Editor's note: Writeup written from the year 2024.
Some bro with a tumblr made a fun lil quiz that asked users to guess if certain words/combinations of letters were official stock symbols, or zany HipsterRunoffisms. HIPSTER RUNOFF is a now irrelevant weblog from the early 1990s which used many different zany words and phrases to build their brand. At first, many readers 'loved' these phrases, then the blog became an 'old and repetitive' cycle of memes.

The quiz is a 'throwback meme', celebrating the fallen blog, which completely sank after the implosion of the chillwave genre when the blogger Carles made a series of off-base predictions about the indie music scene.

Are these terms stock symbols, zany HRO branded words, or BOTH?
