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.

Gorgeous and unique YouTube videos. She gives a real insight into her thoughts and feelings while maintaining a sense of visual awe that you can't find anywhere else.

Death By Thrifting-Vlogs about thrifting and some other stuff.
Kendall Hoyt-she recently released a series about dating on NYC. She also does stuff with outfits, vlogs, etc. I started watching ‘cause I really like her camera presence.
This one isn’t necessarily slow, but Jules Dapper. She makes videos about random stuff but she makes you just as invested as she is on the topic. She’s also very funny. She has the video The Most Mysterious Illness in History talking about the fear people developed when glass had just started to become a popular material, where rich people thought they were made of glass and would shatter. I also like Let’s Bully Hans Christian Andersen, where she talks about what a weird guy he was lol. These are from her series Dapper History but she has other series on her channel as well.
Lola Sebastian also makes great videos about miscellaneous stuff. I particularly liked her last video Stupid Sexy Tennis Movies. But the one that made me care for her as a creator, was her Anthony Bourdain video: Anthony Bourdain: A Love Song. (She stood out, as before that, I didn’t care for Anthony Bourdain at all but I watched her whole video).

Currently getting through Dan Olson/Folding Idea’s latest video. All of his stuff is great and thoroughly well researched. Some of my fave videos of his: Tuca & Bertie, Flat Earth, and *his critique* of the Nostalgia Critic's *critique* of The Wall by Pink Floyd - his videos on NFTs and The Metaverse are fantastic too
In no particular order, here's some more YouTubers I'm subbed to:

I just love them so much. Perfect music in literally any situation. This is a video of them playing live but I would actually recommend listening to the following albums foremost:
Know By Heart
The Golden Band
The Fun of Watching Fireworks

I recently read a book of letter between Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, and felt immense jealousy at the fact that I will never have a record of my evolving relationships as robust as that.
If you want to be penpals, send me a message! i promise to spill my guts via the written medium & include cute stickers too 🤓
