HIPSTER RUNOFF presents: A Global Search for the World’s Most Alternative Couple


Just because two people are alt doesn’t mean they’ll make a good couple. The World’s Alt-est Couple consists of two people who take one another’s alt-ness to the next level. The World’s Altest Couple means the creation of alternative synergy that’s stronger than the bro-mance between Gaspard and Xavi of the Jewstice Band.

The world’s alt-est couple manage to look more interesting than any two people could even possibly be by themselves’. They are even more perplexing than the forever young alt. High Level Alt Couples happen when 2 people create their own society where true-alt love exists and you are only judged by one God–the other person in your relationship. They have a perfect world, and they go thrifting a lot and find a bunch of interesting looking stuff for one another. They listen to every cool new artist and are completely unaware of every cool, new artist. They are cultured, but still manage to have the communication capabilities of some one from 1920.

An Alternative Couple doesn’t live in the same world that regular alts live in. It’s a zen-like state– the only thing that matters is how the other member of the relationship perceives you. Whether you know it or not, it becomes a competition to outdo one another to build a stronger personal brand through zany outfits & accessories.

HighLevel Alt Couples get one another perfect Christmas and Birthday gifts. Most of these gifts are edited thrift store items [via sewing machine/screen print]. The World’s Most Alternative Couple know love like you don’t.

The world’s most alternative couple shares cigarettes 2gether. Gets buzzed 2gether. Read books 2gether. Work on free-spirited arts&crafts projects 2gether. Make friends 2gether and put the friends in awk positions when they break up. Goes 2 concerts and gets in2 mini-fights when an altSlut tries to poach their siggynificant other from them.

Your local scene has a [highly alt] couple that you can’t help but marvel at. We are still trying to find out how 2 people can be so [ALT]. Do yall know?

    FIIIIIIIIIIIRST

    The perfect alt couple is actually a perpetual alt machine that reflects 100% of each members altness back on them and magnifies it

    "Work on free-spirited arts&crafts projects 2gether."

    I've actually walked in on this a couple of times. It's almost worse than catching you dad fingering your mom while watching Sunday Morning.

    If an alt couple get married do they get to write off any purchases from AMAPP…and if they split, who gets the the pre-Kid -A Radiohead albums. Does the more alt person in the relasch get the better albums? What do U think Calezr?

    the most alt couple ever couldn’t exist because they would both find each other pretentious and fake alt.

    she's not alt, that sweatshirt is from H&M, and that guy is just a preppy bro.

    you know those two have never done arts and crafts, they just go shopping together at mnstrm stores and try to pick out the "kewt unique" things

    wouldnt the most alt couple by definition have to be either a gay or lesbian couple? or at least have been gay or lesbian for at least 1.5 years during an experimenting phase.

    Without a doubt Kinetica from Defame:Orlando’s blogsite mentioned in the comment above. The whole town can’t help but marvel (does marvel mean laugh?) at them.
