    The one on the left is an album cover and that style was very popular in the 2000s. Especially in cheesy sci-fi shows (looking at you Stargate Atlantis…)

    The one on the right though, that’s just what cell phone and cheap digital camera pictures looked like when you posted them on MySpace.

      I think you’re left/right confused good at. The left one is the cover of the Evanescence album Fallen from 2003. The one on the right is Boxxy.

      I was there Gandalf.

        Whats a bit amusing is that abpit 10 years seperated Evanacence at their peak and Boxxy. These really are not even from the same “era”.

            She’s still around, and looks relatively normal online:

            I seem to recall she hosted some web show for at least a while, but not as her boxxy persona. She seemed well adjusted.

      That’s Boxxy, and you don’t use that adjective for Boxxy. That’s prob 480p early YouTube.

        I recognized her, but for the record most cheap digital cameras in the 2000s up to and including the original iPhone were VGA standard resolution which is 640x480. So everything was 480p back then.

      Yeah 1.2 megapixel cameras were the norm for a bit. The processing power to stabilize and focus fix all our slight movements people don’t think about now with newer phones all came through.
