The MySpace Generation

theodp writes "They live online. They buy online. They play online. Their power is growing. BusinessWeek reports on The MySpace Generation, aka Generation @, for whom being online is a way of life. Preeminent among the virtual hangouts is MySpace.com, who boasts 40 million members and claimed the No. 15 spot on the entire U.S. Internet. And in When murder hits the blogosphere, MSNBC reports on MySpace's sometimes surreal role in popular news stories."

They live online. They buy online. They play online. Their power is growing...

They also hate to wear shirts and/or kiss themselves in the mirror. Dismantling this web atrocity should be the primary focus of the impending 'Generation ~'. Guh.

Luckily for all the MySpace tards, who have numerical supremacy over the righteously indignant people like you, life will go on and the self-absorbed misfits will continue to interact, hook up, reproduce, and shop at Walmart before getting old and turning into moderate Republicans.

The value of a MySpace profile is equal to the value of a Slashdot comment: next to worthless, so what's your point?

You are spitting in the wind.

>Teenagers are not "fucking morons"

They are morons.

As you grow older you change and you grow wiser and you learn from your past mistakes.

I hope that in 10 years from now I can look back and see what idiotic mistakes I made and learn from them.

If you don't think that you were a moron during your teenage years, well then you are just an older moron.
