HIPSTER RUNOFF

[Photo by StyleScout]
It's important to always remember that the people you hang out with are sometimes a better representation of 'YOU' than you are. Whether you are in a herd of altBros, or in a situation where you are only seen in public with your long-term-Alt-significant-other, being with people who look as interesting & deliberate as u is very important.

When people say 'u look like ur in a band', it means that you are some one who is on the cutting edge of culture from the perception of some1 who doesn't know much about modern culture, but would like to learn more abt it from u (since u l00k pretty interesting and creative). "Looking like you're in a band" isn't a look for every one. The people who will admire you are usually entry-level alts or mainstreamers-who-are-infatuated-with-alternative culture (and listen to a lot of mainstream indie rock circa 2k4.5)

True alts definitely don't want to look like they are in a band or hang out with people who look like they are in a band. SRSLY...do u want to look like the Strokes? Interpol? Kings of Leon? The Black Kids? Blink 182? Puddle of Mudd? Miscellaneous zany band? Miscellaneous British rock band? Miscellaneous mixed gender band? Miscellaneous art-rock band? Miscellaneous lo-fi conceptual band?

True Alts would rather look:

• homeless
• parentless
• tragic mctragtrag
• genderless
• fashionsenseless
• starved
• like they are in a cult
• like they are from the past/future/post-future

Girls can only look like 'they are in a band' when they are in a group of guys-who are dressed like they are in a band, which you can tell by looking at the photo above.
A group of girls who would theoretically be 'dressed like they are in a band' probably just look like a herd of girls who are eager to be in LongTermRelationships with altBros. (a.k.a. they just look like a gaggle of altSkanks). This is mainly because it's hard to view a girl who 'dresses trendily' as being some1 who is genuinely creative/interesting. (unless ur Miranda July)

'Looking like you're in a band' will come back and haunt you eventually. If you look like you are in a band beyond 30, your personal brand will automatically be converted into 'trying-too-hard cool dad' or 'out-of-touch-with-reality free-spirited mom.'

I love when members of bands wear the t-shirt of another band. That's something that 6th graders see, and subconsciously post-identify with the band even more.

carles when are you going to REALLY GET INTO A ANEW BAND like you did with the teenagers? When is anyone going to take the time and effort to say "I REALLY LIKE THIS:" for real and not just because it was released three hours ago. Is anyone else doing this?

When will you really like something again? I don't mean to sound like pressuring you into crap you don't give a shit about, but I'm selfish and I don't care.

My accessory is one of those ice cream bars shaped as a baseball mitt that has a gum ball in the middle. Those frozen gum balls make for excellent anal beads. After I eat about 10 or 15 of these fuckers I have enough anal bead gum balls to make another great accessory...an anal bead necklace. The moral of this story is that if you are truly alt, you will choose an ice cream accessory that has multiple uses. Taco Bell Frutistas....big in 2k9?

why do I get the feeling that the pseudo racist comments are coming from Australian?
The term Blipster is absolutely stupid!
Here you have a group of black people getting into something that is predominantly white and you got people like Carlers here who STILL needs to pick em apart and give them a name. No they can't just be hipster...they got to be blipster because them being black isn't obvious enough.

When will HRO get rid of all the racism, sexism, Australianism, homophobia, and general HATE?

Love all yall anons. Never change.
