Shownotes

MySpace wasn’t just a website - it was where your Top 8 friendships played out, your profile song spoke louder than words, and your HTML skills defined your aesthetic. 

In this episode, Kylie and Miranda rewind to the mid-2000s to unpack the rise and spectacular fall of the platform that gave us Lady Gaga and Panic! at the Disco, confused parents with glitter graphics and code, and then lost it all with Rupert Murdoch’s $580 million gamble and a logo that literally became blank space. Equal parts nostalgia trip and branding cautionary tale, it’s a look back at the emo internet that raised a generation.
