MEME is a blog post on HIPSTER RUNOFF. MEME is presented by Carles.
What happens if 1 meme changed everything we once knew about memes, changing the way that we meme, and shattering pre-existing notions of memery? Is the world ready for this meme? So many memes–but when can a meme be more than ‘just another meme in the meme economy’?
MEME. Presented by Carles.
Carles asks: Can 1 meme …change the world?

his blog is like the book, the WAVE, where everything starts out seemingly innocent and Naive.
2. Carles will then have a fan base to manipulate
3. Everything on this sight is not what it seems but is already post-ironic-ironic.. It gives a face to pull in suckers
4. This is like a lonelygirl15 blog where out of nowhere, carles will reveal his idenity, and master plan
5. His posts are getting a little more meaningful.
6. Soon his experiment and thesis will be complete, and carles will recieve his masters degree in “psychology and performance art as it pertains to the internet”

@lawlcatz, because “complicated” memes don’t go viral. The plebes want simplicity, they don’t want to think.
I think what this post really means is that Carles wants everyone to help promote his blog so that it will “go viral” and then more people will click on his Denny’s and Kia banner ads and he’ll make more bank and score more cootch.
Carles is like the kid who has just discovered a new word and so he has a tendency to overuse it. The word meme is really old news, which means that Carles is essentially an “entry-level” blogger and not as “radical” or “cutting-edge” as he likes to present himself.
Carles himself is a meme, in other words.

@marcosaurus, the sharks are starting to circle. The Hipster does not seem to be wearing any clothes.
This is the point where Carles either creates a megameme to end all memes and becomes a true Internet God, or else gives us all virtual blue balls and disappoints us terribly.
Is HRO a cheap marketing gimmick, or the beginning of Web 3.0?
Stay tuned for more details.

Meme about memes?

carles, if you’re thinking about ‘coming out’ . . . don’t. that lemur dude did it and ‘look what happened.’ I already have something of a fully developed idea that you’re ‘acnebro’, wear ‘the wrong jeans’, and have a bad haircut, but that you’ve somehow ‘latched on to’ some ‘key’ component of what makes us human / dancer and are MEMEing that vein like a goddamn junkie. don’t prove me right.

dear carles,
kewl ‘culturally relevant meme blogs’ make me want 2 type like a txting tween. i feel worried 4 my ‘credibility as a writer’ when i get ‘hooked on’ these kinds of things. its like when i start tlking in 1 voice at wrk (i.e. kip, azn, fat ‘afro’-american female) and cant stop. plz help. i really enjoy reading ur blog, but its interfering with my chances of ’scoring a gr8 book deal.’

Crlz goes to business school. His ‘relevant’ cultural commenting is kinda like the patrick batemanbro commentary from ‘the american psychos’ movie.
