what do you guys think about myspace

[hempilation311]

Initially I was opposed to it but after I realized how much it helps out local and upstarting bands I had to get a piece. Btw I really am interested in what you guys think about the site and its affects on the music industry as well as it's downsides... one being that it's a network for child molesters to seek out info on people victims in their area... so that's why it's in lounge, but anyways here's my site.

okay, I don't like it for these reasons:

1. in the beginning, it was cool because it was used mainly as a kick-starter for unknown/underground bands. Now that seems to be shadowed by the millions of young teenagers wanting to "keep in touch" with friends across the sandbox, or even worse, people signing up just because everyone else is (and you KNOW there are people like that)
2. the fact that anyone can view someone's page. Makes it so much easier for stalkers to see your info. It wouldn't be hard to let only someone's friend list to be able to view the page. Hmmm..

It's just not for me. I don't want to spend hours of the day updating my myspace page so a couple people might leave me a cute message on my wall. No thanks ;)

My friend made me one a while back because he wanted to have more buddys or whatever and I went on it like twice. It is really retarded and extremely boring. But yeah I found a few good bands on there.

Hempilation I just listened to your songs they're pretty good. I might go to one of your shows.

[Swizzy89304]

I just hate it cos its flooded with emo kids.
Yes Im shallow, but it makes my life easier.

[bedake]

I use myspace as a way to find out about parties/bands/raves I also use the groups for drug/html/music/technical/video game support

myspace.com/bedake

as for the makes it easy for you to be stalked, if you simply set your age to 15 it makes your page unviewable by anyone not approved by you



There is a place similar to myspace but for raver! Ravematch.com! its a great site not for the gayness of the types of pages but you meet a TON of people at parties and its great to keep in touch with them! plus the site has listings for like every single party going on in america

[VoidLivesOn]

I used to hate it, if you look it up I even started a thread that said Fuck Myspace.But after I started to get into short film making I like the whole music/networking side to it.All the scene comodemy cock suckers can burn in hell for all I care.Along with there left hand and mirror shots.

[higher4hockey]

i dont have any use for it whatsoever....therefore, i think its just another time killer for bored teenagers.

[Kryzco]

I have had my myspace for 2 years

I used to love it but now its flooded with these myspace whores and other random uselessness

I rarely go on it now-a-days, just to keep in touch with friends and stuff like that

if theres anyone who wants to add me, feel free

http://myspace.com/kryzco

my profile is private, just because of stalkers

For real I know a dude in my Math class thats going. If I'm ungrounded I'll probably ask him to take me.

[suhl]

from what ive heard a lot of perverts and losers use it in an effort to get laid by random girls they meet online

[eddievanzant]

Oh lucky day. Now I can say things about myspace without someone saying "nobody asked you."
Myspace is total shit. The people there no nothing of building websites, have terrible taste in music, they are stupid faggy emo goth attention whores who are pretentious and whatnot. For the record I'm talking about the new myspace; not the old one dedicated to music promotion. I go to peoplesound.com for that.
I once made a blank account and e-insulted about 150 people in my area. I had a tenth of the school dislikikng me slightly more than the other 90%. I found this one bitch who I stood in line beside one time. Preppy, white, make-uppy, cellphone, the works. Her screen name was Lil' Nigga, I kid you not. I confronted her in the line at BK later and she said, "That ain't me 'cause I ain't ghetto." That can be annoying on so many levels: She stereotypes Blacks by assuming they talk "ghetto" and frequently use the n-word. That also implies that she assumes Black people all live in poverty, and she understates what a ghetto is. Ghetto isn't a fashion, it's no water. When I was leaving I said "Bye Little N-word," to which she replied "Why don't you go bang your brother you faggot!" That was just very surprising to hear from someone from a "well to do" family. And that's not even the worst kind of person on that site! Oh how I hate those people. I'm gonna go insult them.

[ERBA]

I think its a good way for teenagers to get that extra attention they so desperately need :thumbsup:

[hempilation311]

I use it stricktly for band promotion. I also find it's a fun way to expose people at shows to new links of funny ass shite. We got one explaining how chuck norris jokes got started on our site now. It's a funny article and it shows the people that go to our concerts a bit of our personality after the show when they go to the site .

You do have a point about how many emo kids are on there crying about something that happened to them (girlfriend dumps emo dousche in high school and emo dousche never gets over it). you know the scenario... I'm just surprised it's still going on! That's really what my band is trying to work against and strive to play something that isn't really classifiable.

[eddievanzant]

If you want to get your band noticed, you don't have to get noticed on myspace. If you haven't already, I think you should sign up at peoplesound.

eddie ~ we finally agree on something!!
What did we disagree about?

You do have a point about the type of people that are usually on there but saying someone has shitty taste in music is pretty stupid because not everyone has the same taste in music, and by saying they have shitty taste in music your basing tha on your taste of music so to them you may have a shitty tate in music. You sound liek the kind of person who does everything against fashion which makes you just as bad as the people who do everything that is trendy. Your still not being yourself. Why don't you just ignore trends and base your decision on what you enjoy not trends. you're following the trend of anticonformist which is quickly becoming just as popular as the mainstream trends.
That might not make sense but whatever I tried.

Oh yeah and hempilation how much is entry fees?

[higher4hockey]

i can't remember any specific instances. but some of the things you post, i don't agree with. i just never felt the need to say anything and start a fight.

[Jeff Spicoli]

all i know is the girl is 14 and she has some boobs

Oh yeah and hempilation how much is entry fees? And you seem like the kind of person who is prejudice and says things like "You sound liek the kind of person who blah blah blah I'm misjudging you." The difference between my last statement and your statement is that I'm basing it on something you just said, and not what I might infer. Don't prejudge me. I'm not some loser anti-conformist, and I don't have a "taste" in music when compared to other people who listen to real music, because I listen to every kind of genre I've heard. To develop a spectrum, I'll say that I listen to everything from "Gangsta" rap to bluegrass, from hip-hop to classic pop, delta blues to heavy metal, jazz rock to folk, everything.
Saying they have shitty taste is incorrect I guess. Let me correct myself: They have no taste. They listen to anything MTV puts on.
I also have no taste in music, I listen to all kinds of real music as long as it's not the shit MTV puts on. I listen to every genre.

[yoda]

i never saw the point of it, my ex made me mine, www.myspace.com/ugotcactused, and i kinda got hooked into it. ive seen links for some good bands, make plans with ppl on it, and reunited with old friends who searched me up, so that part is cool.

[eddievanzant]

Who the HELL jacks off in a car when they're with their parents? Honestly? And where did you plan to spurt? Just on the back of the seat and leave it there? Nasty...
It can be done when the person next to you is asleep and it's nighttime.

[acrca]

myspace pisses me off so much. My friend came over to my house the other day, and he immediatly went to my computer to check out his myspace, and he was on it for like 3 hours. I think that i will never get an account there, just because myspace is for dooshbags.

no offence

[acrca]

i checked out yours though its pretty cool. i love the song

[hempilation311]

the show's either going to be free or 5 dollars tops. I'm pretty sure it'll be free though. We'll be passing out free stickers and merch so i hope you make it out man. always down for new people to hear us.

I learned html and css to get a job. Well, I had to more of "immerse" myself in both languages. I learned a lot about both, and it saddens me to see everyone saying they know html, and then go enter in what they want in a code generator and "voila", you have a shitty code that shows no signs of condensing, so it takes about 5 minutes for a page to load because people don't even know what the hell streaming music from mono instead of stereo means, and they all think they're little hackers. Granted, if people were actually learning, I'd be ecstatic, but they're not.

Oh, and I hate emos. With a fiery passion. Myspace is like their gathering place, because none of them have any friends in real life.

Graph, OUT.

[eddievanzant]

I agree. I was in a "web design team" class with kids who've spent more time with a pencil than with a mouse, but at least they were learning (though it was not independent and only did what the teacher said). I admit I can read code infinitely better than I can write it, but I have been using Frontpage and Flash since I was about 10 and 13, respectvely.

[insanity]

I hated myspace from day one, then one day I was drunk and signed up... now I use it to check out bands and local scenes.

[eddievanzant]

I made fun of some kid for dyeing his hair black. He said he was drunk when he did it but he couldn't have followed the instructions. Similarly I don't think you could sign up drunk: It took me six times sober when I was signing up earlier.

yeah, whenever I do something I'm embarassed about I always say I was drunk too. Of course, there are some instances where that doesn't work.

I'm sorry I ran over that kid your honor, I was drunk.

Actually, this is not something I'm embarssed about, I've embraced my inner loser. It did happen when I was drinking with a couple of my friends (chicks) and they talked me in to it.

On edit:
If it takes anyone six times to sign up for myspace sober, they might be retarded.

i use to go on it everyday and spend hours on it,
