Blog: Hipster RunOff

Things have been EXTREMELY buzzworthy for the indie band this time of a year. Just a few days ago, they released their new hit song single , which the internet has been liking, sharing, subscribing to like it's sliced bread. It has been getting many plays, views, and hits, which means that they are certainly doing a good job, even trending on twitter with the hashtag "#newsongbytheindieband." Just yesterday, the band was caught in the middle of controversy , which may have been controversial , but also might have been overblown now that we've [...]

Story Summary: North Korean Leader has cool haircut, #trending with teens. He might be the real Unchill AZN Bro Hope he chills out. Kim Jong-un is 'totally hot right now', climbing up all the coolest blogs with his totally fashionable new haircut. I've seen tons of 'hot bros' around my neighborhood with the same haircut ever since the #menswear boom, but many of them are white and have more volume up top. Kim Jong-un is 'killing it' with [...]

Let's face it. We're in the middle of a shitstorm when it comes to Kim Jong-Un, dictator of North Korea. The guy reminds me of my ex-wife--I never know what the bitch is gonna pull. We are on a collision course for a North Korean attack on at least one major city during 2013. Besides Kim Jong-un's AMAZING haircut, there might not be much to look forward to after he levels the United States. Let's look on the brightside though. Because when life hands you lemons. Sometimes you just have to make lemonade. [...]

Yesterday, t he indie band released a new song and accompanying video . But that may have come at a cost as they lead up to their forthcoming album on April 12th. In the new video, they used images which might not have been theirs, which were partially stolen, but also potentially an homage to a previous director/film aesthetic. Additionally, at a recent live show, they made comments and had images that were also mildly controversial. People were upset, and some local internet sites wrote things about it. Some bloggers even wrote more [...]

So many people are going out of their way to praise today's trend . Every one is so fascinated, from Middle Americans to tweens to even the high-level internet. I say, "Why?" Perhaps this trend has become out of control, clouding the way we usually think. Today's trend has run wild, and even the persons who I once thought were self-aware have malformed opinions concerning today's trend . In a way, many of their points are valid, but at the same time, they are all so wrong. If anything, [...]

It is impossible to wander the internet these days on the type of sites that we read without running into today's trend. It seems as if the interest in this trend has truly captured our interest without the trouble of capturing our imagination. One thing is for sure, people will be talking about this trend, so it is important for us to write about it because I am confident that my readership is the only one that can truly dissect the trend in an authentic way. As a cultural commentator who sits around on the internet absorbing [...]

Over the course of 12 months, interest in the trend can make you profit margins that add up--that's right--in your piggy bank. [...]

It has just been released today that an indie band has released a new mp3/video that completely changes the game. Once again, they have done it again, completely disrupting what it is we think about the way bands should be now that we have entered the digital era. Their video is destined to go viral, with many zany images that exploit some sort of cultural interest. In a way, the product is diminished, but it is certain that they will reach new markets. The song features crescendoing guitars, dueling for space within the sound of tomorrow. The [...]

Every festival lineup ever TOTALLY EFFING SUCKS. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD AND EVERY LINEUP THAT WAS EVER RELEASED MUSIC FESTIVALS HAVE NEVER 'NAILED IT' NOR DO THEY EVER HAVE A CHANCE 2. ARE MUSIC FESTIVAL LINEUPS 'EFFING DOOMED'? The lineup just isn't as good as it was (n +/- ∞) years ago. Those are the headliners? Not the festival for me. My dog ate my festival bracelet. There's like barely any good bands playing. Did we really need for them 2 reunite? I'm glad [...]

I remember last year Every1 was buzzing abt 2pac still being alive [via hologram] [via the Coachella ] Now I see the 2k13 lineup Sure, there's plenty of relevant buzzbands playing live tunes in the picturesque city of Indio, CA But unfortunately There will be no 3d holograms There will be no dead ppl No1 will be brought back 2 life. There will be no resurrections Easter is on March 31, so I guess Jesus will be the [...]

One of the disorienting aspects about 'growing up' is how your perception of 'fame' evolves. If you are relatively smart/self-aware, you begin to deconstruct the contextual mechanisms that create and sustain 'fame.' Eventually, you find yourself feeling a little bit silly for worshipping athletes, singers, and humans with notoriety. You understand that the majority of 'famous' people aren't always living great lives', and aren't as rich as 'really, really rich people' anyways. The idea of being 'famous' as a means to have your entire life 'taken care of' seems to be absurd. Every one has problems, [...]

How do u break thru the noise of the internet? Not 4 the sake of $$$$$$ [via mad hitz] but returning to the pure vibes of Feelings on the Internet Do voices on the internet still resonate with ppl? Or do we now only follow ppl to 'hate follow' them as if they are some self-obsessed, delusional human being? Did we always? Is the internet still a place where ppl want 2 'be enriched' or has modern culture been simplified into slideshow content? Every website telling [...]

Sometimes I wonder 'Is live music REALLY that special?' 'Why do we care abt seeing songs live?' 'Do we even rlly want 2 see bands?' The answer is most likely, "NO." to all of those questions but we go 2 concerts not 2 be lonely and we only fight loneliness bc we are hornie. At the end of the day everything we do is motivated by sex [via Freud_bro] Concerts are no different Bros go in hopes of [...]

Since 2k8, the alt internet has been plagued by excessive oversharing masquerading as some sort of hyper-revelatory think-piece which serves as a larger metaphor for a Gen-Y existence. Young females write about 'feeling awkward' the first time they gave a blowjob. They write about how they slut around and it makes them feel empowered/empty. They write about how they feel about their gross, fat bodies. They write abt how 'omg i can't believe i actually want a relationship! That is so conventional for me 2 want true love.' They are like 'Relationships are SO DUMB but [...]

Brooke Candy burst on 2 the scene in some dumb Grimes video because she looked like a futuristic slutwaver . Now she is trying to become some sort of slutwave rapper. A complete disgrace to 'the game' if I believed that hiphop/rap was authentic, but I think she is just some rich girl rebelling against her comfortable upbringing by 'getting naked on the internet.' Whether you are posting nudes to your secret tumblr or creating a 'rap career' where you get naked, it's all the same game--bitches being bitches (on the internet). Anyways, this video [...]

In 2k12, I fell out of love with the indie music scene . My mind became clouded with the rise of the undeserving buzzbands, the broken way that blogs think they are supposed to post as much bullshit as possible, and my own drive to 'stay alive' by blogging abt shit that I don't even care about. I often think back to what 'formative spirit of indie' possessed me to even enjoy 'the scene' enough to start a blog about it. I've been trying to rediscover the elements that made it all fun. I forgot how 2 [...]
