He's special.
On topic, I have a myspace account, but it's not very important to me. Just another place to waste away precious hours, if you ask me. I see some of the peoples' profiles on there and you can tell that they spent waaaaay too much time on it.

Heres a little piece of info for ya, myspace is actually a huge market research campaign, its owned by rupert murdoch, yeah, the GOP guy, and guess what they do, sell collected and sorted myspace info (favfood, music, art...etc. ad infinitum) to people like nike and A&F, and, while doing this, the users isolate themselves from society, just think, the point is to find their neighbours and people nearby, but instead of going to physically find them, they chat...with their neighbours...thats right...

Well props to them on that.. that's plain genious. Myspace blew up. I don't personally like it, but I know a lot of people that do. Also, I use AIM to talk to people that live 40 feet away

ahh..but individuality previously, in publishing terms, took a great bit of will power to get out and actually publish your work (zines being my favortie form of publishing) now it has made it so that lazy anti-social 17 yr old can publish his rantings on something he has never seen or even fully grasps in a matter of seconds. Just because it is individual doesn't mean it's desirable. I hate stupidity, and i will aggresively attack it in society...i myself am no continual font of inspiration, but jesus, some people don't even want to inspire or educate, they want "comments". that in my opinion is bad. Now, I also have to concede to the point that there are good writers out there on myspace, and i have from time to time been shown a blog that was both provocative and intelligent..i can't say that for most of my rants...but, i would rather have those inspiring pieces on paper than on this LCD screen o' mine...again, this is subjective whether you like it or not, it can be individual, even inspiring, but i don't like it.
**edited to say i'm an idiot, and that i should have just said, don't care if you like it or not for a reason bad or good, just wanted to see some opinions...

only thing that gets me is when peeps take pictures from strange angles. I mean.. just take a picture of your face so I dont have to look at 5 different angles and try to piece them all together to find out what your face looks like.

i hate myspace..................
for a few reasons
-i used to have one, before it got SUPER popular...........and i met a guy on there.. we dated for awhile.........i fell in love.........and he was still chillin' on myspace, meeting up with girls........ i got super parinoid, and sick of it, so i got rid of him, and my myspace.
-when you have a myspace.......all these random people add you as a friend... and alot of them are in your area.... so, when you go out in public, you sometimes see these people that are on your friends list..... but they look nothing like their pictures, but you can tell its them.... and if you get caught looking at them to try and figure out where you know them from, you exchange a very weird awkward moment of eye contact.... and your not sure whether or not to go say..."hi, i'm your friend on myspace." or, even worse, try to remember their name.....
-myspace becomes fucking addicting. yeah, i'll admit it.........i sat up on my laptop countless nights until 4 am, just looking through all the people, their pictures, looking at hot guys, and hot chicks-trying to decide who likes who, and who's cool, and who's not..... it's ridiculous. it felt like high school all over........
-one more reason: right before i decided to delete my page, alot of people that i went to school with were finding me on there, and adding me as their friend..........but i didn't want a god damn thing to do with them........ it was scary when a 250 lbs chick that i was in band class with for 4 years sends me a message on there telling me how she's a lesbian and how she always had a huge crush on me, and how she wants me to hang out..... AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
and i think that the best move i've made in my life so far is deleting my myspace. i think it's a cult, and all it's memebers are being brainwashed and they don't even know it.
hahaha

I love MySpace. I've met so many awesome people on there. I recently flew to Cali and met like 1/3 of all the Ca. people on my friends list and they all rocked.
It depends on how you use it. It can connect you to old friends as well as new.

All you Myspace haters don't know what you're missing.
Narcissism, ego-stroking, cute members of the opposite sex, no-strings attached flirting....all of these things are in full effect on Myspace and I love it.

There are a lot of cool people on Myspace. There is this stereotype that only dorky emo people are on Myspace. Not so! There are hippies and hipsters galore on there.

Myspace is teh suck!!!!!!
thank you for making this thread.
Chances are, if your on myspace, you name is Taylor or Tyler (guy or girl), your favorite accessory is a scarf, you strive to have atleast one jacket/coat which is unique (to anyone in your area), use hair gel, and have atleast one tattoo or peircing and constantly talk about Myspace, or try to tell people about "OMG, I am like, So addicted to Myspace, Like I spend hours on it, it is like, so addicting.... OMG, I love this song, turn it up, Modest Mouse is the shit!"

thank you for making this thread.
Chances are, if your on myspace, you name is Taylor or Tyler (guy or girl), your favorite accessory is a scarf, you strive to have atleast one jacket/coat which is unique (to anyone in your area), use hair gel, and have atleast one tattoo or peircing and constantly talk about Myspace, or try to tell people about "OMG, I am like, So addicted to Myspace, Like I spend hours on it, it is like, so addicting.... OMG, I love this song, turn it up, Modest Mouse is the shit!"
:clap: Kudos to blatant stereotyping.
By the way, Modest Mouse is the shit.
so.... let me guess.... your on Myspace... right?

Nope.
I just don't give a fuck what people do with their own time. It's somewhat pathetic that it bothers you so much.

SO, it wasnt you, who a few days ago, egged OMR to get a myspace account in exchange for you playing WoW?
(I could be wrong in this, Im too lazy to do a search)
Also, it doesnt bother me, but it is a trendy thing, and therefor deserves ridicule.

Also, is it really stereotyping when anyone can look at these guys... (which is oasis btw)
and tell that they are Myspace whores?
I like to think that when I walk down the street, I havent given people enough information to know which websites I frequent, just by looking at me.

I hate it...but its kinda cool to search for funky kick ass bands. Its rare though.
In all my searching for worthy music, Ive found maybe 2-3 from myspace. So Im going with 98% - 97% crap.

ok, hated myspace before that gf, just making a point, it can be a strange addiction, and sweet jesus, that just creeped me out. Anywho, i do like modest mouse, i have them on vinyl and on mah computer, I'm not saying i don't like the scene commonly associated with it, and i think that this really is the new counter-culture, I mean, a large portion of the previous generation either doesn't understand or care about myspace outside of marketing analysis, and cool shit can be happening there, I thought this would be an appropriate topic to rile(sp?) people up, and I was right, people being critical of this thread are confusing me, if you don't care, or at least say we shouldn't, why post. Thats to you post haters.
On to topic, It saddens me that an entire generation could possibly become social only through the internet, sure lol and stfu are great and I use them all the time, but it shows more of language degredation through impatience, as nietzsche said, "the american disease is even spreading to europe, they have a passion for continuaos action, they can't just sit and enjoy their coffee, they have to have their coffee and read their paper, they are destroying en vita contempliva by always doing something, any time they take in silence they ungracefully sprawl themselves out and think about what they are going to do tommorow." not exact wording, but pretty close. I think this is true of the internet in general (I type at 1 in the morning rather than drawing on my piece) and yes I am a hypocrite, but fsk, at least I know I'm an idiot. Like I mentioned, the myspace generation is full of "individuality" and all that bull crap, but personally, with a couple billion people in the world, I'm sure there are a couple others out there that are just like me in almost every virtual sense. I think internet socializing is great, but for some reason get that myspace is pushing for conformity through its advertising and whatnot. I mean, if i look around i see clothes ads and cellphone ads. Actually, this is one reason the shroomery is never my preferred spot, advertising. i see it almost every waking moment of my day, and sometimes i feel like i'm insane. should i just like this and be quiet like everyone else, but then i was raised that apeasers think that feeding a lion steak every day will make them a vegetarian. wow, tangent tangent tangent, and for the dead heads I'm typing to beyond-purple light right now, yah, i shouldn't be typing...back to the drawing...

some people on myspace are pretty creepy. this girl in my friends list IM'd me one day saying the 'guy she was seeing' took her out of his top eight list and she was feeling self-destructive and thought she might do something she'd regret. now this is an stranger pretty much, and a 20 year old 'adult'. very sad.
on the other hand myspace is great for keeping up with the local music scene and for finding old friends you've lost contact with. that's what i use it for. me and my friends mostly use it for that and to creep people out with bizarre mock racist/homosexual blogs and blurbs. we entertain ourselves i guess.

myspace has about 60 million accounts...so i think it's a safe bet that all sorts of people use it.

i have mixed feelings about myspace. for the record i DO have a myspace, & it serves my purposes perfectly. to keep in contact with people i know, ppl ive met, as well as meeting new females.  now i dont actively go chickhunting on there. i dont have time for that shit. i just wait it out for them to find me =] effortless. i swear. haha im going out wednesday night with a gurl ive met strictly from myspace. we've hung out twice already, shes' really nice, smart, goddess beautiful, & a little shy. what im tryin to say, is that there isnt a stereotype of people on myspace, really. there is all types of differnet people on there, all on there own pages in life, just like there are in real life.
what DOES bother me are the people who spend ALL day & night on there, replacing human interaction with cyber entertainment. that is NOT healthy. the same could be said about some people here posting on the shroomery. maybe it bothers me because i was once guilty of it & know how damaging it really is.

I'm on myspace. I use it like an extended version of email. Check it maybe two or three times a week. Granted, there are a lot of douche bag types on there. At best, it's good for a laugh every once in a while. But just like in real life.. if there's someone I don't like, I wont talk to them, or look at them, or give them any attention, even hate.
Frankly, I don't understand people who have such a big problem with it. It's not hurting you. Sure, lots of stupid emo fuckers with low self-esteem use it to whack their ego. (however that works.. ) But those aren't the only people using it, and those are not the only reasons people use it for.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. At all. It gives people a free and easy way for them to express themselves. If you have such a big problem with it, don't go there.
But as for me.. I've met some very cool people on there. And because of it, I've come into contact with long lost friends from high school and beyond that I lost contact with long ago and thought I would never see or talk to again. So I think it's cool.
The way I have my page set up, I don't usually get stupid band invites and random stupid people messaging me. Well some random people.. but usually cool ones. Because I'm cool.
But yeah a lot of people are pretty dumb and clueless. Don't hate myspace for that. It's the government's fault. And TV. And society. These are the same people you will see when you walk outside, or go to the store, or school, or work. Gives you an idea of how they think.
Frankly, people and situations in real life piss me off a lot more. Myspace just gives you a peek into their mind.

Crikey... intelligent, balanced comments about Myspace, now THAT'S something i wasnt expecting to see this morning! 
Some people with their self-righteous "i'm sooo much better than you coz i h8 Myspace" attitudes are no better than the millions of generic fucktards that make it embarrassing to have an account there in the first place. I cant stand the little maggot farmers, but i choose not to waste my time on them. Ive found some old friends and shitloads of cool music so as with anything, you gotta take the rough with the smooth.
What the fuck is "emo" anyway?!

On saying that though, every time i go there it makes me feel like deleting my account, ripping out my hard drive and nuking that shit in the microwave.
Like 40oz said, Myspace can be cool if used in the right way (not obsessively)... but i still feel as though i've caught something from it every time i log on for more than an hour.
Eugh...

While i see why people really have a strong distaste for myspace, it has been quite usefull for me....
Ive managed to find so many old friends whom without that stupid website i probably would never have been able track down 
Myspace, good for networking, beyond that all the hallow superficial assmonkeys on there will give you migraines.

Id like to think that people dont actively hate Myspace.
I have absolutely no need for it. Keep up with the music scene? I am a pillar of the music scene. Find old friends? thats what high school reunions are for, and frankly, if they have become a Myspace whore, I would rather leave them be and we can both think that the other is cool and doing well.
I dont get it.... what can you do on Myspace, that you cant do on here? or any forum? I have actually heard people say "Ive seen that guy on Myspace".... wtf?
While Im sure that not everyone on Myspace is scarf and converse clad emo hipster, those are the vocal and socially prominent majority of them, and thusly deems the overall stereotype.

I think it's silly to hate Myspace.
For every thing that a huge group of people latch onto to make popular, an equally huge group of peopl jump out and say they hate it.
Once it becomes cool to like something it becomes "edgy cool" to hate it, and hating on popular shit is no less of a trendhopping thing to do than loving a popular thing.
Here's a fact: Sixteen year olds are annoying. That's always been the case. It was different when you were sixteen though, back then sixteen year olds seemed pretty cool. You just didn't realize how much of a douchebag you were.
Since there's a lot of sixteen year olds on myspace, there's a lot of irritating bullshit on there.
But Myspace is a HUGE community. Anyone can join, and anyone can post on there. So yeah, there's a lot of dumb kids, but there's also a lot of cool people.
I also thought Myspace was lame until I signed up. But when I joined, something really cool happened. All kinds of people from around my town who I'd either just seen walking down the street, or kind of known casually became actual friends. I talk to them on MSN, and stop them in the street and converse. People who weren't friends became close to me, and that's really, really cool.
For that, I have to praise Myspace.

yeah, i wake up every morning hoping people think I am cool for hating on Myspace. in fact, our community of counter-counter culture has made me tons of friends. All the mysanthropic people I pass on the street or knew slightly now have created a bond with me through our mutual distrust of trendy emo people....
yeah.....

Oh, come on. It's not like people who are doing things do be cool are 100% concious of what they're doing.
And Myspace certainly isn't composed entirely of trendy emo people. It's all kind of people, and like I said, because of it I've turned many aquaintances into actual friends. Only a small handful might be considered "emo", but in my experience, "emo" people are just people. They're of no greater or lesser value than others.

They are the dredges of society. The epitome of american culture. They are souless.
Since when did everyone need a website to meet people? seems to be an evolving personal deficiency in people if you ask me. Have we become so desensitized as a nation that we are unable to strike up a conversation in person, or just stop a random stranger and get to know them without having to go through a personal webpage which is often a false representation of themselves?

Nobody "needs" a website to meet people, but without the website, I wouldn't have met the same number of people as I did, simple as that.
A lot of people seem to think that everything new, everything popular, and everything cool, is unecessary and evil, and anyone who benefits from, or enjoys these things is somehow inferior from others. This is nonsense, a kind of silly elitism where one believes that they can become superior to others by avoiding the things that others enjoy.
I mean, come on, they're the "dreges of society" simply because they visit a certain website and like a certain style of music?
Is it not shallow to judge someone's character so deeply based on such menial things?

Sometimes it's easier to just talk to someone else without the nervousness having to be in their presence.
I can meet people any way. I like meeting people through myspace and in RL.

When has it been normal to stop a random stranger and strike up a conversation? I don't think that's ever been a normal human practice. Perhaps in situations of intense boredom, like in an airport, but not everyday. Because of sites like Myspace, it's BECOME normal.

I think it has always been normal, but then again, I was born and raised in the south.

Another note:
This isn't just about Myspace, but about the internet as a whole.
There have always been really shy people. Teenagers in particular who grow up with a lot of difficulty making friends. They're the kids who feel hated and isolated most of their lives.
Because of the internet, IRC, Myspace, and MSN, these kids have had the chance to make friends. To have social networks, and to develop their self esteems.
Is there something wrong with that?

A lot of people seem to think that everything new, everything popular, and everything cool, is unecessary and evil, and anyone who benefits from, or enjoys these things is somehow inferior from others. This is nonsense, a kind of silly elitism where one believes that they can become superior to others by avoiding the things that others enjoy.
Kind of like Scientology? hypocrite.... And how does Myspace really improve ones life? I hope it was obvious that I was being facetious when I talked about emo kids. I dont think I am being elitist, I just find it laughable how serious they take Myspace and life in general.

Is it not shallow to judge someone's character so deeply based on such menial things?
No, not at all, because when you don a certain "image", an idea of what you deem yourself to be, you are openning yourself up to interpretation. You are asking for stereotyping and judgement. Like a woman who wears a shirt that shows off her tits, she is asking people to look at her breasts and make a judgement on them.

What makes you say that? I don't see any evidence that people are seeing each other in person any less frequently...
Kind of like Scientology? hypocrite.
What the hell does this have to do with Scientology? Myspace is a site where people meet and talk to one another. Scientology is a bunch of bullshit a science fiction writer made up, claimed had all kinds of magical effects, and made people pay to get involved in.
But oh yeah, I don't believe that some science fiction writer figured out the secret of the human mind just by making up a bunch of stuff, but I do think that it's okay to meet people on a website, I must be a HUGE hypocrite.
And how does Myspace really improve ones life?
Well, I never actually said that Myspace improves ones life, but I think that a new way to meet more people is a good thing.
No, not at all, because when you don a certain "image", an idea of what you deem yourself to be, you are openning yourself up to interpretation.
And this makes sense how?
People do dress in certain ways to convey certain messages, but that doesn't mean that everyone who dresses a certain way is exactly the same.
By that logic, it's perfectly fair to say that every single person who showers, shaves, gets haircuts, wears pants, is a complete idiot. They're obviously making an effort to present themselves a certain way, right? So that makes it's fair to hate them down to the core.

Deciding you're superior to shy people and calling them the "dregs" of society, and "soulless" is your personal taste"?
That just sounds like being an asshole to me.

How familiar with Myspace are you anyways? Did you register an account and spend some time tracking down local communities? Or did you just see a couple kids pages, hear a news report or two, and decide that it's replacing social interaction and must be evil?

I am referring to Myspacers greeting other people.... The first question is usually asking your name, and then what your mysace account is, and if you have none, the conversation turns to how you need to get one, and that is the end of it. Like you need to have a myspace account to interact with the person.

Try to apply what you just said about tolerance of all kinds of people, and how if something is joyful and good for someone, why hate on it? thats why you are a hypocrite..... is that not making a connection for you at all? see the relation?

I never used the word hate. I dont hate anyone really, its too much effort. Ridicule however is fun. Yes, by creating your image, you are asking people to interpret who you are by a first impression. I dont know how to say it anymore simple. outside of hygiene it is fluff, personal aesthetics, which is superflous and not needed for survival or human interaction. basically, outside of utilitarian things, it is personal image projection, and is therefor asking to be judged.

Right! i am an asshole, I just cant find the certain style which can show that to people. I cant figure out which converse shoes and t-shirt convey that message to everyone.
Why do you insist on claiming I said things I didnt. i never said I was superior.

No, I have never actually been on Myspace. Couldnt even tell you what it looks like. But I run sound at many venues and at a couple of places, there is a Myspace night, where I run sound for 4-5 bands a night who are all Myspace kids, and the house is packed with all their Myspace "friends". So, I do have reality and reference on this subject.

i like myspace... because it's an easy and accessible way to communicate with friends or people that i know. about 80% of my friends have a myspace (sad statistics, i know), so if i need to talk to them or somebody else, it's right there. plus, easy way to meet new people in the area if you're into expanding your friends.
just love to keep in contact with the people, y`know.

what is wrong with an IM, the phone, email or carrier pigeon?
The improved communication argument for Myspace is null and void, there are plenty of other avenues of communication available to us in this communication era.
If that is the only reason one is to use Myspace, then it is more useless and ridiculous than previously thought.

You can't use those things to meet new people, nobody has said that it's only use is to chat with others. The whole advantage is that it's more than that.
If your entire experience with the site is with the kind of kids who would show up at a "Myspace night" at a local bar, then obviously you know very little about the site.
Yet here you are blathering on about how terrible it is, and you've NEVER EVEN VISITED IT.

Ive never been in the womans restroom but I have a pretty good idea of what goes on in there and how women urinate and take a shit since I have had personal experience with the genetalia and actions/words of women.
make sense?
btw, atleast half of the people pro-myspace here have said it was primarily used to talk or keep in touch with people... not meet new people. Frankly I wouldnt want to meet any of the people I have met whom are on myspace... so what would be the point of me going on there?
if its your bag, cool... im not here to change opinion, its my bag to personally ridicule people who are the stereotypical myspace frequenter.

hehe, wow how to put my philosophy into flesh...one sec...ok, i'll try
For sake of clarification, I do not think myspace users are inferior nor do I hate them, I find myself confused by the whole thing, even after spending hours on it myself. I mean, it makes perfect sense, find people in your community and "know" them before you meet them...this, from my very subjective point of view, is stupid and pointless.
When I want to meet new people, I get their attention, in the "real" world. Sometimes it is fun to go to a party with my torch and fuel, gate-crash (completely sober of course) and then wow the angry mobs with a fire-breathing session, grab a bunch of numbers, make some coffee dates, and look for the next party. Sometimes I like to go out with friends talk to everybody we pass. I mean, honestly it's not that hard to do.
And no, I wasn't always a social creature, I grew up a liberal in rural kansas, not the best for social interactions. What scares me, is where I would be if I relied on myspace for my "networking", I would be ashamed, that I attract people with my typing, rather than excercising my oratory skills.
But then again, all subjective.
The beauty of this thread was, first, its simplicity, "who else hates myspace?" But alas, those who support myspace could not refrain from critiquing the ones doing the critiquing. I find this thoroughly amusing and a quite interesting cross section of social interactions, if by social I only refer to this internet forum as a diverse society that makes social interactions with the knowledge that we all share an appeal, this forum. So, by applying that logic, everyone that likes to use myspace is fundementally similar, they all like to use myspace, not saying they are all emo or hipsters or goths or college kids with spare time *looks in mirror*, but just that this single thread holds them all together seperates, in essence, me from them. So, the phonebook metaphor proven invalid, not everyone wants to be in a phonebok, they just are. A phonebook, being a contact index, does not serve as a social outlet.
And alas, my sorrow at not only visiting myspace, but *gasp* having a page (now deleted). I do not like to proclaim uninformed beliefs, because in essence I am an idiot, I take all my knowledge only after it has been processed by my most basic and for the time, unchangeable emotions.
Ahh, another great point just hit me like a divine brick to the groin.
I never said "who else hates myspace users?" me thinks a more appropriate quote would follow along "who else hates myspace?" subtle difference between the two being the word users, maybe other people tossed in a good emo joke or two, but thats all in good humour.
And myspaces whole advantage is that "it's more than that". To me that makes myspace unapealling as well. One can socialize quite well with a basic chat program or forum, but taking it beyond that, to encompass "all aspects" of social life for the internet savy user worries me.
Why just myspace?
Why do so many people feel myspace is the most appropriate form of communication there is on this beautiful electronic realm.
And again, before someone tries to argue petty word usage, not EVERYONE is like that, there are shroomery users with myspace accounts and whatnot, but there is also a vast amount of people, out of that 60 million, that probably use the internet solely for myspace or derivations from said dependent community.
Ahh...well, I'm sure I wasn't nit-picky enough and will see someone quote this subjective speech and point out its inherent flaws (subjective to the quoter of course) in a wonderful cycle that makes this thread so damned interesting.

But do you feel that you're now able to judge and feel superior to all those that use the women's restroom?
Myspace is not exactly the same as a restroom. Meeting a few people who show up at a Myspace concert only exposes you to a fraction of the site's users.
Yes, one of its main uses is to talk and keep in touch with people. Same as with these message boards. It's also to help you meet people with similar interests, local people, discuss things. Myspace is many, many times larger than the Shroomery, and I think it would be pretty retarded to generalize about Shroomery users, so it's even dumber to generalize about Myspace users.
But I know how much you love to feel superior and to judge people for meaningless reasons, so go ahead, whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

It's like a fucking popularity contest...sure theres some cool people that use it but the mass majority of idiots makes it near impossible to find those people.I'd rather not use myspace, i've got better things to do with my time...exciting things!

a few people? Im talking about 300-400 people a night, all from Myspace... multiple times, over multiple genres of music.

I never once said I was superior to anyone. Come back when you have stronger points and an argument.
