Myspace Bands
The ones who send you friend requests out of NOWHERE!
Now I won't be completely harsh about this, some of the bands I've accepted have turned out pretty good, but usually you get a pretyped message from a band, or a stupid flier, declaring themselves new, fresh, exciting and all that jazz and we should 'check out their tunes' and usually... they're nowhere near new or exciting and the songs tend to generally suck.
There's getting new fans... and there's trying TOO hard and I believe this falls into the category of TOO hard.
But I will admit that there are some amazing bands I'd have not heard of if it weren't for myspace, and most of the bands I like on myspace are local, but most of the friend requests I recieve are from American bands... who will probably never gig anywhere near me... WHERE DO THEY LOOK TO FIND ME!?

But if you're looking for some cool new bands to get into, I suggest checking out:
Dirty Bob

Fell On Black Days

and
One Man And His Beard

And no... none of these bands are mine, because my band isn't particularly groundbreaking, so we won't be asking for friend req's declaring such.
