TIME Magazine is a popular magazine from the pre-blog era that still utilizes their brand to make money off online website advertising. Not sure what they even write about. Get it confused with 'LIFE' and 'NEWSWEEK' usually. Because they have a 'respected brand' that is older than blogs, what they say 'means more' than most websites/weblogs. It seems like they made a list of the top blogs of the year 2k10, and popular alt mp3 culturally relevant weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF has basically 'topped' their list.

Not sure if this list is really 'legit' or if it is just some sort of traffic hoarding scheme involving some of the most trafficked blogs on the internet.

HIPSTER RUNOFF is a controversial blog that usually over-exposes particular indie buzzbands, putting them under the immense critical scrutiny and commercial analysis, demanding more out of our favourite artists than many generic indie weblogs ask 4. Many times, the writer 'Carles' can get controversial, writing about gender issues, tween rights, tween issues, racial beef, society, and meme-based culture. The site has been around for a year, but has generated tons of blog buzz from twitter feeds. #trending_topics

Based on the description, do u think TIME MAGAZINE 'gets' HRO, or are they just trying to pretend that they 'get' it

Hipsters — those proud members of the tight-jeaned, trust-funded alt set (a.k.a. this guy) — are easy targets on the Web, but Hipster Runoff finds a fresh way to gently poke the ribs of the "bed head" set. Surveying the fashion and culture trends of hipsterdom, the blog alternates between outright spoofs and serious slams of fashion's posers and prophets, with cutting commentary of ongoing discussions covering everything from alt-rock to bro culture. It becomes clear from all this that hipsters have a little too much time on their hands, but the blog makes it fun by playfully mocking their obsessions.

Not sure if HIPSTER RUNOFF should be proud to be on this list. Seems to embody 'snark', 'kitties', 'politics', 'low-level meme' and iPhone Apple blogs.

It seems like Pitchfork Media is on the same list. This means Carles and his HRO blog will likely 'never escape' from the shadow of the Pitchfork.
