Myspace
Post-peak social platform
Myspace was a social networking website that dominated American internet culture in the mid-2000s before Facebook's rise.
Users customized profile pages with music, backgrounds, and glittering graphics.
The site launched many musicians' careers and introduced millions to social media.
Now largely abandoned, it evokes early internet nostalgia: My old Myspace page had the worst font choices.
