HIPSTER RUNOFF

Going to build
a series of piñatas
to honor my favourite alternative celebrities
who have changed my life
who have chanced society
who have changed culture
who have pushed 'art' 2 the next level
transcending society
& shitting on what we once thought was 'authentic art'

Warhol pinata photos by brooklyn museum

why the eff would I build a statue?
they are so finite
they are supposed to last forever
but they won't
one day humans will be gone
and statues will melt away when magma surges from the earth [via iceland] [post-via volcanoes]
Earthquakes will tear shit up in 2012
and castles/buildings will be 'made of sand'
become part of the earth again

the pinata
is so self aware
it knows that it can't last 4ever
it would be impossible to last forever
the pinata exists
to be destroyed
the pinata takes a beating
so u can enjoy it
kinda like the circle of life
u live just 2 die
u succeed just 2 fall.
u get in a relationship just 2 breakup
u listen to a buzzband just 2 resent them in 2-6 months

the creative process is so different
because i am creating something
that I know won't last forever

The best statues are kinda like pinatas
these monuments fall when regimes fall
kinda like the time me and my Iraqi bros got buzzed and tore down
Saddam Hussein statues all around our city.

Even our american soldier bros got involved,
made sure we could do it

I created a pinata
2 be destroyed
2 create a spirit of destruction
in celebration

Pinatas are the ultimate form of tribute in the modern world.

Are pinatas the master art?

Is Andy Warhol's legacy ruined because he 'inspired Lady Gaga'?
Who r u gonna build a pinata 4?
Are you going to build Animal Collective pinatas?
What would u fill up your authentic pinata with? Sparks? Cocaine? Condoms? Dum Dum lollipops? Chili's gift cards?
Are Mexicans 'in touch' with how 2 party / celebrate?
Will pinatas replace blogs/twitters/facebooks as the ultimate form of social media in 2k14?

This is an image of a high fashion show where a hot model is wearing clothes with a sunny side up egg on it. I think she also has a baguette on her head. She might be some sort of transformer who transforms in2 a picnic. Not sure what the dress is trying to 'say', but I think it has sometimes to do with survival, and how we have to go grocery shopping to stay alive, instead of being a hunter and gatherer. Might also have to do with the death of the nuclear family.

I know that I am kind of a 'fashion blog' but sometimes I don't 'get' fashion. It seems like the most bloggable looks are stuff that are too expensive for even upper-middle class people to buy. And most people 'don't look like models' so they look like they are 'trying too hard' when they try 2 look 'all cool and fashion-forward.' It makes me sad when I see poor people who wear 'clothes for poor people that they think are cool, trendy, and sexy.'

Every1 is just trying their best to look presentable and modern. Kinda sad when people 'try 2 b sexie' when they aren't.

I feel like if I saw some girl with eggs on her, it would make me think she is 'trying too hard 2 be kutesy' and probably needs to focus on developing a more intense sexual identity, instead of seeking shelter in deceptive kutesy aesthetics which represent a reluctance to 'grow up.'

UGH. Still haven't figured out what's the difference between design, art, and memes?

Sometimes I just feel like we live in a world where every1 is just trying 2 b blggd about. Kinda like that 'In the future, every one will be world-famous for 15 minutes' quote by Andy Warhol, except it'll be m0re like:

"In the future, everyone will be internet-famous for 15 blog minutes."
-Carles, blogger from HIPSTER RUNOFF (2009)

If u have a relevant circle of friends in ur local alternative community, every1 knows some1 who has implemented the personal brand of Bob Dylan circa 1960/1970. U have 2 have curly brown hair 2 do this, so it's kinda like a 'gift from god' if ur able to pull it off. All u need is to be a lil bit skinnie and wear meaningful black sunglasses. Being a Bob Dylalt probably means that you aren't into anything that is too modern (art, music, recent cinema), and u enjoy being 'vintage' bc things used to be way more authentic back then.

I'm not even sure what Bob Dylan was all about. I think he was about 'authenticity' or something. Only heard like 1 of his songs about being 'like a Rolling Stones' but usually get him confused with Bruce Springsteen.

Didn't he h8 Andy Warhol cuz Warhol was 'too zany' and 'too modern' and 'didn't take the world srsly enuff' and Bob Dylan was kind of like the AnCo of the pre-internet era?

PLZ some1 help me. I don't know much about alternative history. wish there was a class about it at my local community college.

xx bonus Dylan Spawn Meme xx
Does n e 1 know if it is more authentic to be a WallflowerAlt than a BobDylalt?
