UPDATE #3: Thanks to SpaceHey user XxLex LethalxX, I have solved this mystery once and for all. A couple of minutes ago, they informed me that the acronym FB stands for Facebook Gang. According to him, Facebook Gang is a newer Perfection Group that was formed on a Discord server about two months ago, hence why I was unable to find out anything about this group online even after sifting though many extremely old videos about Perfection Groups*. Also according to them, Facebook Gang functions less like a Perfection Group and more like an Instagram clique or friend group. Another thing he mentioned is that Facebook Gang has been involved in Instagram drama before.
UPDATE #2: I have discovered what AE stands for! After doing some more research on Perfection Groups, I stumbled upon a video called "Aesthetic ecstacy myspace perfection group". This video was uploaded to YouTube 14 years ago and confirms that AE stands for Aesthetic Ecstacy (link to the video: https://youtu.be/3we9It2BzM8?si=RdCJsMuabw9UiopL). Now I just need to find out what FB stands for!
UPDATE: I still don't know what FB and AE stand for, but I have now found out what PD and PDR stand for. After I asked one of the users pictured below what the PD in their username stood for, I discovered that PD stands for Perfection Dolls (PDR stands for Perfection Dolls Revolution). For any users who are unfamiliar with Perfection Dolls, they were a so-called "Perfection Group" on MySpace. Perfection Groups, according to a quick Google search I did, were MySpace groups that only accepted those MySpace users they thought were the most creative and the best at photoshop/editing. Apparently, a lot of MySpace-era Perfection Groups were extremely toxic, but SpaceHey users are trying to create non-toxic Perfection Groups this year. Since Perfection Dolls was one of the more well-known Perfection Groups on MySpace, the major group that some SpaceHey users are trying to bring back in 2025 is Perfection Dolls. I really thought I knew a lot about MySpace, but this is making me rethink what I know. Learning about this has made me feel like a new scene kid all over again!
Can somebody, preferably somebody with one of these acronyms in their username, PLEASE explain to me what the acronyms PD, PDR, AE, and FB mean? I've been seeing people adding these acronyms to their usernames lately and I have genuinely no idea what they mean. I tried searching up the meanings of these acronyms on Google and have found out absolutely nothing. If it's important, all of the people who have these acronyms in their usernames are scene/emo kids. I have been a scene kid for three years and consider myself well-versed in both present and past emo/scene culture, but even I am stumped by this recent trend.
Examples of what I am talking about:
* I couldn't really find out anything about the more obscure Perfection Groups on Google, so I had to resort to watching videos on YouTube that had been untouched for more than 10 years to learn anything about them.

I know, right? I feel like I accomplished something huge even though all I did was solve a little obscure mystery.

it seems like it took a lot of effort though :0

It did, to be honest. Finding out what FB meant was the hardest part of solving the mystery, and now that I know that Facebook Gang is a newer Perfection Group I understand why.

I just hope the PFPs aren't catfishes...
They're not! All of the users are real users. I have two of these users added and they're both who they say they are.

Well, I actually don't know much about the user in the second to last photo. I've seen the image in that person's pfp elsewhere, so that person's profile photo is not them.

Okay, I looked at the profile of the person in the second to last image and they state outright that their pfp isn't them. They're not pretending to be the person in their pfp, which is a good thing. Sorry for replying to your comment so much. Lulz
