Julian Casablancas pretty much defined 2000s downtown cool without breaking a sweat. When The Strokes dropped their debut album in 2001, he turned scruffy leather jackets, low-slung jeans and drawling vocals into a global rock obsession. He made looking like you just rolled out of bed seem like pure genius.
He didn't stick to just one script, either. Between fronting The Strokes, leading his experimental outfit The Voidz, and running his own record label, he keeps fans guessing. He picked up a Grammy along the way and still sells out arenas across the globe.
