I still listen to Carles' show on Sirius when I get a chance, which isn't very often. His internet presence is greatly missed, however.

Interesting, thanks senpai
Daniel Williams
the humor was pretty esoteric and specialized but if you were kind of in on the joke so to speak it was fucking hilarious
Jeremiah Jones
When Ariel Pink comes to my city to play at a relevant venue, I will stand at the front of the show, already familiarized with his extensive discography, ready to smile with a shit eating grin that says, "Yes, I get it.

we now have ripfork, they’re ok i guess
Blake Thomas
Carles once referred to CeeLo as "an asexual goo creature who only derives pleasure from diabetes-wave baked goods" which is something I still laugh about like every six months
Jackson Jackson
He got pretty shitty later on. Some of his articles were classic though

>When the word hipster was created?
Actually its usually said the word hipster have to meanings
The current meaning
And one used in 1940s or something like that, to talk about an subculture of the era.
An guy called Robert Lanhammade a book called The hipster handbook and was released on 2003, he says he made the book based on some guys from Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
This book had some sort of fame.
But actually he already did some text about it on his page freewilliansburg, the text was created on 2001 (can find the specific week when wayback machine website goes up), the page explained what hipster was, and even had some pictures of some guys that were suposedly hipster.
The strange thing is, he suposedly took a picture of those guys himself (he blurred the head because suposedly, a hipster wouldnt want to be a page about hipster), those guys are on a bar or something like that, anyway at some point of time on one picture, you see a guy changed his clothing with another guy, and that they used some carpet two times for different photos at different places of the bar. So this sound like it was some faked thing.
Anyway but this was not the first use of it, even wikipedia talks about an early 2000 The Times article talking about "bohemians", implying it was used before the 2003 book was released but people used other names.
But actually, an girl that interviewed jandek wrote an article for texas montly on August 1999 ( texasmonthly.com
>current definiton???
Yes, many websites say that ther eis a 40s subculture that was called hipster at the time.
This is actually true, on the book by KLF called, the manual or how to reach a number one the easy way

How old are people that 'remember' Hipster Runoff
Jackson Jackson
they say " The “cool cats” and hipsters of the early sixties might have thought modern jazz was going to finally break through when “Take Five” made the Hit Parade."
This book was released on 1988
Anyway the free williamsburg archieve is back again, here is the page I was talking about
web.archive.org
The article was released between march 2 2001 and march 9 2001
But the current hipster word goes back than august 1999 (the jandek page)
Some say the first use of the name was when on seinfeld someone called kramer a "hipster doofus", this is obviously not true, because the word hipster doofus came from a review of seinfeld made on december 1992 (and the author used the name because of the review)
theatlantic.com
>this is finally the first use of the name hipster??
Nope, some user said there is a 80s movie where the guy call himself a hipster, I dont know the name of this movie

Dr Evil calls Austin Powers an “Aging Hipster” in the first movie

Hipster's been around since near the beginning of the 20th century. The current concept of hipster is a manufactured identity based on certain products, fashions, and commercial tastes.

I’d also recommend gorilla vs bear and my old Kentucky blog if you like Carles.buzz.

>. The current concept of hipster is a manufactured
You can at the site of the creator of hipster hanbook (that started to talk about hipster before the book), that there is a picture of hipsters at a bar or something with their faces blurred.
But you can see some of the hipster change his clothing and remove the glasses,
The red carpet they use to shoot the phots, is the same one they sit to listen to music and the same they sit to eat.

its like the entire thing was manufactured
Jordan Scott
The article about the death of white mans indie is so good because it’s completely true. Pitchfork giving Kanye a 10.0 marked their shift away from indie rock and into hip hop/pop which gave us what pitchfork is today. Unbearable.

Heard the name but never browsed it much
Jack Davis

If you want to start a trend you have to associate it with certain products. That way the people that want to follow your trend can do so by buying the products.
David Sanders
It was always lame imo. Was clearly written by some suburban guy doing a really dated, off-point impression, being really ironic not realizing that straight up irony was already really dead by then. And then a lot of other people who weren't really caught up on the stuff he talked about, other suburban nerds, posted ironically and it was just really cringey and boring.
Adam Miller
28. The slutwave article was pure gold.
Hunter Flores
Who remembers Is Anyone Up?
Jose Fisher
was one of the best sites for sure. responsible for so much of the snark newer music writers use
Aiden Price
indie rock sucks anyways
Jason Murphy
28, I feel like the site definitely encapsulated the college music "experience" of the mid/late 2000s.
Noah Hernandez
hipster runoff had this to say on Grimes
>She has a doomed Twitter brand. It will eventually lead to emotional outbursts, oversharing, displays of rage/jealousy, or general Best-Coastian stupidity [via simplicity].
well they aren't wrong. that's basically her twitter career now, but that's what's popular lmao.

Used to get some good laughs from it.

The sad thing is HRO mocked a culture that’s won. Clickbait rules. Content is king. I hope Carles is happy on the content farm in the sky.
Zachary James
Fuck CKY

>tfw can't find any mention of "who is the crystal castlest of them all?"
Did I make this up in my memory?
Matthew Reed
Does anyone remember that review that the pitchfork founder gave where he imitated Alex De Large and then imitated a black guy? There was even a flash animation of it.
Jack Smith
29 reporting in.
I remember when Sup Forums was good. I remember when you could refresh the front page without seeing a ITAOTS thread. I remember when MPP came out. I remember when Kanye got 10.0. I remember.
Tyler Carter
>tfw you realize the hipster culture of the 2000s was fucked up by corporate suits even harder than grunge
The machine will swallow everyone eventually.
Parker Turner
take it from somebody who was actively involved in The Music Scene before MBDTF got reviewed by pitchfork: you aren't missing anything. like, holy shit, the sheer volume of boring, contrived white dude music out there is astounding CURRENTLY. imagine being as obtuse as to think that wilco are the standard for "good" or "artful" music.
go read tinymixtapes if you want opinions on music that isn't shoehorned into the """"""""underground""""""""" music scene. or, alternately, kill yourself, because you are a fucking cuckold for relying on pitch-fucking-fork of all outlets to cater your music tastes.
Brandon Green
I had a simultaneous fascination with and repulsion to Hipster Runoff and htmlgiant in the mid to late naughts. Halcyon days.
Adam Nelson

Everyone saw that shit happening, it was something that was just realized.
Hudson Ortiz
Corporations sunk their claws into everything that was hipster or close to it. Even mopeds.

Even if your criticisms are right, you spent the years were hipster was growing and at its peak in your room. Seeing it on the internet doesn't make you part of it.
Aiden Rogers
26, didn't really "get it" as a high school kid who unironically loved Animal Collective but that makes it more funny in hindsight.
Mason Nelson
what years were those? spent a good amount of time riding a moped smoking parliament 100s and drinking pbr in basement shows in local Cool Area of Major City
Nathaniel Ward
I didnt say I was part of anything, why does it really matter?
Owen Mitchell
no, HRO was operating on higher irony levels

One of the only interviews I've ever read.. and all this time I forgot that Jandek takes the blue pill
Logan Edwards
Mopeds are a hipster thing but he's not a hipster.
Evan Nguyen

Jackson Jenkins
I read hro since before alt report existed, and you're worse at aping his tone than anyone else I've ever seen, to the point where I feel genuine anger over the retroactive desecration of an ironic consciously detached dead blog

Look at this dumb motherfucker. Reads one dfw essay and it stopped him from understanding anything else he comes into contact with for the rest of his life.
Elijah Moore

Asher Russell
wow, he really predicted just how hard pitchfork would shift away from indie (and therefore white music) and towards hip-hop
Jacob Rogers
kill yourself you fat fuck

“I need more drinks and less lights/ And that American Apparel girl in just tights/ She told the director she tryna get into school/ He said 'Take them glasses off and get in the pool.'”
