Myspace Is Coming Back With Profile HTML
Myspace is planning a full relaunch, its owners have confirmed. Chris and Tim Vanderhook revealed it in a new documentary titled Myspace, directed by Tommy Avallone, pitching the revived platform as an alternative to today's algorithm-heavy apps. The idea leans into everything modern social media has drifted from.
That means a deliberately old-school design. The network would run entirely on a chronological feed rather than addictive engagement loops, reviving customizable profile HTML, background music, plus the classic "Top 8" friend ranking. The focus falls on creativity, personal spaces, and music discovery over endless scrolling.
The timing is not locked in yet. The Vanderhooks say they are waiting for the right moment before a full rollout, but the underlying numbers suggest real momentum. Monthly active users reportedly grew from 200,000 in 2023 to nearly 6 million in 2026, driven largely by Millennial nostalgia plus app burnout.
That growth has translated into rare good news. Myspace reportedly reached its first profitable year in over a decade, a notable turn given its long history. The brothers previously sank more than $150 million trying to revive the site after buying it from News Corp, and they are vowing to keep trying.
