view video HERE if above vid doesn’t work…think they took it down from youtube bc of me. Worried.

The goal of any union between any man and woman is to prove to one another + the world that your bond is stronger than any other bond between any two other people in the history of the world. Your relationship must have a goal. It must generate a product, brand, or aesthetic that lets people know that your relationship is the most meaningful bond ever–even more meaningful than the bond between God and his cranky ol’ wife. It seems like this relationship between ‘Jeff’ and ‘Erin’ is incredibly meaningful, and not just because they are breaking racial barriers.

Would u ever make a viral vid with ur soulmate about yalls relaish/eternal bond?

It really feels like we are entering the golden age of ‘ppl trying to go viral so that they can feel 150% more meaningful’ than the status quo of their lives’. I have always wondered what it will be like to ‘plan my wedding’, like if it will be stressful, and I will just say ‘yes’ to everything that my fiance suggests. But now it seems like the goal of a wedding has to be ‘creating a crazie viral moment’ that the entire internet can share. Then u end up being interviewed on the Today Show or something as a ‘human interest’ piece that inspires Middle American women 2 resent their non-creative type work horse simpleton husbands more than evr.

I feel like this video sort of documents the struggles of small AZN people, and their desire to be white. It also documents the struggles of plain white females, and their desire to have a creative identity. Just feel awkward when white people date ‘outside of their race’ in an effort to ’seem more cultured/less boring’ or something.

Ultimately, I feel worried about their relationship. I am not sure if they will ever create anything more ‘meaningful’/'viral’ than this video, even if they create a child. It seems like they would probably have to make a viral video of their child’s birth, perhaps something involving kittens coming out of Erin’s womb. JeffAznBro is probably the ‘creative’ one, who can make ’sweet vids’, but their end product kinda worries me. Even if this is supposed to just ‘mock’ traditional movie trailers, the ideas+brands+gimmicks that they have imported to represent their story prove that they have no identity. Like they have a vision of ‘how they are supposed 2 feel’, but have no ability to feel anything real. Seems like their whole relaish is just ’smoke and mirrors’, kinda like Hollywood/Bollywood.

Do u think Jeff and Erin are going 2 ‘make it’ because they are two like-minded ppl who created something beautiful?
Will their AZN + white identities keep them 2gether forever?
Is their movie not believable, because no white woman would go on a date with a tiny AZN man, even if he was ‘AZN buff’ [via karate + xtreme sports]?
Do u ever think they are on a date, and some1 thinks that she ‘adopted’ him from a North Korean adoption catalog of AZNs?
Do u think Jeff & Erin studios could produce my script for Garden State 2: Braffy’s revenge that I have been working on?

r u gonna get married or be alone 4evr?
r u gonna go viral, or live ur meaningless small scale life 4evr?
Should I buy an HD cammy and upload some viddies into the yewtewb?
Are AZNs creative, or do they just listen to Linkin Park, watch scifi action movies with fast cars in them, and work on turning their functional Honda/Civic/Toyota into a rice rocket?
R u gonna die alone, or would u chill with a metaphorical Erin/Jeff 4evr?

• tweens
• Middle Aged men looking to recapture their youth in the spirit of music
• women aged 13-55 who are having some sort of ‘identity crisis’ based on their lack of an identity

Honestly feel like we need to take a deep breath, and watch this band ‘evolve’ into the next Kings of Leon/Strokes/U2/Coldplays/etc. Sort of like how ppl watch films abt nature and think it is ‘beautiful.’ We just need 2 stand back, and watch ‘the evolution’ of a band, not worrying abt the death of __________ (negative vibe), but instead choosing 2 celebrate the life of _______(positive vibe). Maybe this is the spirit of 2k10. Gonna be watching so many former indie bands take ‘the leap.’ They are more than just ‘a nice lil blog mp3′ now. These bands are beginning 2 ‘mean something’ 2 ppl who u don’t rlly respect.

Feel like Vampy Weekend’s album sales will ’shit on’ all of the most relevant bands of 2k9. We must ride this consumerwave. We must trust in the numbers.  The greatest good music for the greatest amount of ppl. 2k10 might be all about ‘utilitarianism.’

Wonder which Vampy Weekend fan is the most authentic?

Bro #1: Bro booty dancing 2 ‘Horchata’


Bro #2: Mainstream bro doing stop motion projjie


Bro #3: Ultimate AltBro with strobe light

Really feeling the Vampy Weekend catch on with a lot of ppl who aren’t even ‘in the alt bloggy scene.’ #Vampyfever is so strong right now, stronger than #Anco_fever and #Grizzbear fever from last year. Really feel like Vampy Weeks

What is ur pitchfork review of ‘the new Vampy Weekend album’? Seems like a ‘controversial’ topic, sorta like racism + class issues in america.

Can some1 catch me up on the history/vibe of vampy weekend? Just started listening to this widget 10 minutes ago, and trying to evaluate it without my 2k9hypebacklashgoggles perspective. Maybe ‘contra’ is not just an album name, but a new zeitgeist for consuming art.

4 bros // 1 band

Do u have ‘the fever’ or are u waiting 2 catch a different strain of ________ fever later in 2k10?
What’s the difference between an altbuzzband and a mnstrmbzzbnd? Which 1 would u rather be in?
R u on #TeamVampy or on #TeamLeno or on #TeamConan?

does n e 1 know if hoodies will ‘come back’ in 2k10, or will they be a dormant relevant trend for the next ~5 years?

miss u Los Angeles, before the mexitweens overran u with electro.

all i want 4 xmas
is authenticity

all I want 4 xmas
is a macbook with garageband
so i can make owlcitycore music 4 entrylevs.

I like stuff that’s funny cuz it’s true. Whenever I watch hipster-mockumentameme vids, I can’t help but LOL-out-loud, because I totes know all of the characters already, since they mirror real members of my alternative scene. It’s kinda weird how ‘vapid’ culture is, yall… h8 it/luv it/’get’ it. Just relieved that I am me living in our bad ass society.  I mean… it has it’s ups and downs…but I am generally happy with where we are.

Sorta miss the golden era of the Viral Vid Hipster movement. I decided to re-watch the Hipster Olympics, and reflect on the massive impact it had on ‘the scene.’ I believe the most powerful art is free-online art, because tons of ppl can see it and share it with all of their friends [via their facebook pages].

Seems like some new ‘hipster’ videos come out, and ‘exist under the radar’, but it makes me wonder just how viral they could have gone if they were made during The Golden Age.  They seem to each have their own unique take on things.

Sorta miss ‘Hipsters in Space.’ I hope that the youtube servers exist forever. One day, all blogs will die, and humans won’t be able to read text any more. As the youtube generation continues to mature without reading and writing skills, the only historical artifacts left will be vlogs, videos, and viral videos.

Technology is rlly something to awe at [via being awesome]. So many artists can make beautiful with a limited budget, beyond the Macbook their parents bought 4 them and the HD video camera that they waited tables 2 obtain. It’s great 2 be able to ‘reflect on culture’ so instantaneously at such a low cost. I feel like I am honestly living in the most special era of all time, like every war that was fought for freedom was just so that I could exist right now. I am thankful.

Are youtubes more powerful than real movies?
Is it still alt 2 ‘make fun of hipsters’?
What is the best web method 2 utilize 2 ‘make fun of hipsters’? Meme blog? Tumblr? Video? Vimeo? Tweet?
What is the ‘most authentic’ ‘making fun of hipsters’ video of all time?
WTF is a ‘hipster’?
Does n e 1 know if hipsters are ‘the dead end’ of ‘Western Civilization’?
What’s ‘next’ after ‘hipsters’, or will ‘hipsters’ exist 4evr? Will the spirit of ‘alt’ live on forever?
Should I start a blog, a youtube channel, or a vimeo channel?

Then myspace became a ‘graveyard’ of dead profiles, not just because facebook/twitter became more authentic/functional, but as internet-centric humans, we are in a neverending search for ‘the best way 2 express ourselves’ via the internet. Now that all tweens+humans have ‘high speed internet’ and cheap hi-enuff quality videocameras/’cameras inside of their phones’, the ability to show off your brand in video format is something that every1 can do.

Feel like I might need to develop a new gimmick, fresher than both Myspacers Worth Blogging About, and more ‘relevant’ than I Wish They Had Macbooks When I was a Tween.

Just want 2 put on my most authentic outfits
show the world who I am
free spirited, open 2 new ideas and life experiences
and get my dance on
to a relevant tween indie pop hit
as performed by Miley Cyrus’s brother
who has a shitload of tattoos

R u thinking of starting up a youtube channel to make zany videos with ur bffs that ‘go viral’?
Do u plan on making ‘tons of ad revenue’ via Google Adsense Ads?
What online social media tool provides u with the best creative outlet to convey the ‘real u’ to your ‘tribe’?

Should I buy an expensive hair iron?
Should I buy a zany wrist band?
Should I buy a Palestinian Scarf?
Should I buy a time machine and live in 2k7 forever?
Should I draw ‘blood’ running down my nose to make ppl think that I just did ‘a shit load of blow’?

Not sure who I am. Might be growing older. Might be losing touch with the tween generation. Seems like it might all just be a game of ‘fucking dress up.’ Not sure if ppl even really like music, or if ‘enjoying music’ is just aligning your personal brand with shifting aesthetics over time to represent ‘personal growth.’ Not sure why I like what I like. Losing it. Losing everything. Honestly don’t even know what the best album of 2k9 is.

Is it no longer authentic to be ‘alt’?
Was ‘alt’ just some sort of ‘defense mechanism’ 2 keep from feeling like ‘just another brick in the wall’?
What is the new ‘alt’? I feel like I must answer this question in order to move forward as a blog.

Alt is dead?

The modern world is a beautiful place, where one bro can buy multiple instruments, musical production equipment, and a lil viddy cam in order to outshine an indie pop masterpiece. While we often focus on bands which have established brands, we fail to see that sometimes magic moments can come together on a d.i.y. budget. Perhaps the future of indie music will not go down the same road as mainstream music [via over-reporting widely known band brands until hollow artists are created], but instead we will embrace individual moments of brilliance and musicianship [via the bro playing an xylophone/drums/singing harmonies].

Is Grizzly Bear still a valuable indie resource or has this bro rendered them obsolete?
Do u think that his bro should ‘join a band’ or is it 2 difficult to work with other ppl?

Whenever I do something vulnerable on the internet, am I just a meme?
Play me off, yall. Gnite world/moon.

Decided to make a video. Do u like it? Glad we all have the same personal brand of ‘bros who are zany and possibly listen to mightmightybosstones/blink182/Tom Green ‘bum bum song.’

Dorm life is chill. My parents didn’t cook much, so I’m not missing any food. Getting used to sharing space with some1. My roommate is a real mainstreamer. Going to talk to my RA about changing my roommate. Hopefully I can pull a double-swap with a bro who I have a lot in common with. Every nite would be a sleepover, and we could play chill music while we study instead of having to use headphones.

Feel lucky to have to take summer school. Probably gonna have a ‘core group of friends’ before every1 else gets here. so I’m happy 4 that.

What r u and ur bros doing to ‘pass the time’ in the summer?
Do u have any tips for selecting a sweet college roommate?
