    Does MySpace depress you?

    I got a MySpace account about a year ago because all of my friends/girlfriend have one, and everyone kept asking me to do the same. Since then, I've used it pretty minimally, mostly because there's never anything interesting on there, but I think I realized this morning that it's not just uninteresting to me, but completely depressing. At least 80% of the pictures people post are the same drunk-@ss party pictures, and a good percentage of the comments are grammar-error-laden, moronic observations about the same thing. I'm all for a good party, but do we really need to make this the solitary focus of an online community? Is there even anything interesting to SAY about it, and if even if there were, why does no one explore it further than the obligatory "huh-uh dude u were so plastered last nite"? It depresses me because most of these people, who I love so dearly in real life, come off as complete buffoons on MySpace. Every once in a while, like this morning, I'll log on because someone tells me to look at something specific, and every time I do, I find myself losing respect for someone new. Even my girlfriend does it. She's learned enough to not do it to me, but I can never look at her page without getting this sinking feeling in my gut. It should be enough for me to know that she's completely the opposite in real life, but it still depresses me that she comes across so mundane online.

    Anyone else feel the same? Differently? Give me something to work with.

    I don't use MySpace.
    I had to change accounts. I'm here now - http://www.pavilionboards.com/forum/member.php?u=1475

      I had to get one because being a high-schooler, I was forced to at gunpoint by my peers.
      I go when my email tells me theres a reason to go, or if youtube is lagging (got a couple of embedded players that load faster through myspace.)
      My friends don't get drunk, but I can see where you're coming from. None of my friends do it, but my friends friends are usually depressed-sounding on their pages, so I don't go to them and thus Myspace is tolerable.

        I made a myspace account five months ago. I basically made a fake myspace with stupid comedic(well that was the intention) blogs first, showed it to some people and they were like: "I didn't know you used myspace." I don't know how it happened but next thing I knew I made my own account. I think it was because I started browsing people in my area and found some people I lost touch with.

        But yeah, it's kind of messed up. I always get motards and boy crazy 15-18 year old girls who want to add me everytime I get moved to the front of the line on that browse list. And it does make me depressed sometimes because that's not really what I'm all about. But I don't have to use myspace if i don't want to.

            I hate how its used. Everyday I ward through a shitload of bulletins that are chain letters, rumors, or **** like "I'm going to sleep now". Personally, I could care less about every one of your ****ing minute movements (you don't see me posting a bulletin whenever I scratch my ass).

            I just use it mostly for concise, anytime of the day, communication in between friends and peers. Other than that, it's pure vanity.

                Yes, it depresses me. The reason being: Don't most teenagers have a myspace? Aren't they going to have a job someday? I've seen this on MySpace before: "Mainly in lif i want 2 be a techer 4 the kids. its my pasion!!!" Seems like the apocalpyse isn't going to have any explosions, it's just going to be a slow decline into mass retardation. I'm guess I'm not so smart either, but, ****.

                I kind of like Facebook, though.

                  I made a myspace just for the heck of it. Actually my one friend asked me to a few times over a long period before I finally figured why not. Also I found out some porn stars I like have myspace pages, lol. It's fun to read what they're up to other than doing it on camera. Other than that it's pretty much useless. it doesn't depress me or anything it just doesn't entertain me either.

                    ah, myspace. the biggest source of drama on the internet.

                    I have an account there, just because some people I know wanted to add me to their friends lists. I dont update or maintain it at all.

                      The Internet as a whole depresses me.

                        Even in High School, I avoided MySpace like the plague. >_>

                        Like Valk said, it's the biggest source of drama on the internet.

                        Every new person I meet ask me if I have a MySpace so they can contact me.

                        I tell them I don't and how much I despise it and give them my e-mail instead.

                        I will never make a MySpace page. My girlfriend has one too, but I'm not gonna
                        get one anytime soon, and she knows that.

                          Re: Does MySpace depress you?

                          I remember when everyone wanted to make a website on Angelfire or Tripod. And they were all sites full of animated .gifs and pretty frilly font against a repeating picture background, with a .midi playing and links to sites that either everyone knew about or no one cared about.

                          Replace those .gifs with digital pictures, the frilly font with poorly designed tables, the repeating background with one that doesn't move when you scroll, the links with 'friends', and 'Angelfire' with 'Myspace'.

                          But that's not all! Myspace is also a great place to meet people in your area!

                          For example, here's some messages my girlfriend has recieved:

                          It's Mr. Wal-Mart!
                          Whats good witcha ma i see u lookin sexy on ya page but i want u to check out my page and tell me what u think about my music and get back at me when u do aight...1


                          This guy just wants to get 2 no u.
                          WUS UP MA I WANT 2 ASK U IF IT'S NOT 2 MUCH CAN I GET 2 KNOW U A LIL BIT BETTER!!!!IF NOT IT'S COOL BUT I WOULD LIKE 2 GET KNOW U
                          He must be popular! Look at his friends list!
                          ...and that's why.

                            i nod my head in agreement with most of what's being said here. it's rather trite, dull and reflective of a mass majority of idiot lifestyle.

                              Meh, I use it merely has a more expansive version of e-mail, since most of my peers are readily avaliable on it. I think it's generally an interesting way to meet new people, and what not.

                              But mostly a bore, I don't get how you could spend more than ten minutes a day on it.
