# Anti-Social Networking Enemybook & Snubster By Bianca | Published 2007-10-25 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-social-networking-enemybook-snubster References: [blog.wired](http://blog.wired.com/business/2007/10/getting-anti--s.html) At first I was unsure if the term referred to people against social networking sites, or was a community for people affected by anti-social personality disorder. It turns out, [Anti-Social Networking sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-networking-platform) are spoofs of popular online communities. "Web 2.0 faces its backlash in the form of sites parodying Facebook and MySpace. Sometimes perusing MySpace makes us just want to lock ourselves in the basement and listen to Hungarian black metal," [BuzzFeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzz/Anti-Social_Networking)clarified. "We suppose this is the internet equivalent to that." The Facebook parodies include [Enemybook](http://www.enemybook.info)and Snubster. Enemybook lets Facebook users categorize by "Enemybook" (see image) as well as view other people's Enemybooks. You can also "tell friends to 'enemy' someone, and spread the hate" or "Add Enemy Details" just as you would friends. For example, to answer "Why is John your enemy?," users can select from: - We lived together and didn't get along - We worked together and didn't get along - John hooked up with my (ex/sister/etc.) - John killed my (...) - John insulted my (...) - John is my (ex, etc.) - John i the friend of my enemy - Facebook ruined our relationship - We became enemies randomly - I don't even know this enemy, but I hate them already Feature like these could bruise a few feelings... but I guess that's the intention behind the aptly named site. [Snubster](http://www.snubster.com), on the other hand, "encourages people to undermine and mock online social communities, got its start in 2006 and allows users to alienate each other by putting people 'On Notice' or listing them as 'Dead to Me,' Wired blog explained. "While Snubster actually has its own site, it also recently launched Facebook application." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spoof Social Networks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new parody social networking sites to appeal to users seeking a satirical alternative to mainstream platforms. - **Categorizing Enemies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that allows users to categorize and track their enemies, fostering a sense of community around shared dislikes. - **Undermining Online Communities:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a platform that encourages users to mock and undermine various online social communities, providing an outlet for cathartic expression. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Networking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce alternative platforms that challenge the status quo of traditional social networking sites. - **Satirical Comedy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop interactive platforms that merge social networking with satire to entertain and engage users. - **Online Community Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create tools and services that facilitate the management and moderation of online communities, allowing users to control their spaces more effectively. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Networking Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internet-social-caf.md) - [Social Media Blockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antisocial.md) - [Customizable Profile Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app.md) - [AI-Aided Social Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/befake-ai-social-network.md) - [Introvert-Friendly Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introvrs-social-app.md) - [Interest-Based Social Networking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phnk.md) - [Grey Scale Browser Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-scale-browser-extensions.md) - [Musical Social Media Channels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-network-for-musicians.md) - [Online Dating Anti-Ghosting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-anti-ghosting.md)
