No one wants to post their water bottle with fruits and black mold buildup anymore. That’s the reason why social media is not it anymore. Reject modernity, embrace tradition.

📟In a world obsessed with innovation, is the real secret to the future simply rediscovering the past?
There’s something oddly refreshing about the thought of Xanga, LiveJournal, or even MySpace making a comeback. In an era dominated by curated grids and fleeting 24-hour stories, these early platforms offered something simpler: a space to write, reflect, and connect without the pressure of algorithms or perfection. Back then, we shared messy thoughts, poured out feelings, and customized our profiles to reflect us, not what would trend. These platforms weren’t about chasing likes; they were about building connection and embracing individuality. Could a return to these slower, more personal forms of social media be the antidote to today’s hyper-curated, always-on digital world?
As we navigate a landscape of endless notifications and performative posts, it’s worth asking: have we become too connected? Nostalgia for the early internet isn’t just about glittery profiles and Top 8 friends—it’s about reclaiming the authenticity we’ve lost in the noise. Xanga and LiveJournal encouraged reflection, not perfection, while MySpace championed individuality over sameness. Maybe what we need now isn’t a new platform, but a revival of old-school digital simplicity, where being online feels more human and a little less exhausting.

🎡we all talk about how we crave the 'old internet' (luv perf imperfect for this) and 'to be cringe is to be free' - yet we still heavily curate our instagrams/social medias. bring back shitposting and not caring how it performs. once a week (sometimes twice) i post on my instagram (main feed at that), just showing pictures off my digi cam from the past few days. they're not always exciting; i went on a walk w my friends, i sat by the pool all day, here's my room, etc. just post whatever tf you want and then turn ur phone off.

😃Ever since I visited NYC, my new hobby became daydreaming about moving there and thinking it will somehow miraculously fix my depression.

Zed Kenzo is one of my favourite hidden gems on the scene. She dropped her new album and it stays on repeat.
