Mirror Mirror



The web site I will be reviewing is http://www.hipsterrunoff.com

The web site talks about things happen in the modern day Alt/Hipster scene.

The word hipster comes from the West African word "hipi", meaning "to open one's eyes" or it is slang for opium. Either way its a good time, wink. Hey what dose opium mean? Its like a huluahoop right.

To understand this website you must understand the hipster. If you are the adventuring type, be sure to book a safari to one of these places. Wicker Park, Silver lake, Williamsburg, Portland, Austin, or Seattle.

Or Hell heck you can look in the halls and oats of this fine College or any art school, Its filled with people who willing to gentrifi you and your belongings.




You could Even consider the Arthur of this article to be a hipster. Above is an illustrated likeness.

Tho his (my) knowledge of Star Trek, would concider him to be a geek, Rather then a Hipster.

Maybe he or they all use's cheep flannel as a disguise, to be part of a larger whole that isn't part of the larger whole.

Or is it Just the Alt/indie music scene is just to sweet for them to not devour.
(By the way did you check out the Crystal Castles song Empathy, Its a pretty rad jam Bro
( O ya I knew of Crystal Castles back in O 5. I was at there first show. It was just me and this dude Dave.))


On The web site Hipster Run off things like this and many more are discaused.

The site dosn't review art it self but rather the people that make it, and are Fanatic's of it.

It take's time to review different aspects of the scene in a satirical way, witch is all most necessary with people who some times take there obsession too seriously.

So check it!

  2. I liked the review, I will check out the site. Your last line has a mistake- "witch," should be spelled, "which."

  3. I can't help but feel lost and confused after reading this one... Everything seems to jump around too much and there are a ton of spelling/grammar errors. I think you might have spent a little too much time in the opium den with the hipsters before writing this one ::wink::
