IAMCARLES.com introduces the GENRE SHIRT.
A shirt for hi-level music bros.
"What kind of music do u listen 2?"
What's ur fave genre of music? Chillwave, pitchforkcore, alt-rock, or lofi-Christian-trance?
Way more authentic than wearing the t-shirt of an individual indie band.
Helps ppl understand that u r transcendent. U r not a fan of 1 band. U r a a fan of 'good/relevant' music.
What did u list as ur fave music on facebook/myspace?
(available in 2 colours)
About to go 2 bed. Listening 2 my iPod.
Genres are important to the evolution of music/music fans.
Genre names may or may not be 'completely retarded.'
Genres are tools that we use 2 communicate abt music.
Without genres, we wouldn't know what kind of music we like.
Genres are labels we give to groups of similar music/artists.

I truly believe that a brand can inspire a human to do something that they never thought they could accomplish. I want to inspire bros to believe that they can do 'anything under the sun.' This is the goal of any successful brand. Giving the common man 'hope.' It is this hope that sustains your will to live. Without a will to live, you are less than human after all.
I want you to believe that you are #1. Not just to your parents and to yourself, but to the entire world. Similar to how black athletes and rappers feel, but in a more genuine+logical way.
Life is sorta like a marathon. There's a lot of other people competing against u, but u sorta just need 2 run ur own race, and u can sorta convince yourself that you some how 'won.'
I am the only bro in this pack of runners listening to Animal Collective.
Need to 'overcome.'

Carles is the popular blogger from the popular internet website HIPSTER RUNOFF.
It was the bro-est of times, it was the brorst of times.
Good nite, world.
-carles
You were a good meme. You did ur best.
In this post, Carles will attempt to utilize his web brand as an 'eCommerce retailing outlet', attempting to brand himself as a 'man of the people' by giving his viewership an opportunity to 'buy shit from his brand.'
Carles announces a 'once in a lifetime sale.' Carles announces the 'Halloween Blowout Sale' of the once popular meme, IAMCARLES. This sale is meant to target people who 'want 2 be Carles' 4 the popular holiday 'Halloween.' For a limited time, the IAMCARLES shirt price has been 'fucking slashed' to $22.
Ordering before Tuesday means that you will get your I AM CARLES at a discounted price. Your shipping will be 'upgraded' to ensure delivery before the Saturday holiday. This is your 'only chance' to get a 'sweet deal' on the IAMCARLES shirt before they are all gone. It feels like I have 'sold a lot of them', but still need a 'sale' to liquidate inventory/ rejuvenate potential interest in t-shirt ownership.
This type of sale will surely 'do in' the last of the of IAMCARLES t-shirt inventory.
Who will u be 4 Halloween?
'Am I getting a good deal for $22?' 'Is Carles worth supporting?' 'Did Carles empty out his annual trustfund stipend before the year was over?'
Is the IAMCARLES tshirt a bad Halloween costume idea?
I AM CARLES HALLOWEEN BLOWOUT SALE--a concept 'sale'
Goal: 2 get ppl 2 buy tshirts and be 'carles' 4 halloween
Gimmick Pros for shoppers: Discounted Price, Upgraded shipping
Cons: Still potentially 'overpriced.'
Fun ideas: put fake blood on Carles shirt, and u can be 'Carles after a Juggalo killed him'
Price: $22 (includes expedited shipping)
Buy Now at this URL: http://iamcarles.com/
'On Halloween, u will put on ur IAMCARLES shirt, and transform into a relevant blog. This is the perfect costume for the modern world.'
Carles has also heard many stories about teens with no debit cards/paypal accounts/etc. He has launched the T-shirts for Tweens Program, which is dedicated to the mission of giving under-18-year olds the same consumer opportunities to 'waste money on internet products.' The program is meant to enable teens to purchase Carles goods through non-paypalian methods.
Please contact me at carleser [at] gmail.com if you are a teen/miscellaneous adult who does not trust 'online commerce.' When was ur first bank account/debit card? Do u wish u could only use cash so u couldn't 'waste money on shit' on the internet?
Visit I AM CARLES.com now to participate in this sale.

'The Brand is stronger/weaker than ever, and we must capitalize b4 we all die.'
-Jesus Christ, God, and the Virgin Mary in a 'branding' strategy session
'I honestly feel like I am still creating compelling content when I make a whore-ish post.'
-Carles, commenting on the state of the blogosphere/journalism/music criticism+tastemaking
Will u be Carles 4 Halloween?
Sale ends on Tuesday.
Do u think that I can get sued 4 'discrimination' if the IAMCARLES brand doesn't provide long sleeve products for 'bros with tat sleeves who need to work in conservative office environments?
Worried abt my brand--might not be 'universal' enough.
Can some1 plz design 'trendy-looking advertisements' utilizing images from my lookbook? Needs to look 'cutting edge'/flash intensive/ripping off Am Appy/like something that has never been seen b4.
Rlly need an intern. Soo swamped with 'the brand.' Not sure if I should have 'contest' where people write meaningful essays about why they 'need an internship with HRO/IAMCARLES', and then I can post all of the essays for every1 to read. Wish I could start a youtewb reality show/vlogging collective.

I have always wanted to be a designer. I believe that we can meaningfully impact the world by the not only the things that we own, but also the clothes that we wear. We live in a beautiful society which encourages tiered self-expression depending on your income. You can truly show the world who you are, and where you 'fit in' with society.
Carles Presents I Am Carles dot-com
http://www.iamcarles.com
I am Carles is a lifestyle brand, created by Carles.
The brand is meant to be 'high level' but also 'relatable.' Similar to Chili's. You feel comfortable when you eat there, but you are also having a unique experience.
Do u feel alone? The IAMCARLES.com brand is attempting to be similar to the HIPSTERRUNOFF.com brand. It wants u 2 feel like it 'gets' u. Carles wants to relate to you.
Bro
alone on the internet
downloading illegal mp3s
Pulls out credit card
purchases t-shirts of bands and brands
because buying things off the internet
seems 'more authentic' than the limited selection of
local shops in his suburban area.

'I will take a picture of u and remember it 4 ever
the way u looked that day
young 4evr and ever' -something a fashion line would say, I think.
It feels good to finally put my design school degree 2 use.
I never thought I could create something.
Bringing a product to market requires tons of teamwork and dedication.
Lots of emails, lots of decisions.
Just doing your best to 'preserve/strengthen ur brand' without 'losing authenticity.'
It means not isolating ppl.
Please see our limited time offer which includes a shirt hand delivered by Carles
I wonder if this tshirt will cut into the 'band tee shirt' demographic.
'For a limited time, I will offer you free shipping'
- a company that doesn't understand that consumers know that they are 'paying for shipping' somehow.
Carles will be adding new authentic products soon. Please let Carles know what products you need.
R U CARLES? //// I AM CARLES?

'leaked' images.
I have always wanted to be a 'designer' & create a 'meaningful brand.'
I Am Carles is a branded t-shirt experience brought to you by Carles at the popular weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF. It seems as though a crazy middle aged man has made some sort of 'death threats' against Carles. I am not sure why he is vibing out in a parking garage, but I guess that is just where 'bros who wanna get internet attention go' in order to 'go viral' with ppl who care abt stupid internet shit. It seems like this is some sort of original song, a dark tribute to Carles, but potentially, some sort of death threat.
Seems like a 'crazed', 'deranged' video. All we can do is pray for the safety of Carles.
Does he seem chill? Does he seem KrAzY?
Anyways, mainly only made this post as an 'advertorial', encouring you to buy the final I Am Carles shirts from the I Am Carles store. According to sources, only 'a couple' left.

Carles recently went on a family vacay with his parents, family, wife, son, daughter, cousins, and estranged biological parents (awkward). It seems like this EXCLUSIVE photo of Carles was snapped, enjoying the sun & water slides at Hoover Dam water park. He is just riding chillwaves down the wall of the dam... Maybe there's not actually a buzz drought... Maybe some1 built a buzz dam, attempting to protect us from 'too much buzzworthy content.'
If only they realized...
we can handle the buzz...

Bebe Zeva is the beloved model of the now-defunct I Am Carles brand. Unchill AZN Bro is a 'HRO staple', as we follow his alt escapades on a daily basis. Many ask the question, 'Is Unchill AZNBro chill or unchill?' It seems as if he is one step closer to winning the hearts of HRO Readers over after canoodling with Bebe Zeva.
Do u think they make a keut couple?
In BJ Panda Bear's blog post 2 Carles, they write a sincere letter of gratitude to Carles, declaring their love, but also demanding fair treatment and <3-biased coverage.
To Carles... we love you
be nice too us
we love you
It seems as if both of them have a 'love-hate' relationship with HIPSTER RUNOFF and specifically the blogger Carles, who may or may not be a heatless cyberbully.
Are Bebe Zeva and Unchill AZN Bro a 'new power couple'?
Who looks better in an I Am Carles shirt?
Is Carles 'mean' to Unchill AZN Bro/Bebe Zeva?
Will there be a Royal Alt Wedding between these 2 love birds?
Will the I Am Carles brand ever 'recover'/'relaunch'?
Is Unchill AZN Bro the 'frontrunner' to being the next I Am Carles model?

Do u own a Genre shirt?
If u wear an I AM CARLES shirt in public, are u 'authentic' or 'entry lev'?
Have u ever seen some1 wearing an I AM CARLES product?
Is it 'authentic' to stand in the front at a relevant alt concert?
Does this bro seem 'chill' or 'vibe harshing'?
Lollapalooza seems like a chill time where tons of bros go to check out buzzbands and half naked girls in sexi lil festival outfits. A place where u can chill out, catch some cancer [via the sun], and just drink some Bud Light.
It seems like this bro is just chillin, bein Carles, letting people know that he has co branded himself with Carles, the blogger behind the popular weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF.
Would u chill with this bro?
What bands do u think this bro saw?
Do u think this bro is one of those HRO readers who is way more into the 'pre-Alt Report HRO era'?
Are koozies authentic/functional, or do true alts 'finish their beer b4 it gets cold'?
If u saw this bro 'in the flesh' would u try to vibe out with him, or would u think he was inauthentic?
Does the I AM CARLES store need 2 re-open?
Do yall miss the Genre Shirt?
Do true HRO fans wear Carles Gear?
Sean Penn is well-remembered for playing Harvey Milk, the story of a mentally retarded man who runs across the country and serves in Vietnam, eventually returning home and starting a shrimp boat company. His wife Jenny dies from AIDS, but leaves Sean Penn a son to take care of. Sean Penn always delivers solid performances in movies that get Academy Awards and MTV Movie Awards.
It seems like now he will be remembered as a fan of HIPSTER RUNOFF, known by many insiders as 'HRO.' In this picture, Sean Penn wears a hat that says "J/P HRO" on it. Not sure what "J/P" stands for, but "HRO" definitely stands for the popular weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF. We can only assume that Sean Penn has a lil Macbook, and his lil home page is set to the lil site hipstar**runoffs. Probably bought that shit from the I AM CARLES store or something.
It seems like now that HRO is 'mainstream', tons of famous actors, actresses, politicians, and other famous bros trying to be chill will 'jump on the HRO bandwagon.'
Does Sean Penn seem like a chill bro?
Do u think he reads HRO?
What does "J/P" stand for?
Is HIPSTER RUNOFF going mainstream?
Do yall called HIPSTER RUNOFF "HRO" or H-Ro ?
What is ur fave Sean Penn movie? Luvd him in Shawshank.
The Cobrasnake, a party photographer recently posted photographs from a relevant Australian Music Festival. It seemed like it was geared towards 'the electro party scene.' I am not sure if there were any highlights of the show, or if foreign artists just abuse Australian budgets to 'make mad bank' and get a free vacation.
Mainly feel like utilizing this post to promote the Genre Shirt meme, a shirt designed by Carles, highlighting different types of music from around the world.

Do u have a genre shirt?
