It's about the early 2000s indie rock surge, Strokes, Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, etc.

You would be treated like a King, especially at Riker's Island, where you'd be staying. Even the female correctional officers would be standing in line.
I did a stint in Rikers island once 32 years ago. Fun times.
You're street cred just jumped up 75%.
How long were you there for?
RIP mags

Not long at all. Just a little case of trying to scare someone into a confession. Case was dismissed a year later. I was Innocent after all. Lawyer got me out after a 180 80 motion was filed.

Pretty crazy in there, eh?
one dude tried pressing me but, that ended quick when the dorm leader, who was a tank, yolked him up and put him in check. I was his spades partner and we won every game. RIP mags

I humbly proclaim myself the rock, metal, punk, alternative, indie, prog, psych, industrial, electronic, new wave, jazz, experimental, noise whatever guru of this place. Why you think Im shouted out in the OP by my boy br7? Lol. I love all decades and most genres. You gotta mix things up because its lame to only listen to one thing, and rock is very broad with 100+ subgenres.
So much cool sh*t out there, but you gotta search for it these days.
As I mention in one of my earlier posts here from years back, go to RateYourMusic.com and hit up the charts section. There you can sort and find all the best rated albums by users in any year and/or genre. Like you can see all the greatest albums of 1975, 1992, 2008, 2022 or whatever year with all genres mixed up, or you can just search for the best alternative rock albums ever, or the best death metal albums of 1995, or the best psychedelic rock from the 1960s, or straight up the best albums of all time. Whatever you want. Just use it as a guide. Can also look up any band to see all their album ratings.
I rate all the albums I listen to on there (just passed 10K ratings), since I basically jam music all day when I work from home, go to the gym, hang with the bros, or post on here.
I also watch some Knick games with music on too. Of course I keep the game volume on as well to hear Breen, Clyde, and the crowd, but some good background music adds to it if you keep it low. Helps thats Im also usually stoned.
Keep rock alive people! Seems most only listen to dumbed down pop and rap now because that’s whats being pushed. Wasnt always like that. They used to have good music, and lots of rock/metal, on MTV, the radio, and just in general mainstream culture.

10k ratings you have? 10k albums you listened to? My lord, you got some good attention span. I'll be lucky if I can listen to a new album a month lmao.
Trends come and go, but rock will always live.... I think Brandon Flowers said something like that before he closed out a Killers concert I went to.

Lol yes 10 thousand albums. On average I consistently listen to about 5-10 a day, mostly ones I havent heard before. Over the span of the last of 2-3 decades, it has added up obviously haha. I just keep em rolling all day when I can, and get them from various sites. Also I play some piano/synth myself.
And yeah Im a fan of Interpol and The Killers. They’re more on the poppy side of stuff I listen to I guess, but have some great stuff for sure. Was just listening to The Killers last album the other day actually (they released an abridged version of it without the monologues).
Id name some of my favorite bands, but I wouldn’t be able to stop once I start man. Too much.
Ill just drop one of the weirder ones:
