WELCOME TO MY-CRYPT, AN 18 AND OLDER SOCIAL NETWORK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INTO GOTH, PUNK, HARDCORE, METAL AND OTHER ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SUBCULTURES.

IN FEBRUARY 2025, DARON SHUPE AND A HANDFUL OF HIS CLOSE FRIENDS FROM THE SLC GOTH SCENE DECIDED TO TRY THEIR HAND AT MAKING THEIR OWN SOCIAL NETWORK.

OUR GOAL WAS TO MAKE A SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK THAT FELT MORE LIKE THE OLD-SCHOOL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS WE ENJOYED IN THE EARLY 2000’S- SOCIAL MEDIA STRIPPED OF DATA SELLING, AD FARMING, ALGORITHMS, MONITIZATION, HATE SPEECH, POLITICAL MANIPULATION, AND OLIGARCH INFLUENCE.

WE WANTED TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE WHERE LIKE-MINDED GIRLS, GUYS AND GHOULS COULD EXPRESS THEMSELVES ORGANICALLY, AND CONNECT OVER OUR SHARED LOVE OF MUSIC, FASHION, ART AND DIY.

AS OF MARCH 2025, OUR WEBSITE HAS GROWN TO OVER 750 MEMBERS, AND CONTINUES GROWING THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US BUILD SUCH AN AMAZING COMMUNITY. WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR SITE IS STILL IN PRE-ALPHA. THE DEV TEAM IS MADE OF A SMALL HANDDFUL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VOLUNTEERING OUR SPARE TIME TO BUILD THIS COMMUNITY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIANCE AS WE WORK ON STABLIZING THE FOUNDATION OF OUR SITE.
