Myspace is like Tattoos.
Everyone has tattoos, it’s no longer cool. Please recall the late 90’s and early 00’s when every girl who emblematized various geometric designs and patterns on their lower back. And everyone should also remember the ubiquitous tribal bands, barb-wire, jesus hands, and a whole gamut of other trendy styles that the men would sport. Tattoos originally represented a rite of passage for tribal societies, the marks that people would painfully endure to decorate their bodies had very significant meanings for these societies. The ink in their skin represented many things, but mainly it was unique, beautiful and represented something far deeper than the skin it decorated. What does this have to do with myspace? Well it really has to do with the irony of social pressures, what’s hip, what’s cool, group dynamics, and how superficial most human-beings can be. I would guarantee that 99.5% of human beings are victims of these pressures to various degrees. Similar to the late 90s fab, Myspace, clutters the internet with grotesquely decorated templates and mind numbing text messages (eg: “LOL, I got so drunk last night, 
OMG!!! 
”). As a self proclaimed sage and pioneer of the internet, one who remembers the days of the vt100 terminal and lynx, the same culture of people who socialize on myspace are the same daft blokes who ridiculed and teased the nerds of the late 80s/early 90s who socialized and posted on the local BBSes. Just do a search for any of your least favorite people you went to high school with, you know the trendy sport jock rich kids, they all have myspace accounts. So please, if you wish to be creative and contribute to this wonderful thing call the Internet, first and foremost, boycott myspace. And yes, I’ll admit the tattoo thing was a stretch, but it could be any fab of the day. Please think for yourself, it’s one of the greatest gifts given to the human race!
