- wmeredith 14y agoBullshit. Go ask a twelve year old who's going to start creating their online persona this year what Myspace is. They won't know what you're talking about.
- thom 14y agoThat seems like a problem too, though.
- astrodust 14y agoThen their eighteen year old brother will flick them in the ear and call them a loser and a noob and they'll quickly learn.
- zalzane 14y agoWhen you were 12 years old, did you go out of your way to tell your parents/brother that you had a myspace?
- astrodust 14y agoMySpace was an exclusive club for "99-year old girls" to fawn over their favorite bands, or for older boys boys to post pictures of "hot babes" to impress others in their age group. I'm not sure it ever matured from there.
- skeletonjelly 14y agoLucky teenagers don't revolt anything their older peers tell them as fact ;)
- hnriot 14y agosoon it will have retro caché
- guylhem 14y agoLike an aol.com email address?
- dholowiski 14y agoI think this is actually possible. Aren't we all tired of Facebook and twitter, and waiting for the next big thing?
- antihero 14y agoMeh, the kids won't care. If some popular people use it because it's way more fun and exciting than shitty old Facebook, (plus they hear the odd story about how fun the old MySpace was) then it could get it's foot in the door.
- anotherblue 14y agoJudging by displayed design, it definitely feels more fresh than Facebook and Twitter. I see strong influence of Microsoft's metro design language as well...

- prebrov 14y agoHistory has some examples of legacy brands being revived. Mini, Hush Puppies, Pabst Blue Ribbon are some of the known examples. Forever and never is a really long time. Being on the edge but akin to old school is actually valued in music subculture. So while Facebook becomes a tired commodity, MySpace does have a shot in getting back as a 'true skool' brand for a music social network. Think of hip crowd looking back at the 80s and 90s for inspiration.
