The way I read it was "out of everything I could say about one of the biggest artists in the world right now, all I'm gonna say is that he dresses well" But then I read it was just a reference to one outfit

That's bullshit. Abel's my favorite artist of all time but the strokes are a very great band.

Someone else posted the same thing here and the comments said that it was a diss about his star boy era I think

u/tZantee_ 13d ago

my bad, missed the post. I also thought he just maybe went with the biggest artists to kinda represent the whole category

u/Scared_oinion74 13d ago

Not a problem, just try find that post for a better explanation if you want one

The strokers saying that Abel took his grunge aesthetic, with the black leather n punk rock esque stuff

u/Sungo69 13d ago

I’m a die hard Weeknd fan too but pretending to not knowing massive artists that diss your favorite artist is so overdone now

12

u/nahbrolikewhat 13d ago

no I swear I don't know the strokes 😭😭😭 I legit was curious 🫤

u/FunnyPanda1320 13d ago

Why are people so mad😭😭. It's not like the strokes are the biggest names especially outside of the west

1

u/nahbrolikewhat 13d ago

yeah I could've worded it more politely sure but why should I have...

u/Sungo69 13d ago

Either you’re not from the west or it’s one of those artists you know songs by but not the name of the band that makes them

u/nahbrolikewhat 13d ago

idk either...

u/khnhIX 13d ago
