Myspacers, Myspacers...
Where have u gone?
It seems like only yesterday
U were the center of the internet

Every1 looking at ur sweet layouts
Ur premium profile song
Ur top 1,2,4,8,12,16,244 friends
Ur comments
Ur blogs
Ur 'music'
Ur 'groups'
Ur photos
Ur embedded images that made the page 'wide as hell'
GIFs, videos, autoplaying widgets
Ur profile really represented U

It was a great day when you got 'myspace famous' enough
to hire a designer to create a custom layout 4 u
Myspace no longer was just a place 4 friends
It was a place 4 u 2 feed ur internet fame

We dyed our hair pink
Lost 20-40 lbs
Got tats/piercings
We got asymmetrical haircuts

We bought all our clothes at Hot Topic
We hung out at the mall
We actually did learn a lot about HTML
We used 2 be happie.
We used 2 be Myspacers

I miss ur bulletins.
I know u still 'tweet' and 'update ur status'
But the bulletin was
A place 4 authentic expression [via embedded videos and jpgs]

Whenever ur internet identity is so strongly linked to a social network's brand
U run the risk of being buried alive
underneath the sands of internet time
in the digital graveyard

We miss u myspace
[via not really]
It's a shame that Facebook won out
with uniform templates and cascading style sheets

It's sorta like society...
As much as u want 2 express urself,
Ultimately we need every1 to 'fall in line'
no1 is really 'that different' from 1 another

We can all only like the same kinds of things
Movies, Music, Books, Activities, Brands
U like shit, I like shit
U do shit, I basically do the same shit

Trying our best to brand ourselves [via the internet]
Making life look meaningful
Making ourselves' seem interesting
Capturing experiences 2 last 4evr on the internet.

It feels like there are 'less feelings' on the internet
Maybe every1 just grew up
Or maybe feelings existed on myspace
dark backgrounds

Miss u sweet graphics
sweet emo bands
sweet electro trash bands
embedding images on pplz profiles

Really miss u myspace
Really miss u Myspacers

Where have all the Myspacers gone?
Where have all the Myspacers gone?
Where have all the Myspacers gone?
Where have all the Myspacers gone?

Are they still 'internet famous' without Myspace?
Does internet fame last forever?
Did any myspacers take their myspace fame to other social networks like FB, twitter, or youtube or ustream?
Is Myspace a Digital Graveyard?
Who is the #1 myspacer of all time?
Do u ever see Myspacers IRL now?
Will all social networks 'die'?
What do u miss the most about Myspace?
