In which I ponder Myspace, and how I have yet to leave my teenage hang-ups behind

So, I have a myspace. I haven't touched it in oh forever, but I keep seeing all the bands that I like have myspace. Here's the thing - my myspace friends are

Myspace squicks me out like nothing else. I briefly had an account I used to find long-lost loves from my previous life (read: people I haven't seen since middle school and actually forgot existed when I moved across the country at age 16) and promptly deleted it once it had served its purpose.

It's to my understanding Myspace is quite popular with musicians and actors, however. Ones which have no concept of grammar or are over 25, unfortunately, but it's still a vital part of being a die-hard fan. I've chosen to abstain. I'd feel like too much of a stalker otherwise.

Just use it to keep up with your bands and nothing else! What's wrong with that?

Yeah, myspace makes me feel OLD. I'm 22! I'm very young, if not terribly nubile.

True. I just want to be able to keep up with gigs, shennanigans etc. I just feel like a loser with my one myspace friend.

MYSPACE IS BAD FOR YOU. IT IS THE HIGH SCHOOL OF THE SOCIAL NETWORKING WORLD.

MySpace owns the internet for sure!

Hehe, nah it's pretty cool. Mainly because you're getting news directly from the bands themselves, most of them run their own myspaces. Sometimes their random little bulletin rants are adorable. And seriously, not everyone tYPz Liik3 d1z and the people who do - well they just provide us with humour x]

:D

Yeah, I'm ridiculously lame and have a myspace. It's weirdly addicting, and good for keeping up with some of my non-LJ friends and bands. It's here, if you want to friend me!

Hee, totally friending. Also I love your icon.

I have a myspace, and before that I had friendster which no one even remembers now. I mostly use mine to keep track of people from college and random local bands. I'm psghayleaux on it, i think the spelling could be off, if you want to friend me.

I tried to friend you but it says no luck! I've put my name up if you want to friend me?

That'll work. Not a clue why it wouldn't work for you, unless I really did spell it wrong, which is really my own fault for picking something so weird.
