Carles is one of the most important bloggers in the history of the blogosphere. His posts are consistently meaningful in a meme economy where memes are forgotten within hours of posting. His memes and posts digg deep into your alternative soul, and stay with you forever. It's difficult to do what Carles does--he's consistent, empathetic, and his writing transcends anything ever done by any other human. After every post, an army of entry level commenters leave comments like 'nice post' or 'this post sucks.' No other blog is critiqued like a work of art on a daily basis. HIPSTER RUNOFF is more than just a meme pooper.
As the year 2k8 winds down, we will take some time to celebrate the year behind us. We will help Carles to find out which of his posts made the biggest impact on the alternative eCommunity. While there is a sidebar full of 'memorable posts', only the readers know which posts are memorable. Help HIPSTER RUNOFF. Let HRO know which posts were memorable 2 u.

BUGGER Ive been re-reading HRO from day one and im still by october 2007 when you started posting 5 times a day so it's slow I'll cut to january 08 and let u know...
I AM FOR
- This post is deep. (predicted in february already by tuftsmania. its not so great, but it IS the first good post of 2008)
- Pick your prop (its greatness lies not int eh post itself BUT in that its the first post of the year where Crls is accused of lowering the quality of the blog, and we all know how wrong that anonymous poster was!)
- The cobrasnake tries a new lens
i like READER APPRECIATION POST too
and ANONYMOUS COMMENTER APPRECIATION POST
i like a girl with toothpaste all over her boobies that you posted somewhere there too
the PIT $TAIN @LERT saga was charming too
I remember SIMPLY COLBY too, a myspacer worth blogging about. h8ing private profiles, but - hey! - his isnt. I think thats one of the posts i remember best.
Building a Better Brand: Analyzing the SIGN BEHIND BY DJ BOOTH
Ok im tired I just wanted to give a little love to the underrated and forgotten posts from 2k8.1 to 2k8.3 because everyone is just going to be "OJ!OJ!" and "robot child with ice cream!"
@PYTITZ,
word, bbb was gold
looks some of you fggts got on board only days ago ["first port evverr read on hurr"].
the post that sums it up for me is the one about how everyone who comments speaks in HRO slang.
and now everyone's commenting on their fave post...in HRO slang.
carles you are the shakespeare of genelectro.
thnxgvng post made me tear a little bit
teenagerz interview!
HUMAN AFTR YALL
i think 'HRO: The Game' is wahts in store for 2k9. It could focus around the search for meaning and an authentic personal brand with side quests such as producing electro bangerz, creating internet memes, securing tugs and procuring out of print animal collective albums.
my fave was
iTunes Gift Cards: A Gift From Old People Who Don’t “get” you
and
Humble SkirtBro
and
