"Yeah I took some Percocet and then cheated on my girlfriend with a lady I met at a party and then left and fucked this girl I met on MySpace and then drank myself to sleep"
"Myspace, Livejournal, Tumblr, early Twitter, were all totally attention-seeking but more geared towards sharing ideas vs. a performative wasteland of content. Obviously now everything is commodified, manipulated by algorithms, and full of boring broccoli heads trying to go viral."
"Two of us hooked up with girls we met on MySpace (im not kidding) and eventually married them."
"As a millennial with a father who was into computers, I got into it pretty early. I missed the newsgroup stages but got into the IRC, ICQ, myspace, php-forums kind of phase."
"People are unironically saying that Boxxy was the first egirl when Cracky Chan, Maddeth Chan etc had their run years before her. All those e-celebs on MySpace and Stickam."
"The amount of teenage angst on tik tok is so unbelievably cringe. At least "when I was a kid" MySpace was somewhat private. It's crazy kids these days can go viral."
"Then things moved to sites like myspace and tumblr. I'm sure many of you here were proud of your custom tumblr pages with the music widgets that blasted post-punk as soon as you opened the page."
"The next generation of culture journalists are graduating college right now and they are too young to have experienced the early internet days. Everything from MySpace to ebaumsworld humor will be associated with racism and you will have to repent!"
"It was a bad social media website, very stuck in the 2000s, and could not have survived much past 2010 but I miss it sometimes."
"I miss how simple things seemingly were back then. Myspace was just Myspace with clickbait thread topics, music was all rock, and all games were shitty graphics but fun."
"A friend of mine stumbles on the MySpace page of a girl named Jenny, who bears a striking resemblance to Hallie. When I bring it to her attention, Hallie assures me that this is just her older sister."
"My enthusiasm for the pod has alot to do w/ the ladies reminding me of people that have come in & out of my life over the years. 9/11, MySpace, Erowid, DVDs, Limewire, making mixtapes for friends, the advent of internet porn, the Iraq War and so much other shit during which we came of age in.."
"It's insane how little staying power indie rock has anymore. Nu Metal acts have somehow maintained their spot in the culture better than some of those old MySpace/Pitchfork bands."
"Back in the Myspace/MSN/Tumblr days I had one of those very intense online friendships you do as a teen with a girl who lived across town."
"in 2008 sky ferreira sent me a myspace msg praising my profile aesthetic (minimalism done flawlessly ngl) and i left her on read"
"As much as it was adjacent to trailer trash, it seemed pretty authentic because while MySpace was a huge element of it, it wasn't gentrified culture like TikTok Gen Z manufactured trend hopping nostalgia aesthetic bullshit"
"Like my parents said back when I had a Myspace and they had no clue how to relate to it, they asked me "What do you even do on Minespace?""
"I just catfished Ben Shapiro into sending nudes using my AOC MySpace account."
"Our future is VR MySpace"
