I don't think they're more popular now than back then... their newer songs are 5-10 times viewed less on YouTube than their hits from about 14-15 years ago (No One Knows, Go with the Flow, Little Sister, Make It With Chu - all these have more than 30M views each, No One Knows has 170M). Their only newer track that clinched 10M views on YouTube is The Way You Used to Do.
I'd say that even Paramore are way more popular than them.
Also, in comparison, The Strokes have 12 songs with over 20M views on YouTube, of which 2 tracks were released 2 years ago. Also, they have 3 hits with more than 100M views, one of them is Reptilia that has 215M.
