some of the most consistent music in the scene, love them.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps - they would be my biggest hope for the next rock revolution.
Video recommendation, how about a video on the 80's Twin Cities scene, with bands like The Replacements and Hüsker Dü, who helped create alternative rock. I've been listening to quite a bit of music from that scene specifically, and I don't think a lot of people know about that scene despite how influential it was to the birth of alternative rock.
Really great video. Obviously Radiohead deserves a little more recognition for this subject (but I can see why you would leave them off as too obvious), but also glossing over Modest Mouse with only a brief mention of one of their lesser albums is criminal! Would really love to see a full video that does Modest Mouse justice.
Awesome vid man. Love this era
You might like a band called The Doublejumps - they would be my biggest hope for the next rock revolution.
This is the music of the mid to late 80s babies! Love it
Love The White Stripes and The Strokes, glad this scene of bands is getting more recognition. Would love it if you dove deep into the post hardcore emo revolution of the early 2000's as well.
Strokes have quickly become my #1 artist. Unrivaled energy across many albums.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps. They would be my pick for the next rock revolution
Yeah, they've held up decades later.
Good god I'm glad this scene is getting attention I've been hyping it up for YEARS and got dismissed as landfill indie but it's just the best man I love it
A follow up video with the next phase of rock (as you stated "underground") would be awesome!!
It was last era of Rock, I mean the prime time of Rock. For me as mainly rock-metalhead, kinda sad because hip-hop, isn't that good - i mean the mainstream, compared to Rock.
I was born in 80’ so considered the last of genX. I was 13-17 for grunge and 20-25 when all this stuff was happening. Saw a lot of great concerts. It was all good rock n roll to me
I’m surprised you didn’t mention The Kills, Dead Weather, Autolux, Louis LIV, The Ravonettes, Nine Black Alps, to name a few.
Almost mentioned The Kills but simply as The White Stripes’ shadow because that’s where they got stuck as another a garage rock duo featuring a female. The dead weather was after the Revolution.
@@Middle8 Maybe a part 2? In my opinion The Kills have a sound that balances the White Stripes and the more electronic bands making them unique and not 100% as much as a direct line as they Black Keys for example are.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. That said, you barely mentioned Modest Mouse and you failed to mention At the Drive In, or the off-shoots Sparta and perhaps more importantly, The Mars Volta. I have always loved the Strokes and appreciate how much time you spent on that band. I was 19 in 2000. I had to grow up as an adult during this change and this really hits home for me.
This is a video when I actually know most of the bands and like the songs played! I guess I really like this Era of Rock!
I would love for you to do a video on the women of rock. I know you already did a video about how "the future of rock is female" but I think since that video, the presence of women in rock is increasing.
This is the music that grabbed me much more than the bling pop radio tunes of the late 00s that my classmates dug. I feel like I started to understand myself when I got into this music. Glad The Strokes were able to carry it all to the 2020s with The New Abnormal
This video reminded me of my youth and one important part of my journey with music... Excellent...
Thank you for shouting out The Hives. Fagersta's favored sons have (to my mind) been perpetually underrated.
Hell, their first album was titled Barely Legal because they legitimately were, having already established themselves as an unpredictable (sometimes, the stories say, even so volatile that the occasional gig had come to an abrupt end when tensions boiled over between Lead Guitarist Nicholas Arson and his brother, frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, and the two would actually erupt into onstage brawling), must see live act while still attending high school, for crying out loud.
AND they didn't even get to go as hard as they wanted to. Burning Heart Records wouldn't even consider distribution to foreign markets until the lads complied with the label's demand to change the band's very name itself, which they had picked to tell listeners that their sound was, in their own words, highly contagious. So, with the addition of a single letter E between the V and S, The HIVES (Yes...as in at first they practically just named themselves "AIDS the Band") were all set to greet their new obsessed fans AKA The Entire World.
I loved the early 00's garage revival. I was young and going to lots of festivals. In the UK there was so many great bands about and the bands from the US were brilliant. Great video as always, you got that era spot on
Born in 94, Is This It is the first CD I bought. That era, and what followed is what defined my love for music. Can never thank them enough.
