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. Most mainstream-ish [HIGHLY PORTRAYABLE] alts who are REALLY alt aren’t even smart enough to use the internet to do more than social network/upload photos/change user pics/write on walls.
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
<3 entry level ’searching for my inner alt’ alts <3
I wish I could have been there 4 this.
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!

You may or may not want to read “The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or, Don’t Trust Anyone Under 30)”. There’s an article in Newsweek about it, and how it’s dumb. The article may or may not have been written by a reader of ‘the hipster runoffs’.

On another note…can robots give/recieve tugjobs? I feel like its important that we funnel money into the research of artificial tugjob intelligence, before some future alt bro gets his junk ripped off by a robotugger 9000

that video does not make any sense. humans have not developed technology capable advanced interplanetary travel, for example: the omega nebula is 6,000 light years away–impossible to reach. also, those crystals are not a real energy source, we are still using gasoline/petrol. steve aoki would not be able to survive in space because it is a vacuum. all the liquid in his body would begin to vaporize and the radiation from the sun would destroy him. plus you wouldn’t be able to hear his music or any sound in space. steve aoki would not disrespect his fans like that either because then he’s just a rich AZN, not a famous rich AZN. also, that robot cannot teleport because that technology has not been discovered yet. we also haven’t discovered alien lifeforms like the mainstreams that beam the ‘hipsters’. there are other flaws but i know you are too lazy to read about them (unless you were really ALTNERDATIVE) and i’m too lazy to type them.
the second video was kute and funny because who thought someone would actually wear those? but i think the girls are definitely out of my allowable age range, which hindered my alt BRONER.

if hipsters are so easy to predict by mainstreamers now then does alt-ness need to kick it up to the next level to stay on the cutting edge? food 4 thought.

al gore acknowledges hipsters??
i live in dallas and no one knows what the fuck a hipster is.. except the hipsters that live downtown in their shabby houses. and the dropouts over in denton..
im not a hipster, nor a mainstreamer, not an alt, not a.. not really anything haha, but whenever my [obviously mainstream private school] friends see hipsters they label them as “artsy fags” and im like THEYRE HIPSTERS!!.. and theyre like WHAT?! and honestly i dont know how to answer that question.
i think the hipster reign is only famous inside of the scene. anyone outside of the scene doesnt know what the fuck it is..

american apparel has ruined a percentage of the population.

SCANDALS! SCANDALS! SCANDALS!
MANY OF THE WORST CASES OF RACIAL PREJUDICE IN WORLD HISTORY!
LONG LIVE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!
Barack Obama is a racial minority and does not like racism.
WORLDWIDE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO SCANDALS:
(I) I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed atrocious, racist, hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even until the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.
(II) It is opined that Bill Clinton committed terrifying, racist, hate crimes during his presidency, and I am not free to say anything further about it. ‘Be sure your sins will find you out’ (Numbers 32:23).
(III) What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States? It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.
(IV) I know it may be hard to believe. However, Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency.
- The Disseminating Machine
(There are thousands of copies on the Internet in the U.S.A. indicating the contents of (I), (II), (III), and (IV). For example, one can go to Google right now, type “George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism,” hit “Enter,” and readily find 1,000 or more copies indicating content of (I). For example, one can go to Msn right now, type “It is opined that Bill Clinton committed racist hate crimes, and I am not free to say anything further about it,” hit “Enter,” and readily find more than 500 copies indicating content of (II). For example, one can go to Msn right now, type “George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes,” hit “Enter,” and readily find more than 260 copies indicating content of (III). For example, one can go to Msn right now, type “Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency,” hit “Enter,” and readily find more than 270 copies indicating content of (IV). The contents of (I), (II), (III), and (IV) exist very extensively in all major search engines in the U.S.A. and in numerous search engines beyond the U.S.A. There are thousands of copies in numerous countries around the world. For example, there are countless copies on the Internet in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, etc. Copies in foreign countries (beyond the U.S.A.) are typically written in respective foreign languages through the use of computer programs on the Internet that make such translations possible.)
