HIPSTER RUNOFF

[via GlamCanyon]
Not sure 'who I am' but getting a better idea of 'who I want 2 b." My ideal version of who I want 2 b involves some sort of implementation of man bangs/a helmet-type of haircut. Whenever I see a keut girl with a set of bangs, I wonder why more bros can't implement them. Not gonna be 'afraid' any more. Gonna make sure that I 'follow my dreams' and activate my lookbook account.

All I ever wanted
was a browl cut
& some1 2 'love' me
& a 5-5-5 deal from Dominos
& extra dipping sauce
& an unlimited supply of office supplies
& a chance to write the sequel to "Office Space"
& a chance to write an episode of "The South Park"
& a chance to make my 'parents' understand my alt lifestyle
& a chance to break free of my social class
& the opportunity to get paid for 'lookin at kewl stuff on the internet'
& a lifetime contract with Apple so that they send me a new lappy whenever a new1 comes out
& a highly coveted gmail invite
& man bangs
& express myself

What do u want from 'life'?

I want to 'get back to my roots' as a trendhunting blog, but ever since my post on AnCo and my podcast, I've just been wondering 'what i'm supposed 2 do with my life/bloglife?' //help

When I grow up into the alt that I will one day be, I want to have a cut of hair in the shape of a spacious mixing bowl, with a well-defined plane of man bangs. (Sorry yall--still just trying 2 trendhunt a lot in 2k9. Not sure if I'm going to convert my progressive 1999 Caesar cut into a bowl cut just yet).

This bro is me.
This browl cut is me.
The bowl on my head is my hair.
These are my man bangs--they are functional
/// keeping the bowl out of my eyes.
/// and my metaphorical 'head' held 'high.'

XX BONUS PHOTOGRAPHER BRO XX

I am a photographer bro
in a sea of alts
Searching for
meaningful images
to capture 4evr

While I don't believe in G-d
or an afterlife
I kind of believe in souls
because I capture something when I take pictures

Learned how to hack the web
and build a site
that is web 1.0
making it more authentic than web 2.0 bullshit

These are my dreams
to one day become a relevant photographer
for magazines
and blogs
and nightlife
and life
and pix of my bffs
with a valuable site
that people fly me to 'cover'

In 10 years, you will look back on my website
and it will be kind of like a relevant cultural museum
kinda like
the graveyard that is myspace

I was looking a a fotoweblog, and I noticed a man who looked like he was from the future. He was wearing a bear shirt, which represent the post-electro/indie world, where we no longer listen 2 bands. Instead, we will all have favourite animals, and listen to zany songs which are constructed by samples of animal noises. (Noah Lennox, a.k.a. Panda Bear, has been successful because he is a metaphorical land bridge between the present and the future of music.)  In 2k9, our 'clubs' will be replaced with microZoos.

But I think these bangs r kute. Whenever I see a girl with bangs that are 'a lil bit sloppy and unkempt', it makes me think that they have character because they aren't interested in narcissistic stuff. They just love being free spirited, and into things that were kool 2 years ago. Even though they couldn't afford a haircut session [via a hair design studio], they are still able to achieve an aesthetic which might make them even more authentic than a 'real hairstyle.' It kinda reminds me of girls who are 'poor but semi-pretty' and just trying to make their way in a consumeristic alternative society.  Kinda weird how lower-middle-classers, middle-classers, and upper-middle-classers can all 'fit in' in their own unique way in alternative society.

Wish my parents made a lil bit more so that I could buy a few more personal branding tools.

Does Claudio/Ethan from Crystal Castles have the kutest Man Bangs on Earth?

HRO usually focuses on finding kute bangs on grls, but maybe it's time to start searching for kute manbangs. Alternative men in the post-Emo era sport some of the kutest bangs evr. While swoopy bangs will always be in the spotlight, we can't forget 'spikey bangs', 'bowl-cut bangs' and any other type of innovative bangs that we might discover in the next 100 blog years.

Will 'receding hairline bangswoops' be big in 2k30 when alts grow up?

Remember when Of Montreal used to be the 'Default Festival Lineup Band to Attract People Who Are Unable to Decide for Themselves What Good Music Is.' (MGMT has taken their place.)

I have always wondered what a modern-day, alternative Robin Hood would be all about. It's good to know that he wears Doc Martens, wears Agyness Deyn top hats, and has man bangs, just like I envisioned. But I wonder what his 'moral code' is all about.

But srsly...does n e 1 miss the era of the Belt Tuck?

Alt Robin Hood robs from the ___________ and gives to the _________
a) altbags // altBros
b) altBro herds // altBags
c) alternative celebrities // entry level alts looking for authenticity
d) party pixBros // people with regular digicam
e) iPhone owners // Sidekick owners
f) gPhone owners // iPhone owners
g) Crystal Casties // HeartsRevolutions
h) bloggers // musicians
i) rich // minorities
j) Choose.Your.Own.Response
