Actually, I'm not, because these ones still think they're 'straight' and they do it so others find them 'hot'. Scene Kids like to think they're 'IT' when they really just suck and ache for attention of any kind. Shock Value.
That's not true 100% of the time. Take the newgrounds user-base as an analogy. Many of the people here strive for attention. Personally, I think online attention is pretty meaningless, but whatever.
What really motivates people to submit their flash movies or audio everyday is attention... I mean, why else would you go through all this time creating a flash or song, and then submit it? Sure you had fun along the way, but whats the point of spending 5 - 10 minutes uploading it to Newgrounds?
Not everyone on Newgrounds is like that though. Just like not all the people that the general public would call "scene" aren't either.
