The Strokes are obviously the closet band of a lot of people who post here.
My guess is that they were probably a bit like Pearl Jam for a next generation who heard them on mainstream radio and MTV and then got into the better music that they emulate and therefore maintain a soft spot for what they came by first.
I never had that middle ground, because when I was in high school it didn't exist (aside from maybe the Police and U2 of course) it was straight from mainstream radio to Confusion is Sex for me!
