# Social Media Re-Launches The New MySpace Design is Devoted to Music By Jordy E | Published 2012-09-27 | Social Media Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-myspace References: [nylonguysmagazine.tumblr](http://nylonguysmagazine.tumblr.com/post/32271490726/the-new-myspace-our-review) & [myspace](http://www.myspace.com/) The new [MySpace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-1) design has made its debut with the help of one of its primary sponsors, Justin Timberlake. Timberlake has helped set the tone for the social media site's re-launch as it is largely focused on the latest music news. The main features and general layout of Myspace has been deemed for some time now to be inferior to that of [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app), Twitter or [Pinterest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-network-for-musicians). It has come back with a vengeance however, making another highly anticipated attempt to take over the online scene. Updated playlists, charts and general bits of information related to the music industry are at the fore of the MySpace overhaul. This resonates with the brand's 18-25 year old demographic. Picture sharing tools and messaging systems are also present. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Social Media Re-launches:** The new MySpace design is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity for social media platforms, as it focuses on music news and targets a specific demographic. - **Music-centric Social Media Platforms:** The MySpace re-launch highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the music industry by creating a dedicated platform for musicians, fans, and industry professionals to connect and discover new music. - **Enhanced User Experience in Social Media:** The revamped MySpace design presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the social media market by offering updated playlists, charts, and improved sharing and messaging tools. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Social Media:** The MySpace re-launch demonstrates the potential for disruptive innovation in the social media industry by catering to specific interests, such as music. - **Music Industry:** The MySpace re-launch creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the music industry, providing a dedicated platform for artists to connect with their fans and promote their music. - **Technology:** The new MySpace design showcases the potential for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by reimagining and improving the user experience in social media platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Re-Imagined Music Sharing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamselect.md) - [Musical Social Media Channels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-network-for-musicians.md) - [Music Updates Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-news.md) - [Music-Focused Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musicboard.md) - [Music App Discovery Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-app-features.md) - [Music-Driven Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-music-mode.md) - [Customizable Profile Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app.md) - [Social Music Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meloday.md) - [Visualized Social Streaming Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotify-and-snapchat.md)
