The Shrek soundtracks are honestly the most iconic things to exist. So glad they found a place on your list.

It’s the one habit I can’t break! It formed my childhood and now in a grown adult (worn out woman) still watching aged 32. Tracey Barlow is still the greatest character x

Luce I love this so much!! I feel like you might like Alice Oseman's books, I know everyone loves Heartstopper but they have a few novels and I really think I Was Born For This and Radio Silence would be right up your alley!

oh yes!!!!!

Habbo Hotel! I know so few people who were on there. It was a sleezy place.

Expand full comment

Here to hype Jolly Pocket Postman yeeeeesssss that was my fave book, it’s so cool!!

Such a neat list, all the nostalgia feels! 😍

Expand full comment

I LOVE IT SO MUCH STILL

Read the entire thing thinking omg am I Luce? Is Luce me? This is incredible. I grew up in Slovakia so my experience is very Central/East European, but still like 50% of the things listed touched my teenage soul the same way. It’s fascinating. I love it and I’m on my way to make my own list!

Loved that you had We Live In Public on your list. Mandatory watching for sure. Fascinating and pretty chilling in hindsight. It’s been a minute since I re-watched it, so maybe today.

God the 12th Man is such a niche nod, but I had exactly the same experience. My dad used to listen to it constantly and it's stuck in my brain forever. We moved on eventually to a burnt cd of random Monty Python skits and my brother and I can still recite them word for word 😂

Expand full comment

okkkkkk so i think we had the SAME DAD

Expand full comment

It's so funny because I can quote the sketches but I have no idea where they belong in context... When I run into someone who has watched a lot of Monty Python they can't understand why I don't know their references back 😂

Expand full comment

its actually insane how most of these would be on my list too. feeling like i need to make my own list like this because in true sysca fashion i too started off as a fangirl (i dont know if ive ever really left that tbh) my only addition would be mamma mia because that was my whole personality (it still is tbh)

Expand full comment

OMG YES MAKE YOUR OWN LIST LILY!!! I actually found it super theraputic

Expand full comment

currently making it and wow i did not realise there would be so many things lmao like im talking 4 pages of things...

Expand full comment

Dr Hook on road trips is so niche omg I’ve never had an original experience

Expand full comment

WAIT I CANT BELIEVE YOU HAD THIS TOO

Expand full comment

I completely forgot about Rookie mag until now, that website honestly formed me as a person and I just completely forgot about it. I’m ashamed!

Also Laura’s star… so niche this list honestly made my morning

Expand full comment
