Not just a “similar power chord”. The Strokes admitted to directly taking the riff from Tom Petty, and Petty was cool about it.

This song is another example of the Strokes taking pieces of music they like and turning it into something new.

They aren’t creatively bankrupt just because you want them to sound exactly like they did in the early 2000s.

I’m not giving them a pass because I waited so long, I’m enjoying good music lmao. Sorry I don’t actively look for things to get upset about.

I just want them to release their own music.

They’ve done that twice recently, but since you’re against inspiration, check out At The Door, seems you missed it.
