The Lonely Island is widely known as the modernized bro-ified version of Weird Al Yankovich adapted for the modern world bc they make zany viral videos. Their brand of humor is the 'it' style of humor for teens on the internet across the USA. Julian Casablancas, lead singer of the Strokes 'collab-ed' with the Lonely Island on a song called 'Boom box.' I am not sure if this video is supposed to 'be funny' or if it is supposed to be a 'real song.' Probs just the opportunity to make a zany video.

The Strokes were widely considered the #1 band of the 2000s, so it will be interesting to see if this viral video promotion hurts or helps the Strokes + JCasablancas solo project. Maybe this was some sort of strategic attempt to be part of the new 'Dick in a Box', getting over 100 million viral video views. Wonder if modern tweens who never heard the hit album 'Is This It' are becoming familiar with the Strokes brand, or if they will just think they are some weird old band like The Cars.

Wonder if the Strokes next album will be a 'real album' that gets authentic praise, or if it will be a parody album. Worried.

Was this video 'good' or 'ghey.'
