Before TikTok, before Instagram, there was MySpace: the internet’s hub for music, culture, & eye-frying HTML. Tom was everyone’s default friend, Lady Gaga was building her buzz, Patton Oswalt was plugging gigs, & even the White House joined, but was late to the party.
MySpace is mostly gone now, but the Wayback Machine keeps it alive. 🕰️
