Direct answer: The latest widely reported news about The Strokes and their "Threat of Joy" material dates back to 2016, when the band released the "Threat of Joy" video as part of the Future Present Past EP. There have been no credible reports of new developments or releases related to "Threat of Joy" since then.
Details and context:
- The "Threat of Joy" video premiered in June 2016 and was directed by Warren Fu, serving as a companion to the Future Present Past EP. This release followed a string of limited 2016 material and media coverage around the EP tracks, including OBLIVIUS and Drag Queen, with the video satirizing earlier footage and the controversy around a previously planned video.[1][3][5]
- The video and EP were noted for reuniting the band on-screen for the first time in several years, featuring a narrative with political and satirical elements, and received coverage from multiple music outlets at the time.[7][9][1]
- If you’re looking for fresh updates beyond 2016, I can search current sources for any new statements, tours, or releases related to The Strokes and any potential reissues or new videos. Would you like me to look up the latest news now?
If you want a quick follow-up, I can pull recent reporting from music press and official The Strokes channels to confirm whether there have been any post-2016 developments on this topic.
