🌟defunctland: classic. i feel like this is the basic answer for anyone who’s into video essays, but you must understand that i’ve been a theme park fiend since childhood and used to watch defunctland long before he blew up, so he’s special to me.
🌟contrapoints: whoever LIED and told me she did something really fucked up, leading me to take a year-long break from her content, is going to hell. so damn smart. baltimore legend.
🌟broeydeschanel: my favorite film critic. sensible, funny, and generally way more thoughtful with her critiques than other influencer critic types.

🌟bigbooklady: great recommendations that are outside of the run-of-the-mill indie girl genre
🌟ana wallace: same deal but more mature. opens my eyes & tastes in a way that social media doesn’t allow for
🌟carley thorne: standup comedian and booktube veteran with a balance of popular and niche recs. retired from booktube-ing for a style that i’m not jazzed about, but i still love her.

I’m convinced that this YouTuber based in London is the most criminally underrated artist of our generation.
She is able to capture what it’s like to be in your 20s in a big city, just trying your best to connect to your creativity while also doing all the little things you have to do.
She uses mainly two different cameras— a nice Sony and an old camcorder— and I love how that creates a multi-textured visual style. Her editing style is superb, lots of fade-in’s and superimposed images. Her needle drops honestly rival Scorsese’s, and her monologues/prose remind me at times of Kerouac and others Babitz.
Sometimes she includes cheeky little skits that verge on magical realism. They’re hilarious, while also walking the line between absurdity and Truth.
i haven’t been able to find her on social media, but I follow her Spotify because her playlists are insanely good.
Linking the video I discovered of hers— but highly recommend diving deep into her other works.

I love her. So funny and such a comfort creator to me. She’s been doing YT for a while but then stopped, and came back and now I’m re-obsessed with her. she’s Canadian and very cool. If you like vlogs, she’s a good one to watch
