From the 'About Me' to the comments, it contained more affirmations than DJ Khaled's Snapchat, all packaged haphazardly in a customized page decorated with clip art dollar signs. We were all in it together, complicit in our needless questionnaire bulletins, poor fashion decisions, and blatant chirpsing.Įarlier this year, we revisited Ke$ha's MySpace profile from 2008, and what we found was a veritable time capsule of a simpler, better existence online. And the best thing about it all was that this is exactly what famous people did too. Leave a comment on Pete Wentz's page informing him precisely which common interests you share and why they are reasons to date? No question. Spend hours customizing a profile where the lyrics from Tell All Your Friends waterfall down the screen and the cursor is a broken heart? Obviously. Everything seemed like a good idea simply because it was a new one: run every single selfie through Photoshop and up the contrast to the point where your face looks like a spoon with eyes and a lip ring? Essential. In 2004, nobody had a fucking clue what they were doing online. Launching on the cusp of an era when members of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Brand New were worshipped with a fervor traditionally reserved for boybands and the cast of Harry Potter, Myspace was the most immediate and direct form of artist-to-fan interaction you could get.
