How many of yall use PCs?
“follow ur alternative dreams. u can do whatever u want in our alternative economy.” -carles and Greg Gillis
Should I donate my current Mac to ‘the War in Iraq’ and start using a PC? I’m actually kinda tired of ComputerWars. Every1 knows how brand wars go…Eventually we get really tired. That’s why Dr. Pepper did so well after the PepsiCoke Wars of the 1980s & 1990s.
We need to come together and find one solution for each problem that humans have. (This is what Barry Obama will do. He will implement a national dress code.)
I wish PCs and Macs would realize that I am my own person. If I could build my own computer, I would. I only rlly need a lil machine with a few websites. Not like I need what they even offer.
“being yourself”: big in 2k1?

BUT SRSLY…

“software computers is the most punk rock thing that has ever happened.” – Greg Gillis
is “punk rock” the new “alt”?!
i like the ppl in the background. it says that gt can be a spokesperson for technology, but at the same time, chill w/ hot babes and have deep conversations over pizza.
he really sticks it to the man by playing his music. even when people who would much rather be reading a book don’t like it, he perseveres.
CAUTION: GREG GILLIS WILL SWEAT ON YOU. BRING PLASTC WRAP WITH YOU.
i counted 5 uses of the word rock.
but wait! the tbls have turned! gt is praizin us! his mind is blown every day. we are the real artists. i finaaly get it now!

Notice how the only music in this video is a Girl Talk original track (used in the mash up with “Laffy Taffy” on Night Ripper?) Clearly Microsoft is not ALT enough to use uncleared samples in their promotional videos!

questions:
why does hipster runoff hate girl talk so much?
seriously though, I’m not defending him.
i don’t hate his music, but I don’t like it either.
he is like most other hipsters, kind of bland.
just want to know why you hate him so much.
also….
why does every commenter on hipster runoff try to imitate carles?….

yeah DZ is right. GG is just a mnstrm fggt biomed engineer who got lucky in the archaic rmx scene of like at least 2 blog decades ago and went meme. mnstrm meme. He has no authenticity, no sense of ‘what its all about’, and his personal brand is detestable (not to mention unstable)

@edgar apollo, i used to be a hardCORE gt fan. this wz back in ze days b4 feed the animals, and life was simpler. gt wasn’t mnstrm and i remember i could tell some1 that i liked gt and they wouldn’t know who i wz talkin about. but now, i feel betrayed. gregzies is known to the world, and it may be selfish, but i do not like it. so we got divorced, and went on with our lives. gt is dating other people, poeple i would never think hm to date, and i am listening to hm less and less. i have moved on.

@edgar apollo, About imitating Carles: HRO is written in such an infectious voice, it’s hard not to imitate it. I’m glad it doesn’t translate to speech that well; I know I’m not the only one who’s out and about thinking things like “h8 that s0 bad” and “FGGT,” but what annoying slang memes those would make!

This post really kind of nails the fundamentals of “alt/punk/indie”. (They are all the same aesthetic with slight sub-differences. Generally they can all coexist in harmony and “get” each other) There is however one fundamental truth that you have to acknowledge eventually and that is the fact that it’s extremely difficult even for the most hardcore alt to truly be independent of the masses. Really your not looking to be independent of a sub-culture, you just want to be part of the one with the least market share. We all love the underdog. Now the problem is now that all the alts are now using Macs and they just don’t feel as cool as they used to so perhaps the PC will be the “new” alt computer… perhaps linux will make inroads into the alt demographic but remember one thing… Ubuntu is totally mainstream to so stay away from it…. maybe even try on the non-Linux systems like BSD or some other crappy one. When it comes down to it you really just need a working web browser… with web 2.0 you don’t even need real software anymore.

@anony, ia! u were only as alt as yr MacBook/ipod/i phone 4 yrs ago. But now every mstrmAlt has one (or all 3) so PC/Zune r the new Alt.
But not evn! PCs r still 2 mstrm 4 altBros. it doesn’t ~allow them to eggspress themselves creatively w/ photobooth/ upload partie pix from last nite/ run the Rite way~ enuff. so long as Mac fggts continue to feed the apple machine PCs tru Altness will never b.
