UN-MYSPACERS

We get asked this question a lot – “Yo, ya’ll on myspace?” or “what’s your myspace” and everytime, we answer “No”. Yes, you heard right – “NO” and you will never find us on myspace. I repeat, there will never be a Cookies n Cream brand page on myspace. I’m guessing you want to know what our issue is with myspace, so here’s why -

1.) Myspace is officially wack. I used to be on myspace when it was still “cool”. Nowadays, it’s a haven for wannabe “everythings”, pedophiles, and a bunch of losers who think they’re somebody in real life because they have a 1000+ “myspace friends”. It’s to the point where even grandmas and grandpas are on myspace. Now don’t get me wrong, if your girl is showing off sexy pics of herself on myspace, we’ll definitely go check it out but as far as a branded page for Cookies n Cream. NO.

2.) We consider our brand as a “playful luxury” brand. We look at ourselves as what Gucci or Louis Vuitton would be if they were a playful streetwear brand, and that’s what we consider ourselves. As you will never find these brands on myspace, why should you find us on there?

3.) You will find us on Facebook. While this may be contradicting the point above since you won’t find luxury brands on Facebook as well, but we like the cleaner layout and vibe of Facebook. Also, since we’re more of a playful and young brand, Facebook gives us a chance to connect with the people who appreciate and support Cookies n Cream. So if you would like to connect with us for whatever reason, holla at us on our Facebook group page.

4.) The normal route nowadays for a lot of new clothing brands is to do some designs, throw them on myspace, add as many friends as possible, and all of a sudden you’ve got a clothing company. We’ve always been a brand that’s not afraid to be different, and take a different route, even if it means our growth will be slow. We’re not interested in a quick buck. We’re aiming for longevity and actually building a real brand. So while you’re on myspace doing “promotion”, we’ll be out here on the streets connecting with the folks that actually buy our shit.

5.) While this did not really have anything to do with our decision, but it’s cool to see that Nas put FOX NEWS on blast with the song “Sly Fox” off his new album – Untitled. As you may know, Fox owns myspace and Nas even says that on the song in case you didn’t know. Since we don’t rock with the practices of Fox News, then we’re not rocking with their myspace.

Those are pretty much the reasons for us being Un-myspacers. If you can dig it, cool. If you can’t, that’s cool too. Cookies n Cream still loves you and by the way, we found this image on the internet that captures the essence of this post.
