SpaceHey, one of the largest web revival sites.

The Web Revival is an online social movement started in the late 2010s, early 2020s, which aims to restore the internet to a state more reminiscent of the 2000s.[1] This may be done by the creation of new websites, which borrow the styles of earlier web design; the replication of old websites, which have been terminated or changed greatly; or simply a change in mindset from using large corporate sites, to smaller, independent ones, which further promote creativity.[2]

The movement is lead not just by nostalgia, but the following main ideologies:

  • The importance of creativity
  • The distaste of corporatism
  • The idea that content on the internet must be created simply for fun, rather than an attempt for money and/or attention[3]
