On Myspace, Noor al-Sibai is a scene queen: artfully curated and presented to rise to the top of the top 8. Off of it, she's a teenager: dealing with trauma both personal and political, bad relationships, and understanding the ways in which the new world of social media is changing her relationship to each of these. In this new installment of Remember the Internet, Noor al-Sibai tells the story of growing up on Myspace as part of the first generation to come of age online.
Noor Al-Sibai (she/they) is a Carolina-raised and Brooklyn-dwelling Arab-American journalist. Besides writing for a living, she enjoys experiencing ego death on dancefloors, getting scared during non-scary movies, and wasting away in bed like a wealthy and mentally ill Victorian woman.
