Hey, remember cocaine? For a long stretch of the early '00s, a decent chunk of the American rock underground was given over to music that would sound good if you were jittery and overconfident at three in the morning. Garage rock, dance-punk, electroclash: all cocaine music. The Strokes were cocaine music. Novelty acts like the Darkness and Electric Six were getting critical acclaim and were getting played at parties. People wore feather boas to clubs. Everyone had floppy Britpop hair long after Britpop had ceased to be a thing. I once watched guys in leather pants light each other's hair on fire at an after-hours party.
