HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF

SLUTWAVE is named Genre of the Year by Rolling Stone Magazine

Posted: 12 Dec 2010 04:25 PM PST


HIPSTER RUNOFF is a popular weblog that is known for creating the popular kewl genre 'chillwave', which took the indiesphere 'by storm' in 2k9, but then it died in late 2k10. Many people said to Carles, the blogger from HIPSTER RUNOFF, "Chillwave was the prime of ur blog. It's over, bro. Hang it up. Hang it up. No more relevant genres will be invented on the internet."

Boy, were they wrong. The Gods of Music, AKA Rolling Stone Magazine have named 'SLUTWAVE' to be the genre of the year.

This is truly a great moment for the slutwave genre, 'going mainstream', letting ppl who read mainstream magazines instead of blogs that artists like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Ke$ha are all riding slutwaves bc they care more abt getting naked than they do abt writing good mp3s.

Recently, the Alt Report published a story that 'questioned the relevance' of Rolling Stone Magazine. [link]

However, now that they have honored the slutwave genre as a relevant mainstream trend, it seems like Rolling Stone is now a relevant magazine that just likes 2 sit at home and jerk off to titties just as much as the next bro.

Who will be next to honor the slutwave genre?
a) SPIN Magazine
b) The New york Times
c) NME
d) The Guardian
e) MTV
f) FUSE
g) Lopez Hilton Celeb Blogs
h) The Wall Street Journal
i) Choose ur own relevant media publisher

Will u ride the slutwave b4 it is too late?

Is SLUTWAVE a relevant genre?
Is SLUTWAVE mnstrm?
Who is the #1 slutwave artist?
Do yall still think that Ke$ha's pix covered in cum were the #1 moment in slutwave history?

Has slutwave gone 'more mainstream' than chillwave?
Are there more opportunities for emerging genres in 2k11?
Is slutwave chill bc is it just abt 'shaking titties' and 'looking fine'?
Is this a 'great moment' in HIPSTER RUNOFF history, or just another meme?
Will Carles 'invent' another relevant genre in 2k11, or is his streak 'in jeopardy'?

Hi

(also known as a mutt)

My owner is Gregg Gillis, also known as the Girl Talk
He recently tweeted a picture of me
2 take my brand to the next level
I have a lot of shit planned

I'm a chill bro--I promise.

U can call me Wally the Dog
But most of my friends call me Wally Talk
Gregg is generally a chill bro
but kinda gets annoying when he is working on his album
so I tell his ass to 'put his headphones on'
so that I don't have to hear ghetto ass rap samples all day
Personally, I think he peaked with Night Ripper
but u know... whatever pays the bills
Don't care if he just plays college campuses and lamestream bars any more
At the end of the day
U gotta pay the bills
but more importantly
U gotta feed Wally Talk

Do yall <3 Wally Talk?

R u on #TeamSnacks or #TeamWally?
Are dogs better pets than cats?
Are dogs for 'grown ass men'?
Are cats for 'lonely females'?
Which indie pet has a more promising career?
Will Gregg Gillis put in the necessary resources 2 make sure Wally the Dog has a bloggable career?
Do u wish the blogosphere would stop focusing on animals, and start focusing on blogworthy mp3s?

Pitchfork 'pans the fuck' out of the new Daft Punk album, gives it a 5.5

Posted: 12 Dec 2010 11:35 AM PST


Daft Punk has some new album out that is the soundtrack to the hit film TRON: LEGACY. A lot of ppl are confused bc ur supposed to be all like 'aw hell yeah! Daft Punks rules! <3 their new album', but then they realize this is just a movie soundtrack and Daft Punk got paid 'mad Disney dollars' to produce this.

Anyways, Pitchfork panned it with a 5.5, which is still probs 'very generous' because of what a huge letdown this album is. Really wonder if Daft Punk's career is 'ovr', at least in authentic indie alt circles. Worried that they are going to 'hit rock bottom' and end up having 2 DJ at Mexi electro raves in Southern California.

Here is the first paragraph where they are like "THIS IS NOT A DAFT PUNK ALBUM, BUT IT STILL SUCKS BECAUSE DAFT PUNK SOLD OUT AND WENT AFTER DISNEY MONEY":

This is not the new Daft Punk album. It's a score for a Disney franchise film that cost an estimated $200 million to make. As such, there are lots of classical-inspired strings and horns played by an 85-strong orchestra. Most of the soundtrack's 22 pieces don't last more than three minutes; only a few could be considered actual songs. And while we knew this was going to be a score since it was first reported nearly two years ago, it's tough to shake the gloom of blown expectations while listening to the same ominous theme as it repeats in slightly mutated forms across the hour-long soundtrack. The French duo's current move is almost undeniably disappointing, but it's also not a surprise.

Pitchfork says that Daft Punk has moved to a 'smoke and mirrors' model bc they just hide behind their gimmicks.

Daft Punk aren't the same two guys who made Homework and Discovery. Over the course of the last decade, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have increasingly relied on images to complement-- and sometimes justify-- their music.

Always used to think that maybe 1 day Dafties could get a 10.0... Guess I was wrong.

Wonder if Daft Punk made some sort of 'deal with the devil' and now they have eternal writer's block.

Here is another great 'pan quote':

Daft Punk haven't even attempted a can't-miss song in at least five years, and the Tron: Legacy soundtrack keeps that unfortunate streak alive.

Miss u Homework and Discovery.

So basically Daft Punk's whole 'robot gimmick' has gotten stale, and bc they haven't made any good mp3s lately, it looks more like it is a 'gimmick' that they are hiding behind so they can be all lazy and go after Disney money.

Watching the movie, I couldn't help but think that this was Daft Punk's attempt at topping their legendary pyramid tour. Theoretically, by teaming up with Disney and the most high-tech cameras and surround-sound systems and recording facilities known to man, the two could could dive bomb into the minds of millions of people in one immense opening weekend and stay consistent with their man vs. machine ideology-- all without leaving the comfort of their own homes.

Here is a 'sick closer' where they say Daft Punk has gone mainstream and no longer has authentic priorities and they should be effing ashamed of themselves:

Daft Punk used to be a couple of guys hellbent on making genius dance music who happened to wear goofy robot helmets. Along the way, though, their priorities seem to have changed.

Is Daft Punk's career 'over'?
Has Daft Punk 'lost it'?
R u tired of Daft Punk's gimmicks?
Are u so bitter abt the fall of Daft Punk that their 'good albums' now make u angry and don't allow u 2 party?
Will Daft Punk evr get their electro swagger back, or is it 'ovr'?
R u gonna see TRONNIE?
Is TRON gonna 'tank'?
Is Disney gonna be pissed that they hired robots to score their movie?
Has Daft Punk 'settled'/'given up' on their career?
