I was working on a Friendica theme conversion a while back, with the goal of making the theme elements compatible with old-school Myspace layout generators. Unfortunately, Friendica doesn't support a user wall anymore, so I'd maybe have to rewrite the whole thing for Hubzilla?

Best of all so far would be Neocities it offers up to 1gb space of hosting which is enough for old school website. They are also open source and they have their own community. You can literally expend hours surfing around tons of super intersting, amazing looking old web vibe sites. Just give it a try!
I am pretty sure this ia what you're looking for, only minus is that everything ia code, html css, a little of javascript if you want. But of you dont know any of these codes, it can be the perfect opportunity to learn. Even inside Neocities there are some pages that are documentation resources on how to code.
Sharkey is also for microblogging but it also has some extra features, including user sites that can be used as a kind of blog and it "can play module / tracker music files - can play Flash (swf) - (federated) listenbrainz integration, ..."
I haven't tried these functions yet
MySpace is so old that I don't know what it looks like.
Imagine a bright pink background with tiled rotating toaster gifs across the whole thing, with a couple panes saying you like Bloc Party over that
visiting a profile was like visiting a wordpress blog with a budget of code snippets for little widgets and stuff

~~I think you need triple backticks for that comment to render properly!~~
It is triple backticked. Working on my mobile client ~~haven't~~ checked on the website it works just fine.
Oh interesting, must be a fault with my client. I'll raise a bug!
@astro_ray This is what it looks like: #^https://spacehey.com/profile?id=3178945
I will say two things,
- The UI is not bad, has a rustic feel to it
- No offense but your taste in music is kinda basic
I haven't seen anything quite like that yet, but for federated music there's bandwagon.fm which is more of a bandcamp equivalent. There's a lot of fediverse projects, so it wouldn't suprise me if there's something out there.
also funkwhale, but again that's closer to a streaming service
I was gonna suggest Mastodon, or maybe Movim? I know there are non-fediverse websites, like Plurk but that might not be what you're looking for.
GoToSocial allows you to have a customized profile page and use custom emojis and such.
