Top 8 Things You'll Miss About Classic Myspace

Today that MySpace page that you so carelessly discarded in favor of your newer, shiner Facebook page will change forever.

MySpace's classic interface gets the boot today, so all you'll have are the memories of your carefully curated top eight and your spectacular collection of glitter GIFs. It's the end of an era, so feel free to blast the Vitamin C as you scroll.

1. You'll miss the feeling of victory when your friend put you in her top eight.

But you won't miss the stress of choosing your top eight and ranking them within (if you think you didn't rank, you're lying to yourself).

But you won't miss the shimmer edges that may or may not have permanently damaged your vision with their constant sparkles.

3. You'll miss constructing the perfect playlist that instantly told anyone visiting your profile you were deep, an individual and almost painfully cool.

But you won't miss hearing your friends' favorite songs whenever you visited another profile.

4. You'll miss the friendly, reassuring smile of Tom.

But you won't miss the mystery surrounding Tom. Who is he? What's he writing on the whiteboard? If he's friends with everyone, can he really be friends with anyone?

But you won't miss feeling overwhelmed when every single photo was a pulsing orange online now man.

Most of all, you'll miss all that your old MySpace represents, your younger self ...
