Is MySpace the Woodstock of the Millenials?

I am watching a documentary on the 1960's this evening and thinking about how music carried the message of the time--use drugs, put flowers in your hair, move to San Francisco. The kids at were doing things their parents had never done. And that scared a whole lot of adults.

So you have to think, if drug use and rock and roll can't shake adults today, then maybe social media is, in some ways, a way to rebel. Just like Haight-Ashbury or Woodstock, social networking communities such as MySpace are a gathering place, a place to be themselves and to be together.

I'm not an expert in this exact topic, but if you're interested in exploring it further, I suggest checking out Danah Boyd's work. There's a link to her blog on this page. And if you have any thoughts around this I'd be interested in hearing them. I'll be thinking about this as well.
