i don’t usually comment on anything, but i wanted to say something.
it isn’t nice to stereotype anyone. at all. ever. in any format. even on something as mundane as a lorem ipsum text generator. it makes people feel insecure and stifles creativity. i feel constantly targeted as a “hipster” because i like art and have a connection with the earth, and i’m sick of it. how would you like it if i called you a yuppie?
@anonymous: take a chill pill. the fact that they call it a “hipster” ipsum means they’re trying to be tongue in cheek.
i will say, this is totally not appropriate to use in client materials. they have swear words in there. the tone of it is a little too much not to mention a lot of these will be dated in like, oh a year if they haven’t expired already.
This is more cute than useful because the word length and character distribution is not similar to a real text – unlike in the classical lorem ipsum (see also http://www.loremipsum.de/).
