Accidentally said “I’m Stroking it” while referring to listening to The Strokes at work

So I (36 M) was at work (I am a barista) with my AirPod Pros on and my cute (25 F) coworker asked me what I was listening to. I was listening to Room on Fire by my favorite band “The Strokes” (as many of you may know, the Strokes is a popular NYC band formed before the 9/11). I was distracted by Julian Casablancas sexy-ass voice, so I asked “What?” And she repeated “what are you listening to.” I stammered and said “I’m stroking it” and laughed cuz I thought it was a cool joke. Stroking it, like jerking off haha. She looked at me weirdly and said “what” and I said “I’m listening to the Strokes, haha, I’m stroking it. Not like the jerking off thing, I dont do that at work.” And she said “Okay haha.” So my question is, do y’all think she thinks I’m cool and funny? I heard a lot of Gen-Z likes the Strokes and funny people so I think I might have a shot with her.

HELP I GOT TOO INTO PROTOMARTYR

When yall were talking shit about Geese I found out about the inside joke about the flair. I liked Ultimate Success Today but took a long break from listening to them. It inspired me to delve into their catalog and holy shit not one bad song. I’m 24 years old, this shit was made for depressed millennial drunkards from the midwest struggling to afford rent. Nobody else in my circles cares or even knows about Protomartyr. And if I did find one, they’d probably be in a support group or in therapy. And theyd probably be significantly older than me.

What the fuck do I do now? I can’t go around saying my favorite band is Protomartyr at parties cuz I get confused looks, so I just default to saying “Radiohead” cuz at least people know them.

Can you identify every song from the catalog of your favorite artist/band? If so, who?

Pictured: Protomartyr

I genuinely think Protomartyr’s work is so relevant today and has only grown on me to the point of obsession. It’s gotten to the point where I have this useless party trick where I identify EVERY song in their catalogue from just a fraction of a second. (only problem is nobody knows about them)

I also have this with Radiohead but everyone just thinks it’s lame.
