HIPSTER RUNOFF

[Photo by thecobrasnake]
This is a beautiful photograph. U can't really see what's happening, but that is kind of a metaphor. We need more metaphors which will help us to reflect in 2k9.

I can't be 100% certain what is happening in the picture. Is it a house party? Is it a meaningful electro concert? Is it a picture from the Running of the Bulls? Is it a group of bros being executed as a group? Is it a group of people singing the song "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M.? Is it a group of bros trying to go viral via their youtube channel? We'll never know, yall.

"I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try" -The R.E.M.s

But part of me kinda likes not knowing. While I usually yearn for certainty, this time I feel at peace without knowing an answer to all of my questions. I know I'm not the only one.

There's more to photography than yall think.
Beautiful Photographs Make U Think About Life.

(Maybe it was just an artistic decision 2 try to hide the Shuttershades bro)

miss u 2k_
As we move forward in time, are we realizing that 2k_ was the best year in the history of the world?

Are shuttershades no longer mainstream-alt, yall?
Is there a new glasses trend that we need to be aware of?

Does n e 1 work for a design firm that is creating the next big sunglasses trend? Will it be martini glasses? I need to know if I should invest in a certain type of sunglasses stock.

Does n e 1 know if AZN glasses are going to be big in 2k10?

The Olympics in China have been really successful, so I think a lot of people are going to 'try to be AZN' or something like that. U know how the world is... when they see something that they think is 'alt', they try to align their personal brand with it. s00 annoying/inauthentic.

Does n e 1 know if white framed sunglasses are still 'underground'/'indie'/'unique-core'?

Should I just buy some zany coloured Wayfarers and match them to my clothing?

Or should I buy sunglasses that enable me to take the lenses out for days when it isn't sunny?

YALL.
I'M SO CONFUSED. I HATE THE TAIL-END OF TRENDS. IT'S LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM N E M0RE. SUXXX SO BAD.

N e ways...Summer is almost over... do u need to wear sunglasses in the non-summer? Or are they a summer-exclusive accessory?
r u gonna miss the Shuttershade era?
R.I.P. Kanye West. U had a good run.

Which one of these statements is true?
a) Shutter shades were made in China by the same team of designers that designed the iPhone.
b) Kanye West discovered shutter shades while in China for a 'Free Tibet' benefit concert.
c) In the year 2010, Kanye West 'came out of' the 'closet' in which 'fggts' reside bc they are 'afraid' of what 'society' might 'think of them,' especially in 'the' 'hip-hop community.'

KUTE AZN GIRLS: the world's #1 source for emerging trends?

Does any 1 know where I can get this interesting interpretation of horizontal shutter shades? I just need a solid pair of glasses that I can wear any where, and I can rely on to completely impair my vision.

BONUS SHUTTER SHADES COVERAGE

As 'FGGT G0GGLES Month' comes to a close on HRO, take some time to celebrate with this video from the Shutter Shades Launch Party. It is probably the shuttershadiest piece of digital media that will ever exist.

POP QUIZ:
How many pairs of shutter shades can u find in this picture?

I read on a fashion blog that if you wear shutter shades (also known as Kanye West glasses[also known as CUM FGGT GOGGLES]) too often, your eyebrows will fall out and your eyes will cry blood.

Anyways. Every1 needs to consider getting rid of their eyebrows in the summer to combat internal global warming.

Love yall!

I wonder if there is a world record for 'Most People Wearing Kanye West Glasses in 1 Party Pic.' Plz be on the lookout for this Holy Grail of pictures, because I'm sure it involves 5+ alt bros and 5+ mainstreamer girls pretending to be alt for the night.

I also learned from a Bay Area Style Blog that these glasses are called SHUTTER SHADES. Should I stop calling them 'Kanye West Glasses'? Should I just call them 'Cum in the Eye Protectors'?

I really need to buy a pair soon for when I have to go to an 'Ironic 00s Era Party' in 10 years. I hope it is as fun as today's 80s parties. Hopefully mainstreamers will still get to go to American Apparel to find their wardrobe for throwback-themed parties in the coming decades.

Love yall!

I read a news story about countries beginning to outlaw the use of Kanye glasses while driving. I think you would be allowed to drive with these ones, though.

Some1 needs to invent glasses that are completely opaque and sell them to alternative markets.
