How hard is it to repost press releases? Everyone takes themselves way too seriously now.

I'm not getting why they felt they needed such a long explanation. It was a fan site for a band, not the impeachment of the President. Do they think people are crying themselves to sleep?

The Hipsters United people always reminded me of that guy we all knew in college who wrote an 80 page gushy fanboy paper about Foghat with footnotes, then wondered why the Masters committee said it didn't constitute an academic thesis.
I mean, read that explanation. You're a bunch of fan boys who can't understand why SP isn't relevant 15+ years after their prime, not some group of intellectuals setiously peering into sociology like you'd want people to believe. The fact you can't see that makes you the dumbest people in the room, not the smartest, flowery language aside. |

I mean if that post is genuine I think it's pretty coll. Some integrity in creating a blog with a purpose and cutting it off when it has served that purpose. Sad for fans of it though

Those guys were just a bunch of dumb narcissistic turds. And it appears that hasn't changed.

A poorly thought out since I clearly said in my imaginary scenario that the kid who wrote an essay about Foghat DIDN'T have it accepted as a Master's thesis.

maybe if the whole website wasn't built on mindlessly defending corgan then they would have been forced to do actual writing and we wouldn't have this problem

My god that was bloated. They must have been talking about a different site altogether. Since when did HU actually serve any of those high-minded purposes they describe? And yeah, I guess it is more disturbing to think this person was actually a grad student. Of what, mathematics? Clearly if it was journalism or something we'd be in trouble.

All herald Hipsters United, thine influence was heard 'round the world! It is quite astonishing that they had such a consistent standard of transcendent excellence that will shine on in the hearts of many intrepid bloggers that will no doubt emulate the veritable news agency's determined example of being about stuff. I say, SHINE ON HIPSTERS UNITED, and may tomorrow be a better day for all of us!

I liked it for the "They are gonna be on TV this week" posts and the "Jimmy will be making an appearance here" posts. I'd rather not know what's going on with the band then read the O-site and Monty's site.
