Ah, Myspace. A lawless land of auto-playing Fall Out Boy songs, HTML disasters, and the social hierarchy-defining Top 8. It was the glittery Wild West of the internet, and a few chaotic icons reigned supreme. These were the over-edited, emo-banged, duck-faced deities of the digital age—and whether you wanted to be them, date them, or just steal their layout code, you definitely knew who they were.
So, what happened to the kings and queens of our teenage cyberspace? Let's log in (mentally, of course—no one remembers their password) and find out.
10. Kiki Kannibal
Peak Fame: ~200,000 Myspace followers
Age Now: 31
Then: The bleach-blonde, scene queen it girl of Myspace who gave drama and DIY hair extensions in equal measure. Her pastel rainbow aesthetic and Myspace feuds were legendary.
Now: Kiki (real name Kirsten Ostrenga) has publicly distanced herself from her Myspace persona, having gone through intense harassment and trauma. These days, she's focused on advocacy, mental health awareness, and living life off the grid (literally—she deleted most of her socials).
9. Brandon Hilton
Peak Fame: ~500,000 followers
Age Now: 37
Then: Self-proclaimed "Myspace celebrity" and synth-pop artist with cheekbones so sharp they could slice through your Razr phone.
Now: Brandon rebranded as “D3AD6UY” (yes, really) and still makes music, though with more of a cyberpunk, goth-digital aesthetic. Think Hot Topic meets TikTok AI-core.
8. Jac Vanek
Peak Fame: ~300,000+ followers
Age Now: 38
Then: The punk princess of sassy wristbands and attitude-laced selfies. If you wore a “LOVE BITES” rubber bracelet in 2007, it probably came from her.
Now: Jac is the co-host of the podcast The LadyGang, runs her own lifestyle brand, and somehow managed to parlay her Myspace fame into a legit career. Girlboss behavior.
7. Tila Tequila
Peak Fame: Over 1.5 million Myspace friends (the first to hit that milestone!)
Age Now: 42
Then: The queen of bisexual chaos, MTV dating shows (A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila), and eyebrow-raising Myspace thirst traps.
Now: Tila's since gone full internet cautionary tale—dabbling in conspiracy theories, religious extremism, and just about every scandal you can think of. It’s giving what happened???
6. Audrey Kitching
Peak Fame: ~500,000+ followers
Age Now: 39
Then: The fairy princess of pastel goth, Audrey was all cotton-candy hair, alien vibes, and metaphysical quotes over grainy selfies.
Now: She pivoted into fashion and spiritual wellness (because of course she did), launching a crystal-heavy brand before getting hit with accusations of exploitation and scamming. Mercury was definitely in retrograde for that chapter.
5. Chris Crocker
Peak Fame: Viral in 2007 with “Leave Britney Alone!” + massive Myspace following
Age Now: 36
Then: Internet icon and emotional warrior for Britney Spears’ dignity. Gender-bending, boundary-pushing, and totally unforgettable.
Now: Chris reintroduced themselves as Cara Cunningham and is now living a quieter life as a singer, creator, and LGBTQ+ advocate. Glow-up of the century.
4. Forbidden aka Forbiddenx (Matthew Lush)
Peak Fame: Over 500,000 friends
Age Now: 36
Then: The OG gay Myspace icon, famous for his eyeliner, hair swoop, and being everyone's emo boyfriend fantasy.
Now: Matthew Lush became a YouTube creator and LGBTQ+ influencer, though his content slowed down in recent years. Still gay. Still iconic.
3. Hanna Beth
Peak Fame: ~500,000+ Myspace friends
Age Now: 36
Then: The pastel punk Barbie who dated Trace Cyrus and reigned as the fashion-forward queen of the "scene" scene.
Now: Hanna Beth still pops up on Instagram modeling various boho fits and crystal jewelry, and even had a stint on House of DVF. Less neon, more sage smudging.
2. Christine Dolce (aka ForBiddeN)
Peak Fame: Over 1.1 million friends, aka Myspace’s top female user
Age Now: Would be 42
Then: With her platinum hair, heavy eyeliner, and sultry selfies, Christine was Myspace. She modeled, had a clothing line, and even appeared in Playboy.
Now: Tragically, Christine passed away in 2017 due to liver failure after struggling with addiction. She remains a beloved legend in Myspace history and internet culture.
1. Jeffree Star
Peak Fame: Over 1.7 million Myspace friends
Age Now: 39
Then: Myspace's most notorious facebeat villain. A glam-and-gore icon who built an empire off outrageous makeup, aggressive lyrics, and razor-sharp shade.
Now: Jeffree leveraged his Myspace fame into a billion-dollar beauty brand (Jeffree Star Cosmetics), a few major YouTube scandals, and now lives on a yak ranch in Wyoming, selling meat and makeup. Because… why not?
Honorable Mention: Your own embarrassing profile with a sparkly name like xXxAshleySceneQueenxXx, a Falling In Reverse autoplay track, and 12 glitter gifs. We see you. We were all cringe once.
Final Thoughts:
The Myspace elite might've traded in their mirror selfies and Picnik-edits for podcasts and product lines, but their legacy? Untouchable. They walked (in fishnets and fingerless gloves) so Instagram influencers could run. And somewhere, Tom is still everyone’s first friend—just watching from the shadows.
