Here’s the latest I can confirm about The Strokes and Threat of Joy as of now.
-
The Threat of Joy originally appeared as a track on The Strokes’ Future Present Past EP released in 2016, with a notable music video directed by Warren Fu. This video revisited the band’s public image with a satirical take on footage politics surrounding the supposed OBLIVIUS project.
-
There hasn’t been a widely reported new release or official re-release activity tied specifically to Threat of Joy since its 2016/2015–era rollout, and coverage in 2022–2025 tends to reference the original EP and video rather than new material. For historical context, outlets like Stereogum and Diffuser.fm documented the initial rollout and video around 2016.

If you’re looking for the most up-to-date status (new performances, reissues, or remixes), I can search current music press and label announcements to confirm any fresh developments beyond the 2016 video. Would you like me to pull the latest from music outlets and the band’s official channels?
Illustration: The 2016 video for Threat of Joy is a quirky, cinematic piece that riffs on documentary-style footage and media manipulation, matching the EP’s broader experimental mood.
