this was an epic moment in the history of alt, but a bigger leap for mankind.
fuckin l00serz.
s00 inspiring carles
i dream of dropping out of college and starting an irrelevant garage rock band, touring the country in a beat up broken down van, living hand to mouth, releasing a few albums (pitchfork reviews one, calls it derivative and gives it a 5.3), garnishing a small cult following until rampant drug and alcohol use tears us apart
@joe, nah. stay in college. tour during the summer with your friend whose actually in a 'really up and coming rock band that's kind of a mix of ____ and _____. we were so wasted lykke at every show'
@joe,
feel like I could see myself aligning my personal brand with your band.
keep me updated.
@joe, wierd
wet dreams
getting a job as a claims adjuster
@slappy, u make me want to listen to the three YACHT songs i have on loop for ~37 minuets

one alt dreams of a zany relevant post
@samuel bell maxey,
u mean norway as in the new beach house song right???
@gammazord, no i listen to the radio at my beach house.
these alts are copying 'the notebook;' ryan gosling and rachel mcadams laid down in a moonlit street on their first date. wondering if these alts are gonna have an orgy later then.
my alt dream is to bang Leighton Meester sideways
I didn't read any of this
all these dreams are about self fullfillment in the most shallow, instant gratification kind of way.
I dream of a world where everyone has access to education regardless of age and class, where homophobia is non-existent, where people value their lives and dont plann on dying in "the next electro/contracepto" war.
seriously. Is that dreaming big for hipsters?
you realize this is WHY the whole world hates hipsters.
stop being elitist self-centered spoiled bags of doushe.
@Wannabe,
bro. chill. listen to some washed out with me, all that shit won't matter anymore. we'll go to the beach and lie down, it will be meaningful.
@Wannabe, sounds like somebody needs a pizza and a bottle of wine
@chilisfan, LOL
@Wannabe,
what's an authentic alt like you to do in a post-authentic world?
@Wannabe, TL;DR
@Wannabe, lol, do u meta-'get it'
s0 confused
not sure if i should feel superior or inferior to your relevancy
@Wannabe,
r u MLKjrbro?
@Wannabe,
u sound like hackerbro
@awjeezd00d, not a hacker. not a bro either. just alt w.heart.
One alt dreams of living in the wilderness for 2 years and constructing an EP from field-recordings of flora and/or fauna.

to capture your attention
@striz, to make the alt report
I dream of reviving Chihuahua City, Mexico
i wanna be the next dave chappelle only without the tv show but with the equal amount of admiration for the quality of my material and confusion as to my whereabouts. thats my alt dream
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck....it's depressing.
Want to join the band Beach House and marry Victoria Legrand. If that fails, want to become CEO of AmAppy once Dov Charney becomes old and grey (via wanting to save the brand from the mnstrm). If that fails, think I may become an alt-pastor - feel alts need "something to believe in" (via crossing existentialism with evolution, Christianity, and Unitarianism).
want 2 dream again. thx crls for posting this. you made me feel 'inspired' 2 b alt again.
To grow the perfect alt breasts

Leave the juggalos alone!
I dream that the inside-memes I have with my friends can become the memes the whole world retweets.
@jjj, So ambitious, bro, sounds like the 'ideal alt wish/dream.' Wish i would 'dream big/alt.'
I just want to be 'relevant' in my high school.
@Tahm-br0, i wanted to be 'relevant' in high school too, but it was filled with bros and broads who wore 'A&F' and liked 'Rihanna.' my dreams were shattered, then i started college and found many other 'relevant' peeps and engaged in 'drinking binges' and 'gay alt orgies'

Getting snapped by cobrasnake and sending the blogging world in a frenzy trying to decide if that's Selena Gomez until the point I'm quasi-famous just for looking like a quasi-celebrity.
Love Grace.
Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung Around.
But those dreams have remained and they're turned Around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead you.
Back here where we need you.
Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the Spot, welcome back.
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
@Andrew., is it alt to wear butterfly collars? cause i hope so
become famous and then throw it all away like lindsay, then proceed to make a fetish out of my self-destruction via having my feelings matter to strangers. i dont want to be alone but i dont want to be with people either.
Carles,
This one hit home. Felt like the late 2k9 equiv of Zappa's We're Only In It for the Money
i don't usually listen to hyped up blogworthy buzz bands, but when i do....i prefer the xx
@tommy john, like x(x) 1,000
@tommy john, The most interesting alt in the world???
dear carles,
i am interested in starting a meaningful adult altrelationship with u.
add me back on twitter: twitter.com/alisasucks
jesus carles. its ur fault. they think its kewl. *shots*
"Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"What happened, did you fall?"
"No, I'm fine. Please leave me alone"
"You've been drinking."
"I haven't been drinking."
"Why are you lying in the middle of the pavement?"
"You could've broken my neck!"
think i might recite this at our school's open mic.

@A.W.,
i think this could werk out
also must b down w/ kittehs n radiohead, and 'pretty chill' too.

<3
To wander around til I write the great American novel, inspire millions to live their alt-dreams, be considered the voice of a generation that I accidentally named, get all my friends famous, slay a hot mocha chick, write novella about slaying a hot mocha chick, die a bitter Republican voting alcoholic and then experience a posthumous/ironic backlash from intellectual bros who used to like me but came to realize my shit is only for over idealistic college hippie bros. Feel like Tao Lin and/or Carles will beat me to it tho.
One alt dreams of being 'hired' by the HRO Corporation.
One alt dreams of selling 'merch.'
One alt dreams of being a blog someday.
One alt dreams of jeannie.
Just want to 'connect' with yall on a human level [via bluetooth/facebook/iPhone]

REAL ESTATE - REAL ESTATE - REAL ESTATE
"Fifteen alts found murdered execution style in Chinatown, details at eleven"
dream of moving back to my 'mad relevant' city instead of living in 'shitty second rate mediterranean capital' with altbros and hoes who still believe in dying in the electro wars (via fidget house)
@altina,
get out of Spain and go to Berlin. Berlin dub techno > fidget.
Wondering if Zach Braff would film this???
I'm dreaming that satellite radio fires you and then you shut the fuck up and I never have to listen to your self absorbed "hipster" (whatever,... aka asshole) bullshit drivel ever again,
signed, your biggest fan, now please go die.
To be quirky and unique, in a way that's totally accepted and cool.
just want a pizza and a bottle of wine y'all.
To be an Alt secretary for a up and coming indie record label that brings back riot girl DIY spirit and uses republican Bourgeoisie stomping grounds for our alternative agenda while Ironically sporting Ralph Lauren gear and Tory Burch accessories to blend in.
Then maybe moving to an un alt city in the suburbs close to an alt city and making it a creative and culturally relevant place to be with a few of my close alt friends. creating thought provoking guerrilla art and meaningful chillwave/psychedelic/mathy music.
IMA START THE BEST VYNIL COLLECTION THEN CHARGE FOR ADMISSIONS.
NICE! post n pics r gnarliest..
