Myspace (formerly stylised as MySpace) is a social network that was primarily popular during the early to mid 2000s. Over the years, it has been used by fans in a variety of ways to gather and share their love of a range of fandoms. Due to its widespread use by musicians and its ease of use by bands to share music and connect with their fans, it has long been a particular hub for music fandom.
