I remember being 19 and everyone I knew was on MySpace and Livejournal.

There were so many “Top 8” friends dramas. I edited my page to where it would be random pictures or 8 different pics of me just to avoid that nonsense. You could fuck with the code and do all sorts of shit with your profile page. I used to write short stories that were dumb as hell, post them in blog area or whatever it was called, and try pretend I was “original.” Foolish....they were mostly filled with inside jokes only my closest friends would get.

LiveJournal was memorable due to all the passive aggressive posting, lots of “I really hate when people.......” posts and if they had anonymous comments enabled it was a bloodbath

Simpler times, I guess?

You have any memories from these “pioneers of social media?”

MySpace was cool for music. Lots of bands had great song picks on their page. I remember changing my profile song all the time.

edit

also, remember this guy?



Thanks for your time.

I miss hi5.

The community could do custom layouts and upload them to the theme menu so that everyone could use and at the same time visit the creators page. At 17 years old having an account with the view count of a celebrity made me feel good!

Remember when it was “artsy” or “deep” to have your avatar/profile pic just be a closeup picture of your eyeball? I’m pretty sure everyone did this at least once

I had a Myspace, but I don't remember my login information.

 

[Birdo]

Yup. Back when a website didn't ask you for your phone number.

If MySpace account weren’t perm deleted I’d reactivate mine from way back and grab my old pics. Lost some memories when I shut it down

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I never had either.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

I remember having lame music on my profile, and now that I remember.. I had no idea what the hell was I thinking back then.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I remember being friends with all kinds of dressed guinea pigs with hats and tuxedos and stuff.
Good times..

 

[Contica]

Love myspace. Met so lany cool people and it was so easy. Social media back then was about connecting, these days it's aboit tooting your own horn.

We used to use Nexopia in Canada when I was in high school.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Yeah, I remember. Myspace was awesome.

Myspace has had some rough years, people threw it away once Facebook arrived.

When I think of Myspace, I am reminded of Tila Tequila:
