-- MySpace: A culture
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
Myspace is a fad. An extremely popular and revolutionary fad, but a fad nonetheless. The site will not last as it is indefinitely, the vast majority of members will eventually abandon it.
What we're seeing here is more people (teens and young adults) socializing via internet, and more people (everyone else who thought the internet was bad) beginning to accept this form of social interaction. With so many teenagers and musicians (and "cool people") on the internet, it's no longer unusual to spend a great deal of time in front a computer. Myspace just happened to be the site that made this so for a lot of people. Facebook looks like it will be the next big thing for teens.
edit: Digital cameras, broadband, webcams and audiochat/VOIP are also major factors. The internet or Myspace wouldn't appeal to many people if it stayed the same... silly me.
Social networking online is booming. It's cool now.. When I was in high school, most of the popular kids (non-nerd, not really computer savvy) went straight to sites like Sconex or Tagged. This was after 10th grade. Before that, I never saw any of these people use the computer for anything other than typing essays.
The internet is serious business... this really isn't surprising or hard to understand, it's more like a logical step forward. What did you expect to happen?
No man you kind of missed my point. It's not like everybody is jumping on this bandwagon. It's only the people whose personality predisposes them to things like this. And I want to understand the personality of these people.
My impression is that these are people who:
- have large friend networks (i.e. are somewhat popular and "cool")
- are often bored, which means they don't have interesting hobbies that take up their time (because even this Web forum is hobby-oriented: music, while MySpace doesn't have any profile)
- are a little xenophobic, meaning they're protective of their clique and don't welcome strangers
- are sarcastic: this has been mentioned before. They dislike straightforward and honest communication, they choose sarcasm and understatement to communicate. There are probably reasons for this.
