MakeOutClub, often abbreviated as MOC, is a music subculture related social networking and message board website. Its stated purpose is to act as a social network for persons with similar musical tastes.[1] It features user profiles, a message board, and music and entertainment news. MakeOutClub's owner insists that it is not a dating site, despite the name.[2] Rather, the site was named after the song "Make Out Club" by the band Unrest.[2] This assertion has been challenged many times over.[3][4][5]
History
Makeoutclub was started in July 2000 in Boston, MA by "Gibby" Miller, frontman of Boston punk bands Trouble and Panic.[6][7] The site’s goal was to bring people together to "form bands, start zines, find roommates and to submit user records, photographs and art to the site for everyone to see". Users communicate through internal private messaging and also through the website's messageboards.
