QUIZ: Can you match these Myspace-era bands to their iconic tracks?

If there’s one thing we miss about Myspace, it’s extensively coding our profiles and soundtracking them with our favorite songs.

QUIZ: Can you match these neon-pop lyrics to the bands who sang them?

It’s impossible to picture the 2000s alternative music scene without the added flair of neon pop punk.

2020 has really made many of us miss the good old days where we could blast “Party In Your Bedroom” by Cash Cash on our iPod Nano while taking a new cringey Myspace or Facebook profile picture with neon shutter shades and silicone bracelets. The late 2000s and early 2010s were the height of breezy pop […]
