For those interested in internet and meme culture, there's a strangely enjoyable minidrama playing out at Hipster Runoff, triggered by a purported hack of the site. It's now spawned a hilarious video post responding to the comments of the hacker's critics. Whether it is genuine or not is debatable — surely this is another Hipster Runoff heteronym? — but, either way, the video is something to behold. It reads like a painfully accurate take on anti-cultural pop-philosophical nihilism, referencing the likes of Fight Club and soundtracked by Linkin Park's "In The End".
