[lookbook social network]
I think that being an ‘activist’ is an important trait/personal branding tool. It’s important to ’stand for something’ and ‘not let the world spiral in2 some bullshit snarky, post-blogosphere cesspool.” [via people who describe bad places as "cesspools"]
I am not sure what the pictured bro is all about, but u can just kinda tell that his message is important. His hoodie has a lot of words, and his face is hidden beneath the shadows. If I had to guess, I would say that the rant has something to do with:
- the environment
- the government
- large corporations
- pollution
- the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay getting ‘beat up’ 2 tell us secrets about Osama Hussein
- Sustainable energy sources
- John McCain
- Sarah Palin meme theory
- women’s suffrage (big mistake, yall)
- Minority rights
- The impact of modern media & ‘how it shapes society’s perception of lyfe’
- How the law should classify transgendered ppl
- Themes from the movie MILK
- Steroids + HGH in professional sports
- The War on Terror
- The War on “brown people”
- NAFTA
- class wars
- poor people not getting as many opportunities as rich white people
- music criticism on the internet
- banning the hypemachine
- installing the hypemachine in all Chevrolet automobiles in 2012 instead of the radio
- Withdrawing from the United Nations
- getting all mad abt celebs who wear fur
- getting all mad that _________ are ‘get paid more than teachers’
- the concept of ‘getting all mad’
- the portrayal of black people in films during the pre-Obama era
- Spousal abuse
- tween violence
- the Obama pyramid scheme + internet hype circles
- Paying Am Appy employees less money 2 make it fair 4 the rest of the world
- other important stuff
Just wanted 2 know: what are YALL passionate about?
Is there stuff that’s happening that yall have aligned ur personal brand with 2 let people know that u care?
Do yall wish that the unabomber wrote his manifesto on a hoodie instead of on a piece of paper?
Do yall think more people would have chilled with the Unabomber’s anti-technology ideas if he was edited/reviewed by J.D. Salinger / Vonnegut / Crichton / Johnny Grisham / R.L. Stine?

There were 2 great ACTIONS taken by this ACTIVIST. purchasing/creating conceptual hoodie. Posing for picture with conceptual hoodie. The world is now a different place with this creation. I expect more people to try this in the future.

Hoodies can be a sign of alt-ness but how much alt is too much

@Carterography, hoodies need to go back to being tween only.

Hipster Runoff is like my favorite R.L. Stine books: Choose Your Own Adventure.
Is it fashion, myspacers worth blogging about, blipsters, the AnCo’s, ginger peen, meaningful tugjobs, Sparks (miss u), or others?
Choose…ur…own…adventure…y’all!
(^this is my new more meaningful personal brand (don’t worry, I still give meaningful tugjobs!))

I think he is one of those anonymous bros who like to fight scientology and hack in people’s myspaces and offer them free gift cards to Macys by signing up for offers. It’s their way of destroying our global economy to make it more authentic.

the history of all existing society is the history of label struggle. mnstrm vs. alt. therefore cast off your hoodies and take to the streets! the alt has nothing to lose but the monthly check s/he receives from the parents for rent, food, and meaningful clothing/music purchases… they have a world to win.
ALTS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!

Entry level anarchist, though I can’t think of any certified anarchobros/bags off the top of my head. Come to think of it anarchism is a pretty entry level set of beliefs. I prefer my personalized political lifestyle brand of post-meaningful/post-ironic monarchism.

@zg*dust, snark (and american apparel) is a defense mechanism to shield alts from the hash world around them run by mainstreamers.
