Do you have a "My Space" account?
I seems that now days that almost every man and his dog has a My Space Page. I don't know why it's such a crappy site. But still it has boomed beyond belief. So I'm wondering if you have been sucked into this trap (or something similar eg Friendster) or are you an Internet rebel who has not sold out?
|
I'm an internet rebel.
You'll never take me alive My Space! |
:
No, I do not have a myspace. It's just drama and girls who conveniently angle their cameras to look down their shirts in all their photos. Of course, there's the occassional good band, but I don't even know much about that because the site crashes my browser. |
Ambi, you have said the truth, all the girls just obsess about people commenting their pics, and all that, some even put the most random things on the bulletins that make to frikking sense. I loathe MySpace, but I don't know how to get rid of mine.
|
Please, don't ever mention My Space on this Forum again. I can't stand it.:compmad:
|
I told myself I'd never get a myspace. Mainly because everyone was doing it and I didn't feel like being a sheep. One of my aquainteces pretty much whores herself out and hooks up with random folk on myspace. Lame.
Sadly, I did succumb to the overwhelming power of myspace. It's not too bad. I don't spend all day on there like some people I know. Lately I've been checking up on old friends and family I haven't talked to in forever. It's cool to see people you knew when you were 10 in the now-ness and how much they've changed. Yeah...I won't be posting for another 6 months or so. I pop in here every once in a while to make sure you kids still remember me. ;) Later -oddguy |
I made mine because I was bored. And saying that everyone who uses it fit with the stereotypes of being whorish or emo is a rather prejudiced statement. :p
As a way of keeping in touch with people its great, its also a great thing for bands. And it seems the new 'sheep' movement is to hate myspace. :p |
I have an account for the basic reason of keeping up with some friends that arent too close and that I prolly won't see either too much next year when I get back from my first year of college but also prolly won't talk to much again. I also use it to keep up with a few friends who might not have AIM or other means of communication, plus it does have a few nifty features. Otherwise I mainly use AIM, Facebook to keep up with my friends leaving for college, or who have already.
|
I had one, but I stayed awake all night wondering, "What in seven Hells have I gotten myself into?! "
The thought of MySpace makes me make little sicky noises.....ew. All the girls on there do exactly what Ambi said, it's annoying and slutty. |
I only go there because some bands give some exclusive infos, music or contest on MySpace
sometimes I can even save the mp3 file of their music player I can exploit it, so I don't mind my space :p however I never made a page or anything like that, what good about it? |
:
I have none, but that's because I don't wish for an internet social life. |
I've always thought MySpace was shitty, I'm no sheep. You ever think that it isn't sheeplike to hate something that sucks and everybody is jumping on? If people who think MySpace sucks are sheep than the people who recently made MySpace accounts are trend-following, gullible bandwagon hoppers. And there is nothing worse than a bandwagon hopper to me when it comes to things like this.
|
I have one for the band. But all 3 of us had access so it got confusing when all 3 of us were trying to talk to 1 person (Promoter, other band etc).
So I made a personal one to make things easyer for me to sort out. I Radioheaded it up abit too. Like i've said before, I can't stand the self obsession some people have on it. But it is useful for bands. |
I signed up as I have friends who are myspace whores and they occasionally tell me to go view some photos or seethe page of their new boyfriend or whatever. I haven't put any info on myself up as I can't be bothered, quite frankly. All of my friends who have myspace also have facebook, which provides for all of my communication needs.
|
Hmmm... it seems that Myspace is the 'in' thing to hate. I do agree that there are a whole bunch of slutty-whorey stupids on the site, but I find it quite fun. Go myspace!
|
I hate MySpace because it is rank and clumbsy - nothing to do with shepherded opinions. I have, however, saved a great number of friends' MySpaces to my bookmarks so I can keep up with their photos and so forth. I have even considered making a bare bones account to aid in communication with friends I have long since fallen out of contact with. I know I've found a couple of them.
The main reason I haven't is because I can't be bothered. As a perfectionist, I could never make anything worthwhile on there, but I'd keep trying. Sod that, I'm off for some cheese and crackers. |
Myspace is for the emo people who can't find any friends in real life and need to resort to getting their 'friends list' in the tripple digits.
So, to all the emo girls out there: Go kill yourself. To all the emo guys: Go help them and enjoy your showers in jail. (To all myspace users on this forum, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE! Now go check out my live journal please, thank you.) |
I would if only you updated more often. :(
|
Havoc It would be a more macho way to go to jail then some of their friends I'm sure, but really nothing is wrong with myspace if it makes people happy
|
Actually, John, it may be making happy certain people who we'd perhaps rather not be made happy by us. MySpace is a superb way of accidentally getting to know one of those people who isn't who they claim to be. You know what I mean. This is made all the worse by MySpace being the domain of ditzy, mindless fools.
It's also been known for potential employers to look at potential employees' MySpaces (and similar Internet services) to see what kind of person they're accepting onto their payroll. In my books, that's a shitty invasion of privacy. |
:
Another thing that seems to be 'in' to hate is emo kids. But that's neither here nor there. |
Why we hate emo kids? S.O.D. said it 20 years ago and it still stands to this day:
Why do you play so fast... to be cool? If you think you'll last... you're just fools. You try to be something... that you're not. And all you do is fill our ears... with rot. You claim to be hardcore. Well that's a bunch of shit. You're just a bunch of snot nosed kids. A real group of tits. You make your bed you lay in. I bet it's made of shit. You think you're all so macho. I bet you all have clits. You're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, **** you. We offered you our hands. You just turned your backs. You're just a bunch of poser douchebag faggot, dickless hacks. Wearing all their douchy clothes. They like to watch each other pose. They're all the same, so ****in' lame. We'll shove their spikes right up their holes! You're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, **** you. You make your bed you lay in. I bet it's made of shit. You think you're all so macho. I bet you all have clits. You're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, **** you. |
What inspirational lyrics.....
|
Lyrics to live by. I just went to Myspace and plucked some at random. Arrgh, its so cluttered and busy it makes me pine for the average blog's setup. That aint good, people. Thats a real "toto, we're not in Kansas anymore" moment to have.

Y'know Statikk, I'm quite amused by you. You seem to hate everything, how can you devote your life to such trivial hatred of all these stupid things that aren't worth worrying about? It seems every single topic and post you make is a rant about something. :p
|
Seconded.
|
I hate MySpace.
I hate it because it shows that most people my age truly have so little to do in their spare time that they are whoring themselves out to the internet, begging for comments on their pictures. It's also because it's a fad, and if there's anything I hate, it's fads. |
I have one...but I don't use it much...
http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...96AFA506703375 Knock yerself out... |
I love many things. Minnesota sports, salami, kittens when they aren't sneaking in to my room and pissing everywhere, a good game of Magic or Hackmaster or HERO, a good book, politics, heavy metal. But it is a lot easier for me to hate things, and rants come quicker and better to me than raves. For instance, I support Ned Lamont's bid for the Democratic primary in Connecticut. However, if I were to start a thread about the primary, which I believe to be one of the most important primaries in years, and easily the most important in my lifetime I wouldn't write about Lamont being solid gold, I'd scream out a 5 paragraph rant about how Lieberman is a treacherous douchbag.
On topic, just because some things are more stupid than others doesn't excuse the slighter stupidity. Not putting the seat up before you piss is stupidwhile pissing on an electric fence is suicidally retarded but they're both stupid. |
MySpace, in my opinion, has much too many people. So many that an organized community is simply not possible. Despite that, I do have a MySpace account. According to my profile, I am an a) 17-year-old b) female c) living in Calhoun, Missouri. And absolutely no pictures.
a) false b) true (call it female pride) c) false. I don't even know where that is! However, I do find myself a little annoyed at the "MySpace is dangerous, if you create an account you're doomed" cult. Anything can be dangerous, but only if you make it so. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=89716872 |
Heh, my friend Meredith got herself a nice little stalker on myspace. And when I say "nice little" I mean old, fat, and creepy. Despite how much I love that girl, she is so, so stupid. She posted all kinds of information.. phone number, exactly where she works, etc. :nonono: The guy showed up at her work several times, harrassed her on her cell phone, and lots of other creepy things.

I'm sorry to say...
I have one. I'm not proud of it, and I don't like the fact I do, but I have one.
It all started one fateful day when I was perusing the dregs of the internet. I realized that many nifty pictures of attractive females were locked behind the link "View more pics." So I signed up. At first, I only gave my account to a select few I deemed worthy; by no means did I send friendship requests myself. But alas, in turn came a leadership camp this summer, and I had no other reliable(ish) way to keep up with my friends from there. And thus, I caved. Don't worry though, there's a big ol' emptry space underneath the "About me" blurb box, and I have neither pictures of my motor vehicle, defined upper torso (or lack thereof), or of me commiting illegal activities. Nor do I leave comments on the pictures of attractive gals saying "girl u lookin fine!" Nor do I play the part of the suave-dude-who-is-actually-an-asshole, who leaves comments telling a girl how much fun she is to be around and how we should be sure and hangout sometime soon. Just because I have one of those bastardized pages doesn't mean I have no dignity. |
So you signed up to see the hawt gurlz and still retained your dignity?
I applaud you. |

Myspace is good for keeping in touch with people who don't live close. Except when you go on to see that someone you love and care about has come online for the first time in four days and spoken to everyone except you. Then myspace sucks. :( |
Haha well you should be online. :p Pfft. And seriously, stop checking who I've been talking to; it's scary :P.
I have a myspace but I'm not a stupid whoresque-girl. I have no "angles" and my clothing is firmly placed on. [But I do have quite an emo 'About me' section.] It's a good way of talking to people and having emoesque fights. - Rexy |
I was online an hour before you posted this, had been for about 3 hours. How about you come online at the right time? :p
|
Mm. Myspace. IMO there are better ways of keeping in touch with people online, for example, traditional methods such as IM or E-mail and simply talking to them. Stupid as I think it is, I really don't have much against MySpace. It is the users choice after all if they use it and how much info they put about themselves on it.
One thing though, it's damned funny when people take the piss out of it and thier users. :D Try searching on YTMND from time to time. EDIT: Oh yeah, it's kind of obvious from this post, but nope, I don't have a Myspace account. :P Instead I have a Deviantart account - Most of my friends are on there too and we share artwork and photos and crap. Thinking about it though. . . I mean, Myspace is about community, right? You can't get too much of a community spirit using just E-mail and IM. . . Augh, just ignore this. |
What is EMO?
About my space.... dunno. From your posts, I find out that that is a some kind of voayers [sp] and phedophilist [sp] paradice. Stupid teenagers showing their buts and bragging for some comments. example: By then I didn't had a clue wtf My Space is. My neighbour's cosent (13-year old american girl) came to my house and asked me to use internet. I let her. I saw dose avatars ......... teen hookers....... She had a friend, a 30 year old guy!!! (I saw it cause browser saved her password and username) Goddamn dose are kids who should play with dolls and wach cartoons.... insted they are wearing bra [u know what I mean] full of soaks.... terible. Burn My space... burn in hell... -me |
Check out this for some urban dictionary for some definitions.
This one is my favorite: Emo is punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands. girlfriend: C'mon, lets have sex. boyfriend: I'm too sad to have sex. girlfriend: I'm sad too; lets have sex and cry. boyfriend: I'm already crying.
