This may seem like an obvious question, but I'm a beginning web designer that is trying to learn web design on my own. I know that these "blocks" are Tumblr specific, but don't know why {block:Hidden} is needed here. I was under the assumption that these meta ifs and names would already be hidden. And why aren't the two lines after {/block:Hidden} in the Hidden block?

Hidden Block is a group of video game-based internet personalities, similar to Normal Boots. It consists of Balrog the Master, Caddicarus, BrutalMoose, SpaceHamster, Jimmy Whetzel, and Yungtown.
You can use a hide-block-if condition to check if the condition is true for any data block and then hide it.
Explanation: The Hide block is a Looks block and a Stack block. If the block's sprite is shown, it will hide the sprite — if the sprite is already hidden, nothing happens. This block is one of the most commonly used Looks blocks.
Meta tags are not rendered by the browser, like every other tag in <head>. They are there but "invisible" to the user. Some are read by the browser, some are read by search engines and in this case some are read by Tumblr.
Since Tumblr's meta tags (or theme options) are usually not needed outside Tumblr itself, you can use {block:Hidden} to prevent them from appearing in the generated HTML, thus saving bandwidth.
{block:Hidden} is not in the docs because it does not exist. For that reason, Tumblr never shows its content. {block:NOPE} or any other non-existent block would work the same way.
The meta tags outside that block are not Tumblr-related; They need to appear in the generated code and thus to be sent to the browser. Here's an article if you want to know more about the viewport meta tag.
