Meanwhile, Casablancas quit drinking, moved upstate, and started a new band, the Voidz. He began writing different sorts of songs. “Human Sadness,” a meandering, eleven-minute freak-out from the Voidz’s album “Tyranny,” seemed to speak to some long-simmering avant-garde aspirations. (Casablancas’s vocals are mostly incomprehensible, and a scratchy guitar solo lasts a full minute.) If “Is This It” is analogous to the Velvet Underground’s “Loaded,” then “Tyranny” is Casablancas’s “Metal Machine Music”—weird, gorgeously antagonistic, and expressly noncommercial.

The cover art for The New Abnormal features the 1981 painting Bird on Money by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. [22] The album's title was inspired by a quote made by former California governor Jerry Brown in November 2018 in the midst of the California wildfires. [23] Brown had responded to the emergency events being labeled "the new normal" by instead calling them "the new abnormal". [24] The wildfires had especially impacted Malibu, the location of Rubin's Shangri-La studio at which the band were recording the album, though the studio itself was left unharmed. This chain of events influenced the band to use the quote as the title for their album. [23] Despite the album title having been revealed in February 2020 and instead referencing Brown's quote, New York Times writer Jon Pareles noted in his review of the album that the title was a fitting description for public life during the COVID-19 pandemic. [25] Strokes singer Julian Casablancas also noted during the pandemic that the title "feels so prescient because of the parallel between something like coronavirus".

Will the idea that life is too mortifying to be taken seriously compute for teen-agers who spend their spare time screaming themselves hoarse at climate protests? They have fought to hone and perpetuate a grammar of inclusivity, in which no one is made to feel insufficient, but so much of the pleasure of listening to the Strokes is in feeling as if you have arrived someplace exclusive, where heartache doesn’t quite register.
