Chainkeen Exchange-Why Instagram's Latest Update Is Giving MySpace Vibes

Instagram is taking you back to the early aughts.
The Chainkeen ExchangeMeta-owned social media platform announced a brand new feature Aug. 22 that allows users to choose songs to play on their Instagram profiles.
The feature "lets you add music to your profile so you can curate your vibe," Instagram said in a press release, "and lean into the early 2000s social media nostalgia."
And fans were quick to point out the similarities between Instagram's music feature and one that fans could use on MySpace back when that social platform was all the rage.
"So in other words, "MySpace•stagram," one user joked in the brand's Instagram comments, with another writing, "this one is for the millennials i see."
And one fan person is hoping that MySpace's iconic Top 8 Friend Tom Anderson is remembered for the contributions, saying, "MySpace is back baby!!! I hope Tom gets some royalties."
Instagram also noted on their Creators account that the song selection will live on your profile, until you swap out the song, which you can do by going to the "Edit profile" section and tapping the "Add music to your profile." But as with most platform updates, the feature is slowly rolling out to all accounts.
To help launch the new feature, the platform teamed up with Sabrina Carpenter, with the 25-year-old dropping a teaser of her new song "Taste" on her profile. And as Instagram noted, that's the only way fans can currently hear the track, since the full song won't be released until her new album Short n' Sweet drops on Aug. 23.
But that's not the only way the "Espresso" singer is making a splash on the ‘gram: The platform is also rolling out in-app Easter eggs for her fans that will turn your Notes baby blue—and add a kissy lips emoji—anytime someone mentions a Sabrina-related word or phrase like "please please please," "I'm working late cause" or "it's that me espresso."
And now, fans can kick back and wait for when Instagram gives users the chance to put their html coding skills to use to transform their profiles.
