The magazine's stated goal is to be a "one-stop news source for internet-savvy street fashion enthusiasts frustrated with having to browse multiple sites to keep up with the latest information." It has become a major aggregator of urban fashion content on the web, and is the source for many of the images posted on fashion blogs across the web. Format Magazine, another major streetwear publication, alone has used over 600 hypebeast images in its news feed. It has been reviewed by various blogs as one of the most authoritative and user friendly sites of its kind.
Original Meaning of Hypebeast

I couldn’t write a better description of the site myself so I used wiki to explain the site. Is not because I’m lazy, I just honestly think that they did a way better job at describing the site better than me.
Now let’s talk about this site in my personal opinion.
Well, I go on this site mainly because it talks about things that I’m interested in, and is relevant to my life, such as music, fashion, tech, design and art. (Yes, I’m a very artistic person in someway.)
Umm, I can’t really think of anything that I want to change on the site, if there is anything that unsatisfied me on the site is that will be the editorial content. Sometimes when they have posts up, they should include more detail and reading on that item or event, and there are very little photography, usually just one picture and thats it, sometime I have to read the comments on the bottom of the post to find out more. Another thing I don’t really like and wish they can remove it, is the Ads by Google banner on the site, it catches my eyes every time I go on it and makes me feel its a cheap site, and it doesn’t work with the design layout of the site at all.
Excellent blog post Dennis, well-written and definitely made me visit the site immediately and already had me interested. Thanks for introducing me to it, as I've already added it to the sites I visit often. Again, great post you Hypebeast.
