HIPSTER RUNOFF

miss the days that felt like this. felt special and authentic. feel like everything is so snarky these days. no1 is allowed 2 mean n e thing. no1 is allowed 2 'just live.'

All we evr fucking do is make fun of eachother/ourselves. Yall...we can't do this forever. We can't just make snark meme blogs bashing people for the rest of our lives'. There comes a time 2 'grow the fuck up' and start trying 2 make the world better.

Just read this comment and made me feel all sad about what I am doing. Might need 2 change my tone.

Dear Carles

Fuck you.

I don't know if you think that your blog is funny, relevant, ironic, post-modern, or any other asinine "hipster" buzzword, your blog boils down to the same old racist, misogynistic, hate spewing bullshit that has plagued America since its inception.

i mean, what the fuck, blipsters? yellow fever? this entire post?!?! we're all different, we know. you dont have to sort us into whites and not whites, "bros" and not "bros", heteronormatives and "gheis" or whatever the fuck you say.

our generation has been called the least motivated, and most privileged ever to have existed. We are living in an age where we are connected to each other like no other generation of humanity has been. you can interact with people across the planet NEARLY INSTANTANEOUSLY VIA SATELLITES THAT ORBIT THE FUCKING PLANET, AND ALL YOU HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE IS THE MOST VULGAR, DIVISIVE, AND (MOST DAMNINGLY) POINTLESS DRIBBLE THAT LEAKS OUT OF YOUR ID DOMINATED BRAIN.

you are an embarrassment to our generation, and if history remembers you (which I sure as fuck hope it doesn't) it will be as the death knell of white heterosexual male hegemony.

and I don't give a shit if you think this is Art. If this is the best art you can produce you might want to consider a different career, perhaps in the KKK.

you are only culturally relevant in the sense that you represent the puerile, emotionally stunted, intellectually repressed, and self absorbed America that cares more about listening to hip music and wearing cool clothes that what is happening in the world.

there is nothing wrong with hipsters being fashionable, having educations, or being artistic, as long as they are contributing something useful to our society.

but you carles are slime. you make nothing new, you just recycle old hatred, and draw lines of class and race and sexuality. you are what is wrong with hipsters. and you should be ashamed.

and fuck all of you commenters who encourage this bullshit. YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED. I will never buy anything from anyone who pays you to advertise.

whoa. who am I + what do I believe in + what have I become.
'wtf.' fuck. Should showcase more COMMENTS WORTH BLOGGING ABOUT?

miss when electro was brand new. Miss when I used 2 have authentic fun.

miss u
feeling sad this weekend. might stay in. might change my blog layout.
bye

PS: what should I do?

Should I start thinking abt what I will be for Halloween in 2k9?

miss Heath. Don't think I'll be ready 2 b a JokerAlt for at least 5 years.
Not even a zany one with a bunch of kute buttons/pins + an altBro visor.

Might be THE KNIFE, but they haven't had a new album in like 200 blog years. :-(

Probs will just end up being 'Naked Bjork.' Authentic Muff = free spirited authentic zaniness.

This past Halloween was a flop, so I'm just gonna do whatever it takes 2 get back my concept of 'fun.'

I was reading PEDESTRIAN.TV, and I saw that the Olsen twins are about to publish a meaningful scrapbook:

The latest venture being a coffee table book titled "Influence" which seeks to share the Olsen's own pop culture influences (everyone from Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld and Radiohead).

I rlly need 2 start to think about which pop culture references have had huge impact on my life. Should I start listening to more abstract Radiohead lyrics that I can apply meaning to? Just need 2 make a coffee table book/meaningful scrapbook.

I feel like I can really gain from reading the Olsen Twins'z memes, since they had a gifted childhood, and now life an authentic alternative life. They have access 2 anything they could ever want. The Zaniest accessories. The kutest males. The finest drugs. The best Buffalo Exchange outlets. Autoacceptance to any respected alternative university in the world. They have it all, yall.

We need to jump on this opportunity to get inside of their heads.

N e ways...Pedestrian.tv obtained pictures from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's book. I thought I'd post them so that yall can 'relate' to them.




Do yall feel 'closer' to the Olsen twins now?
Don't u luv when the special-est people in the world share their beautiful minds & memes with u?
Isn't it refreshing to see that even 'celebs' have zany, random, meaningful thoughts going through their heads?
How old were u when u made ur first/last meaningful scrapbook?

Yall. Getting ready to go to HARD HALLOWEEN 2nite
Think i'm gonna bring this jackolantern with me.

It's gonna be weird since this is the first Halloween since Heath is gone. I'm gonna see His face ovr & ovr again (kinda like that clapyourhandssayyeahyayea song).

Gonna be hard 2nite.
hard halloween.

harder than ever 2 b alive. let's take a nite 2 'forget abt it' and just 'celebrate' like life is as meaningful as a davematthewsband song.

(if yall are at HARD, I'll c u at the JEANS stage).

To me, Heath Ledger's death was not 'just a meme.' I will NVR let that one go. Yall need to realize that the meme economy is making meaningful entities disposable. All of these news + celeb blogs aren't authentic cuz they don't take the time to reflect on a legacy. They are s00 consumed with creating Search Engine Optimized memes that they don't stop to realize that on the other side of this whole 'internet thingy' are real human beings. We are real human beings who are searching for authenticity.

I wish people would just understand that HIPSTER RUNOFF not just a blog. I am an open search for authenticity. I don't rlly care about turning 'events', 'people', and 'newsbits' into memes.
HIPSTER RUNOFF is a place for reflection. Kinda like how myspace is for friends. I just want to be a place where you can come and 'get real.' I want you to be able to really just be you. I want to 'get' u. I want u 2 'get' me. I want to get buzzed with u. I want to laugh abt the 'simple things in life', like an incompetent waitress at Chili's who will never be a college graduate. I want to make mistakes, and go through hard times with u. I want u 2 listen to me. I want to pretend 2 listen 2 u.
This is life, yall.

It's important for both sides of the impending Electro War between France and Australia to remember that there will be serious repercussions if either side decides to use nuclear weapons. I'm really worried about the electroFallOut if things go wrong. I know that some alts have gold skin, and fake eyes as accessories, but if we become contaminated, it might change our personal brands forever.

If I had 3 eyes, would my shutter shades/wayfarers/FGGT goggles stop working? If I had g0ld skin, would girls/gheys still want 2 tug me? h8 thinking about change. I am only now starting 2 'feel comfortable with who i am, and what my personal brand has evolved into since age 12', so if I had to overcome any sort of 'deformity', it would be rlly tuff. Kinda like when ugly people 'try to fit in' with mainstream crowds, then they don't, then they try to fit in with alt crews, but then they realize they are ugg and can't fit in any where, and end up listening to krappy music.

Right now, this bro is a 'freak', but what if we lived in a future where every1 'was a freak.' Then 'normal' would be redefined, and we'd have to redefine 'alternative' too. Just a lot of busy work that I'm not sure I'd have time 2 complete.

s00 w0rried about nucular fallout. g0nna suck. Every1 needs to realize that wars are SRSLY serious. Wish I could talk to Barry Obama in one of those debate thingies to let him know what our real problems are. h8 politix...kinda wish the government was 'a blog' and we could just vote on things using polls, and if u had a complaint, u could just leave a scathing cmmnt.
