5 Magnificent Memes [Mashable Awards]

there’s really no denying that this was the year that the plaid-clad ones became a certifiable meme.

"From the roots of blogs like Hipster Runoff and _Look At This F**king Hipster_ sprung a whole genre of Internet culture devoted to poking fun at "the hipster." See: _Unhappy Hipster_s, Hipster Puppies, Hipster Wife Hunting,If Superheroes Were Hipsters, Hipster Dating, and, of course, corporate America’s attempt at getting in on the game: How Much Hipster Can You Fit in a Jazz?"

The only thing you can do now, the only religious thing you can do, is act.

"The only thing you can do now, the only religious thing you can do, is act. Act for God, if you want to— be God’s actress, if you want to. What could be prettier? You can at least try to, if you want to —there’s nothing wrong in trying." There was a slight pause. "You’d better get busy, though, buddy. The goddam sands run out on you every time you turn around. I know what I’m talking about. You’re lucky if you get time to sneeze in this goddam phenomenal world."

As Nietzsche spoke, so too Salinger. (from Franny and Zooey)

Whenever I’m writing a paper there are two albums I can’t get enough of

The Shepherd’s Dog, by Iron & Wine, and Wincing the Night Away, by the Shins. I become obsessed with these albums whenever I’m working. I couldn’t tell you why, but playing them back to back on a loop is how I have written every paper since my third year of undergrad. At this point the association with essay writing is so strong that I can’t listen to them if I’m not working, or I start to feel like I’m procrastinating.
