After the success of AltBro vs AltBag, Carles continues to push the limits of HIPSTER RUNOFF by asking relevant, thought-provoking questions. In this edition, he asks if this group of tweens is a POPULAR TWEEN BAND (like the alternative Jonas Brothers from Southern Cali) or A Group of Bitter Pokemones who ran away from home in search of a better/more liberated life?

What do yall think they are? Plz justify ur answer, for example

"They are probably one of those bands that MTV forces down ur throat even though they are pretty ghey, kinda like Tokio Hotel."
or
"They are pokemones whose parents kicked them out of their house for have 2 many bisexual relations and being too fruity. Parents from the Mexi part of the world just don't understand."

What do yall think?

XX BONUS POKEMONES PARTY FOOTAGE XX
/////Are pokemones the new Entry Level Alts?

Do yall think that pokemones are more authentic than entry level alts cuz they are 'more sexual' and 'just wanna experiment' more than they want to 'buy tween accessories'?

After the success of the HRO Gimmick altbro or altbag, HRO has continued to crossbrand this game/gimmick. In today's edition, we are asked to guess whether the Mexicalts pictured are PUNKS or POKEMONES. For a better definition of the pokemones sensation of tween bisexuality, read this old post.

Please justify ur answer to receive a meaningful email from Carles and a $20 credit to your paypal account.

For example,
"They are punks because they don't care about anything kind of like that NO AGE band."
or
"They are pokemones because they probably only care about vanity and being tween bisexuals without educations."

WHAT DO YALL THINK?

I just saw the cutest lil alt when I was doing some online shopping yall. I remember back in 2k8, my big gimmick was 'purchasing an AZN.' This year, I think I'm looking for something that's a little bit more youthful and fun. While buying a lil alt might be a 30% increase in maintenance costs, I think it will probably end up being a better accessory/altSlave. AZNs are small, but u can't really compare their size to a lilAlt. Pre-tween alts are perfect because they are so energy efficient and customizable. So even though you're going to pay a bit more for a lilAlt, they'll probably get you back that money with fuel/energy savings.

LilAlts are more customizable than AZNs. I was actually thinking of starting a Human Trade shop in my local mall where people can purchase lil Alts (and a few high-end AZNs), and select outfits + accessories for them. (kinda like popular franchise BUILD A BEAR)

What makes having a human accessory fun isn't the fact that they 'help u with chores' that much. It's kinda more like having a tamagachi. When it 'cries' u have to feed it a lil bit. and sometimes u can play with it. but if it dies, u can just press the 'reset' button or get a new 1. The fun part is just 'making it ur own' and it doesn't require the responsibilities of having a child of ur own.

What type of lilAlt do yall think yall will buy?
(Thinking about adopting a pokemone from a 3rd world country.)

What.Would.Jesus.Do?
Is there a different kind of human that u are thinking about purchasing in 2k9, or is 'the economy' holding u back from making the $100-$200 investment?

Twinks or Lezbos is a new HRO gimmick where the readers must decide if the couple pictured is a twinkCouple or a Tegan&Sara Lesbian Couple. Twinks and Lezbos is an experimental byproduct of the popular HRO gimmick AltBro vs AltBag.

Please justify your response:
For Example: 'they are lezbos bc the look like hardXcore Tegan and Sara.'
or 'They are twinks cuz they are lil and look like hardXcore Tegan and Sara.'
or 'Carles this is a trick question. They are pokemones.'

XX BONUS AUDIO EQUIPMENT TATTOO XX

I am still searching for the world's most authentic audio equipment tattoo.

• Tat Boombox http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/08/monitoring-audio-equipment-tattoos.html
• Headphone tatty http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/08/i-am-dj-which-tattoo-would-enhance-my.html
• Turn table tatthttp://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/06/i-lovehate-my-dj.html
• I posted this audio equipment tattoo b4 TRV$ AM almost died. http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/08/p0st-m0re-audio-equipment-tattos.html

Does ink make u m0re or less 'real'?
Am I a coward if I am afraid of putting a symbol on my body that will represent my personal brand forever? Does that mean I am not 'living in the moment' enough? Does that mean I don't have any pride in the cultural movement in which I am embedded?
Scared of forever. Not good at relationships. :-(

I am an altino. My personal brand has been constructed from a murky adolescence. I had no admirable male figure in my life, leading me to who I am today. My life is a series of symbols [via tat + jacket patch] which I don't completely understand. I am not sure what each symbol means or if any of my implemented symbols might contradict another.

My personal choices are bold. However, there is a high level of uncertainty in my self-concept. I don't know who I am. I don't know why I got a butterfly tatty on my neck. I don't know if I am a boy or a girl. I don't know if I am a goth or a punk. I don't know if I am an emo or a pokemone. I do not know if I am electro or power pop. I do not know if I am 40 years old or 12 years old. I do not know if I am brown or white. I do not know if my hair is straight or Mexicurlie.

The MexicAlt Identity Crisis is one of the 50 most interesting cultural topics of the past 10000 years. Might go to grad school for anthropoly/sociology and write my thesis abt it. Do yall know of any universities that let u make ur thesis in powerpoint? h8 writing. need bullets & pix & wordart.

XX BONUS POKEMONES XX

Does n e 1 else hope Pokemones take over 1st World Countries?
According 2 wikipedia...

Pokemon is the name of an urban tribe among Chile's youth that surfaced in the late 2000s.[1][2] They are readily identifiable by their angular and pressed hairstyles, reminiscent of characters from the Japanese media franchise Pokémon. It is currently one of the largest and better known urban tribes in the country.
Pokemones dress similarly to other tribes, such as Otaku and Emo, but they are not followers of anime like the former, nor share the musical tastes of the latter.[7] Pokemones are livelier and extroverted. During parties they dance to reggaeton music, while kissing and groping with as many people (male or female) as they can, which they call poncear.[3] They make extensive use of the Internet, trading photos of themselves on image-sharing sites like Fotolog and communicating through MSN Messenger.
Pokemones are usually from the Chilean middle and lower class. They are frequently juxtaposed against another group, the so-called peloláis, well-to-do girls with long, straight fairer hair from private, Catholic schools.

s00 scared of the Pokemones in 2k9
