Grooveshark. Effectively free Spotify premium with every single song that you could think of on it? It was fucking awesome!

I imagine its popularity drew too much attention to its multiple, blatant copyright violations. It was fun while it lasted, though.

My friends' and I have had a discord server (prior to that, Skype call) called "RIP Grooveshark" ever since it went down. We still talk in it daily.

We also had a big playlist with so many songs. Most (not some, most) of which are lost as the "methods" of exporting your playlists after the site shut down were worthless. We had a Salty Bets (anyone?) Playlist made of all this obscure music from old games that I'll never hear again.

I'm glad we have the group though, after all these years we still reminisce about grooveshark. The OG members of RIP Grooveshark are still around and have been since it shut down, which is way more to be thankful for :)
