I haven’t ever really taken the time to tell yall what a true ‘entry level alt’ is. I feel like this picture of keut girls who are ecstatic about the prospect of changing their user pic to a picture that was on the cobrasnake makes them rlly happy.
On this evening, they became the people that they are usually looking at. They are stars.
While they still have a few mainstream tendencies, opportunities like ‘being on a party pic site’ or ’seeing a really good concert’ makes them think seriously about a 100% conversion to alternative lyfe.
Entry Level Alts are between the ages of 11-120. They recently discovered their inherent affinity towards:
- indie film
- indie music
- indie indie
- electro
- American Appy
- reading blogs
- the concept of ‘party photography’
- respecting authenticity
- neon
- pastels
- earth tones
- primary colors
- secondary colors
- headbands
- blog haus
- indie house
- house indie
- French lo-fi-nu-wave
- accidentally being into Iron and Wine
- buying music off iTunes
- thinking stuff that was buzzworthy 2 years ago is buzzworthy today (like the Girl Talk album “Night Ripper”)
There is also a rule that ‘the closer you are to Girl Talk at a concert’ the more likely you are to be classified as an entry level alt who is actively seeking out his/her 1st meaningful alternative experience. If your ‘first alternative experience’ is meaningful enough, then you spend the rest of your life trying to re-create what it meant to experience something meaningful. (Sometimes, all you need is to get buzzed with a group of your closest friends. Entry-Level alts are often in the ‘learning how 2 experiment’ phase.)
Entry Level Alts are full of hope. They believe in the future. They believe in a better world. They are the reason why we are fighting in the electro war–because one day, things will be better. One day, we’ll all be as excited as entry-level alts are.
One day, we will all hear what they hear when they listen to Cut Copy’s “In Ghost Colours.” While I appreciate the album, I don’t hear what they hear. My heart is dark. My neon blood is fading.
Life is worth living. We are living in a unique time. No1 has ever/will ever again experience what we have. Our generation will never die. Marketers will target us forever.
True or False:
There is a little bit of entry-level alt inside of all of us.

True,
at some point people are confronted with the urge to fit in and maybe even be at the top of the group..
later, they will either learn that it’s not worth it pursue that kind of acceptance because it’s meaningless
or
they will pursue it forever and become a DJ / Party Planner / lifer dbag

I hate the cunt who signs off as “ian curtis”
you’re not ian curtis. we all know he died, okay? no need to piss all over his memory by posting comments on hipster fucking runoff using his name.

I don’t want to be an entry level alt anymore. I don’t want to look like those girls.
I’d rather be a mnstrm hpstr and go to hell than look like a poseur.
Boo hoo.

being close to dan deacon = being close to girl talk = entry level alt experience.

brunette on the cobrasnake flic is a strong contender for the perfect alt tits thing, word.
by the way, i would like to read about the altness of the Suicide Girls, a good source of alt tits and pussae, not meaningful enuff to be filed under alt? is Merlin Bronques the only true alt pornographer? is Richard Kern the cool dad of alt porn?

d00d they bought pretty much every aspect of their outfits from american apparel – two tone leggings, weird bra-swimsuit neon thing, stretchy white skirt thing, their souls…etc

the broad on the right is giving off the “i am going to be an alt-life-coach some day and these two friends are just projects i’m working on right now until i move onto something more alt/meaningful” vibe.
the broad on the right is also giving off the “i just had some ambitious sex” vibe. maybe its the finger bruises on her arm.

i don’t think it’s really ‘entry level’ unless you can expect some kind of evolution.

I forgot the last time I smiled that hard.
The last time I wore colors that bright was in 1989.
It was a neon green Le Cock? (How do you spell that brand) pullover w/rad collars.
It was made of some synthetic material that was never replicated again. Rubber meets vinyl meets parachute material…nothing stuck to that shit and it would dry out in 2.3 seconds if exposed to the sun.
The Pullover had a hoodie tucked in the back area of the collar and the whole fucking thing could be rolled up into it’s own little sack with a zipper.
Entry level chick-alts in the 80’s had big ass hair and crazy ass pants that wouldn’t show off their booties.
These girls are keepers.

tru dat about girl talk. i just saw him “perform”/play with his alted out macbook for an hour at lolla. it was less of a show and more of an onstage alt-wannabe clusterfuck. i will never again doubt the mainstreaminity of girl talk after witnessing that juke fest.

this must be a joke.
what mmnstrm FGGTS! dave matthews?? isn’t that in the hipster handbook for what people listen to in their SUVs?
i think its so ghey when 15-16 yr old grrls appear on hipster runoff and leave comments like “i am the girl on the __________, and this is how cool i am.”
this is the downfall of Alt Civilization. HR0 only supports this because the “pedophiles” need something to tug off to.
saying “actually, these girls are _______. i know this because i went to school with them” makes you THE most vulnerable cmmntr on hipster runoff.

dave matthews is the perfect band:
perfect to listen in the car with ur mom is taking u to soccer practice saturday @ 9am
perfect to listen after having a pre-bio 101 exam cramming session(its tough getting all those cell structures into the brain)
perfect to listen to when smoking some ganja for the first time and noticing that u have a musical taste that my grandmother would envy…

1: Entry level suggest there’s a standard to being alt wich wouldn’t be REALLY alt to begin with.
2: Everyone is constant entry, if you stop trying the possible new thing.. you’ll be as sad as someone that still dresses up like a hot topic goth, very soon.

Y’all.
Is there a difference between an entry level alt/altbr0/altbag and an indiekid?
Is there even such thing as an indiekid?
I might be an entry level alt, because I just turned 13 and I love the indie culture, neon, pastels, ON MY PLANNER I USED GEL PENS OF DIFFERENT COLORS AND WROTE RETRO, I’m AZN, I love headbands(and I’m a guy) and I love ‘lectro music.
Carles, please help.
