To miss MySpace.com?

[tynext]

Just thinking how I’d love to go back on the old-style MySpace social media website. I miss how you could customise your profile with pretty backgrounds, colourful text etc and even have background music playing on your page
Made it all less soulless and more fun than Facebook!

Plus I think it was the right amount of enjoyable without being too addictive with an endless newsfeed to scroll through.

Surely enough time has passed that rebooting the classic MySpace website would have lots of nostalgic people eager to sign up again.

Haha what a great idea! The amount of stress and pressure I had at 14 trying to find the right background and wording my “about me” perfectly and not forgetting the quizzes you would post on the bulletine board every day 😂 oh and the power of your top 10 friends!!

I completely agree you could definately put a stamp on that page whereas Facebook is just simply boring really!

Wonder what Tom is it up now..

Agreed, I used to love MySpace. I moved to uni in 2007 and I remember all of the students were just starting to sign up to Facebook and I thought it looked rubbish and would never catch on.

I think it had it's time though. The myspace era for me was all about strategically angled selfies, big fringes and finding new pop-punk bands. Those kids grew up and myspace didn't grow up with us. Facebook was more real-time as well, whereas you couldn't really chat with people on myspace in the same way.

PC4PC?

@anyat212 if you're missing Tom...

Looks like he's done alright for himself!

Those were the days! Nobody was addicted to their phones or Fakebook... How things have changed.

Haha I forgot about the whole PC4PC thing! And all the drama MySpace ‘top 8 friends’ would cause. Or was it top 10?

I also remember how YouTube was in that era. The slogan was ‘broadcast yourself’ and there was the ‘video response’ option to reply directly to videos, plus no adverts before/during videos!

I agree MySpace wouldn’t really have a place in social media nowadays, however I think reverting back to it’s old form would surely attract more visitors indulging in the novelty and nostalgia of it, surely more than use it now.

My younger emo self loved MySpace too. The angst over top friends and the annoyance when somebody copied ‘your’ song on their page.

I logged in to my account not so long enough and lots of pictures were there but all my messages had gone 😐

I think it was the top 8 actually! As soon as someone pissed you off it was like right I’ll show you.. moves said person to 8th on list

Tom is doing well for himself isn’t he!

Yep MySpace was definitely the place for the emo kids 😂 big side-swept fringes, skinny jeans, eyeliner, hello kitty clothes and bands like fall out boy were all the rage. I remember there was another social media website called Bebo- people tended to be on one or the other.

MySpace! I loved that. I had Blondie ‘Atomic’ playing on my page! I switched Facebook in about 2007 at uni, no one I knew was really using MySpace by then.

Ahhh! I'd totally use Myspace again. Viva 2006 baby!
