For many, seeing The Strokes on the show was a window to the past and a slice of normal life that hasn't been around since one year ago. It's also a nice diversion from the impending stress of election night.
People tuned in from all over, even if it is shady in some aspects. But watching it live on NBC isn't for everybody and you can't hold people at fault for doing that.
It was also a warning sign that some folks are desperate for nostalgia. That or it is a sign that everybody who loves The Strokes is getting old and time is a process that doesn't shut down.
Still, it was a fun performance and many fans wish it could've just been the entire show. You can shut your brain off and go with the flow.
Others were quick to see the massive "OBEY" in the scene behind the band as they performed. This is potentially a reference to John Carpenter's classic They Live starring WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper. It's a fun slice of fiction that is far too realistic in current time.
But yeah, it's a welcome sight and treat for the ears to hear The Strokes. They do indeed sound like 2003 and a time when the biggest fears we faced were international terrorists, endless wars and the impending arrival of the KFC Famous Bowl.
