    In January 2016, The Strokes performed "Threat of Joy" on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, showcasing their evolving sound during a time of resurgence in their career. This performance followed the release of their fifth studio album, *Comedown Machine* (2013), which saw the band experimenting with new textures and style contrasts. Notably, "Threat of Joy" was one of the singles from the band's EP *Future Present Past*, released in 2016, marking their return to live performances after a period of relative quiet. The Strokes had gained a reputation in the early 2000s as pivotal figures in the garage rock revival, and their appearance on *Kimmel* highlighted their ongoing influence in the indie rock scene. The performance featured the band's signature blend of catchy melodies and gritty rock, reaffirming their status as one of the defining bands of their generation.
