The Myspace meme primarily centers around Tom Anderson, the co-founder of the platform and the default first friend for every new user. His profile picture—a grainy, low-resolution photo of him smiling over his shoulder in front of a whiteboard—has become a universal symbol for early social media nostalgia. While the platform itself has largely faded from prominence, Tom remains the internet's 'first friend.' The meme is frequently used to evoke feelings of 2000s nostalgia, mock the complexities of modern social media algorithms, or joke about the high-stakes social drama involved in ranking your 'Top 8' friends.
