The MySpace Generation

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-did-they-become-the-@-generation dept.

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."

    I'm sorry but you're wrong. Teens (less than 16 or so) are complete fucking morons. There are exceptions to every rule but I can't believe someone would try to defend them. Everyone who's been a teen knows what it's like.

    Call me cynical all you wish, but the more myspace fucktards that kill themselves, the better. I'd have to commend this Tom fellow on creating a method to group all the internet's idiots onto one site in order to clean up the mass idiocy elsewhere.

    Forty million illiterate assholes who run up my data transfer bills by transcluding the images from my site on their shitty circle jerk home pages.
