Okay, here is a list of people who I DON'T want to meet on myspace (or facebook, whatever):
*Band geeks telling me to "check out their gig on so-and-so street" or getting me to "listen to their music." I really don't care. If you can write songs like Chris Martin or can play catchy tunes such as the ones from U2, then maybe I might consider. But more often than not, most of you will just sound like the 10 billion other desparate bands on myspace begging me to listen to their crap because no one else will. Not interested.
*People who add me to their list to make themselves look good. Every time I log onto myspace, I always get 10 billion requests from random people asking me to be their "friend." People 'friend' others that they don’t even know. People 'friend' others solely to increase their friend count.
Of the friended people whom a user knew in the past, most will never make an attempt to catch up offline. The majority will be content to leave brief messages on each other’s profiles, as opposed to email which requires a bit more interaction and care. Which kinda defeats the whole notion of 'friendship.' Personally, I think anyone who has the time to add heaps of random strangers onto their 'friends' list on myspace are sad losers who need to go out more and find REAL friends. If you're one of these people, please don't add me. Go find some real "friends."
Don't get me wrong though, some people actually use myspace to 'friend' people that they DO know and have met in person. Some people actually have used the service to keep up with old friends, continue to keep in touch, and meet up outside of the MySpace arena. This is not a bad thing - far from it. And then there is the whole making new friends thing. Which is good. But only if there is genuine interest involved. None of this 'add random people bullsh*t.' You know who these people are. They're the guys whose 'friends list' consist of 5984 girls whose avatars are of their tits/arses/bodies. Or girls who have lists that only comprise of guys showing off their abs.
Yawn.
Having said all that though... By all means, if you're interesting and have something cool to say, then feel free to message me. But if you happen to fall into any of the above categories of people (or are just plain weird/stupid/airheaded), then don't bother adding me. Thanks.
Dance. Trance. 80s pop. 90s dance. British rock. Old school rock. SOME rnb is ok, but I prefer the retro stuff as opposed to the commercialised sht they play on the radio these days. To put it simply, my music taste is very diversified: Crowded House, Robert Miles, Ian van Dahl, Billy Joel, Paul van Dyk, Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, U2, The Killers, George Michael, Elton John, Evermore, Kylie, Paul Oakenfold, Phil Collins, Derrick May etc etc. Yes, some of it is daggy but hey, ANYTHING is better than 'young people urban sht,' emo music and hardcore heavy metal in my opinion.
