Remember Myspace? It was a thing.

Before everything happened on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, Myspace launched a number of music careers, from The Arctic Monkeys to Enter Shikari.

For those of you young enough not to know what I’m talking about, all you need to know is that Myspace was the biggest social network of the early 2000s.

This means that if you were in a band between 2003 and 2015, you probably had a Myspace account, and if that’s where you stored your music, I’m sorry to tell you that your memories are now dead.

Here’s The Verge:

In an email sent to Redditor u/austinjckson, the company’s data privacy officer confirmed that “due to a server migration files were corrupted and unable to be transferred over to our updated site”

In other words, your music is gone and it’s not coming back.

News that the files may have been lost first surfaced a year ago when the company said that it was experiencing an issue with any songs or videos that were updated over three years ago. At the time, Myspace said that the issue would be fixed, although it was unable to say when. Unfortunately, it now seems that this fix wasn’t possible and “there is no way to recover the lost data.”

Although music is set to be the biggest loss, those embarrassing photos and videos that you uploaded back in the day are dead as well.

Thankfully, your dorky teen photos from 2003 won’t be surfacing to haunt you next time someone does an online search.

As tragic as this is, I’m sure we’ll all get over it.
