The album takes its name from the De Stijl art movement, which also inspired the White Stripes' signature color schemes and presentation. Though it was not an immediate commercial success, De Stijl reached number 38 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2002, two years after its release, when the White Stripes grew in popularity. It is considered a cult classic.
