    1) Used to be funny, but now everyone reads it, so it’s not cool anymore.
    2) The ghey shit.
    3) The ghey shit.
    4) Yes.
    5) Online mass suicides.
    6) Where does Carles live? In TX, but not Austin. Therefore, he sucks.

    you’re not alt, you’re mainstream. how do all the lames from school find out about you? were you featured in newsweek or something?

    you’re a prick, man. ’cause you didn’t quit when you were ahead, you’re going to die and slow and painful death. like you’re already 100. you’re going to grow lamer and morph into something like stereogum.

    but at least sterogum doesn’t pretend to be alt. so piss off.

    Basically you have a new quest.

    Since u are no longer alt cuz u are so popular and everyone does what you say, and since by definition not everyone can do what is “alternative” (though theoretically everyone could be a hipster), you will ultimately fail if you continue to try to be alt.

    Your only worthwhile quest from now on will be to make mainstreamness better, to use your powers to make streamers more meaningful, happy, stylish, and sexy.

    Do not use your powers to make streamers feel bad about themselves, since by def anything read by you is stream anyways.

    USE YOUR POWERS TO MAKE STREAMERS FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES, BY MAKING THEIR LIVES MORE AUTHENTIC AND FREE.

    Maybe someday because of you alts will no longer be necessary because streamers arent even d-bag faggets anyways and never beat up ppl and never were idiots.
    (Europe altless syndrome)

    Think you’re up 2 the challenge?

    1. Nothing. It’d a blog.

    3. All. You try waayyy to hard.
    4. American Apparel. You claim to be alt/cool/trendsetter, yet you advertise for global mainstream global brands…
    5. Stop wanking.
    6. Why is HRO limited? Because he’s american and doesn’t know shit about the rest of the world.

    Since people say u're mainstream now anyways, you can tell them to go fuck themselves and keep getting M0RE AND M0RE RAND0M. S00 RAND0M ya'll.
    Keep doing what you're doing Crls. Without you I'd actually have to do some work at work.

    2) buried beneath the intentionally bad grammar there’s really intelligent and articulate cultural commentary. I most prefer the posts where you actually say something.
    3) Everyone loves the tits/dick/vag whatev, but don’t go overboard. Have tasteful nudity. Less posts that are all pics, less lame-o remixes.

    Sorry if I’m to literal/honest.

    Can blogging be a profession? Does alt=poor? Does rich=mainstream? How long does alt last on the internetz? How long does alt last before it becomes a revenue stream for an apparel company? Figure out how to make $$$ and retire Crls!!!

    AltBro carcass in alley this morning, stabbed stomach on party pic blogs. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of neon blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the hipsters will drown. The accumulated filth of all their tugjobs and cocaine use will foam up about their waists and all the AZNs and FGGTs will look up and shout “Save us!”, and I’ll look down and whisper, “No.” They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like Steve Aoki, or Pedro Winter. Decent men, who believed in a day’s work for a day’s banger. Instead they followed the droppings of bloggers and mainstreamers and didn’t realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don’t tell me they didn’t have a choice. Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into Electro Hell, all those AltBros and DJs and entry-level alts… and all of a sudden, nobody can find a party to go to.

    1) a) a sarcastic but refreshing and hilarious commentary on the current blogosphere
    b) I feel like I’m reading a one-ended IM conversation
    2) ain’t been readin for that long but i ghotta say the Pitchfork/Steve Aoki post looks pretty damn funny, also a few others but youd be better off just reading your “memorable posts” list.
    3) don’t know
    4) keep providing funny posts
    5) “Should I read your blog?”
    - Yes, click the link provided above, although the posts are a bit occasional

    Face it, you're the new LOLcats. People will laugh even when they don't really understand. Copycats (LOL!) will appear and undermine everything you have worked for… But, for me, that's what I love about this weblog: the intentional self-neutering/spaying.

    Never stop. Or do. The internet generation will find something else to laugh at until everyone else laughs at it and the cycle will begin anew. Then we can just chill, get stoned, and watched Planet Earth all day, rolling in massive piles of Internet Money. You've been saving it, right?

    ALTERNATE POST (RE=MIXXX)

    U rly shud just(ice) set up a nu-blog thats a G8WHEY comp-pc with WIN3.1 onnit. Then make ur blog upd8s in MSpaint & saves them as .bmps on ur C:/drive. OnlE then will u reach tru alts, K?
