How do u feel about online media that ‘makes fun of hipsters’? I feel like it usually appeals to people who are on the sidelines of hipsterdom, and have an unhealthy obsession with ‘what is means to be alt.’ Kind of like the people who bought $100 worth of American Appy, a pair of shutter shades, and other miscellaneous ‘look@me’ accessories, but only wear it once to an 80s themed party and spend the whole night saying, “OMG i look like such a hipster. hehe.”
Here are two screen shots from the cartoon
I hope 50% of my readership has purple hair. Should I change the HRO layout/blog title? Did u connect with it on a meta-post-meta-alt-physical level?

Hey look that’s me, yall! right next 2 my other fave site. “Loves it! That is all.”
Watch the video just to hear the use of the words ‘mainstreamer’ and ‘alt.’ (Also if you like Nike spaceships and floating Steve Aokis.)

Did u like the video? What was ur fave part? Does it represent U? Is it for FGGTs?
How do u feel about ‘hipster’ themed videos? I feel like alt audience will always think this is ghey, because ‘most of us’ are alt-er than the entry-level, uneducated alts who are portrayed in this.

Remember the Hipster Olympics? That went s00 alt-viral.
I was also searching for a video that was representative of the ‘poor portrayal of American Apparel mockery’ genre, but I happened to stumble upon an authentic gem that is better at showing

This video is so much deeper than stuff like this.

that video is for FGGTS by FGGTS.
on the REAL, hipster olympics worked because it was basically a love letter to anyone who has ever dreamed of a more authentic and meaningful life, just around the corner in any big city, usa. hipster olympics made fun, but it made fun with LUV. this is just a trifling, poorly voiced, missing-the-point-of-it-all hack job.
fuck everyone associated with producing this doo doo pie!
