+416 So now we're using acronyms that we've been using in texts as proper nouns? For example, LMFAO ("band") & OMG ("song"). A little pathetic don't you think, amirite?

I find it more pathetic when people says things like 'OMG' and 'LOL' in real life conversations.

Unless it's a sarcastic "LOL," but you're exactly right.

i don't even know what LMFAO means

How is that pathetic? The band LMFAO only caught my eye because of it's use of an acronym as a name. A pretty strategic use of marketing to younger generations if you ask me!

Quick to get a younger generation's eye, quick to relate, quick to take in a lot of fans! But also, quick to piss off anybody with an IQ above room temperature, I'm afraid.

It's this crazy thing called reativity, today's mainstream artists are losing that quality. But I was just referring to stuff in general.

No, I actually don't, because he doesn't. Except for "Yeah," that's a classic.

It's adapted into our culture. Why don't you expect people to use it?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Because it's just not creative, they're only used to catch people's eyes now. Like that new song I keep hearing "iYiYi" <-what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

*laughs* Let me introduce you to ELO, LFO, and numerous other bands who have used acronyms. It's certainly not a new concept, and deciding to capitalize on a pop culture trend isn't new either.

*laughs his ass off* I was specifically referring to acronyms that were created through text, ELO stands for Electric Light Orchestra. There's a difference.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

of course there is. But have you read the rest of my post? Neither acronyms nor capitalizing on pop culture trends is new.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I never said they were new...I say it again, I was specifically referring to text-cronyms

by Anonymous 13 years ago

To clarify further, text-cronyms are capitalizing on a pop culture trend. I see no difference whatsoever between that and any other acronymed band
