In this video, we deep dive into 8 pieces of lost media with bizarre backstories. The mysterious world of lost media & internet searches are incredibly strange & unusual. Let’s get into some notorious mysterious songs similar to “Everyone Knows That,” and some vaporwave vibes that remind me of the predecessor of frutiger aero. We also have Nickelodeon lost media. And the lost media found in 2023, Turn-On.

the kmart cassette story reminds me of the missing episodes of doctor who, and how a good majority of the ones that were rediscovered were due to someone working at a television station who just couldn't bring themselves to destroy a piece of art and took it home with them instead. we're super lucky that there are such conscious people out there

[NotOnLand]

It's so bittersweet seeing media so ahead of its time. Turn On would have been an influential cult classic if it had been allowed to air.

Panchiko sounds really good. Never expected to walk away from a lost media video with a new band to follow

[catis]

The parents of the kid with the broken arm were so negligent. They knew he had the disease and let them do that kind of challenge, where he could easily fall. I can't imagine breaking an arm 20 times just when you were a child.

"What do you consider the working class?"
"The unemployed!"

Well if that isn't poignant as ever.

Glad to know that people in 1969 would be terrified of content produced today, lmao

[cybiinnie]

The Panchiko Death Metal one immediately threw me for a loop, because the art on the front was drawn by Wataru Yoshizumi, the creator of Marmalade Boy. I was obsessed with that manga as a kid, so seeing her artwork like this was immediately recognizable.

[sunnycombz]

it’s really sweet that you mentioned the victims of the bar shooting, and what their interests were and what they did. some youtubers only focus on the perpetrator and not enough in the victims

[truebornseeker]

The ‘working class’ bit from Turned On is genuinely genius and good commentary on how lower classes who aren’t the classic idea of the destitute homeless man or the old shaking crack addict or whatever tend to over estimate their position in the class hierarchy (or believe they’re closer to the higher classes than they are with fellow poor or working class people)
I absolutely love it lol

[philroc]

Hey thanks for covering Turn-On! It was definitely ahead of its time (maybe a little too far ahead) and deserves at least some respect, even if its ideas suffered from poor execution. I can confirm that the Reddit user you mentioned is an acquaintance of mine and that he knows how I originally acquired the episodes.

[firebird]

just want to say, i appreciate how you approached the bratislava shooting. some lost media/internet mystery youtubers seem entirely too eager to give graphic and violent details about people's deaths, and it is... frustrating.

[cola]

my brother is one of the people who’s absolutely convinced the whole panchiko story was faked for publicity, but it would’ve had to be a really elaborate hoax for that to be true. also even if it was, it’s still a good album and a fun story— i know this might be a controversial opinion, but artists setting up args to promote their music (think dj rozwell and the erratas situation) is actually really cool and i’d like to see it more often

[kittenmittenkitten]

The vocal style used in the Sinking Ships track and the "Most Mysterious Song" is actually pretty common for 80s post-punk/new wave! If anyone wants to check out more in this style I'd recommend:

Clan of Xymox - Obsession
The Chameleons - Second Skin
Asylum Party - Play Alone
Lowlife - As It Happens

I'm sure I can come up with more examples, but those are the ones that came to mind off the top of my head. Naturally it all goes back to Joy Division, but I feel these have evolved in a distinct direction.

I am from Slovakia and that murder is one of the most disgusting crimes that disturbed me this year RIP Vankulic and Horvath nezabudneme vás 💜

[geeker]

Turn On would have fit right in on Adult Swim with the rest of its programming.

[chompchompchangbin]

The Panchiko ending is so wholesome, actually. You're right, sometimes things do end in that way like the fact that my mom drunkenly told my dad she was going to marry him years before they even really knew each other 😂

[burntbrownie]

kylie is honestly one of the best lost media channels out there

[lexaprofessional]

as an avid vapor wave listener and former kmart service desk worker, what mark did is so amazing!!!

[LeveyHere]

The K-Mart tapes are so interesting, I love the preservation of literally anything. Even admittedly the disturbing, terrible things. History and anything throughout time deserves a place in preservation to be able to be enjoyed, studied, learned from, or just kept as memento of a time past. These videos always interest me.

[starlingeyed]

I feel like kylie's lost media videos all have things I've never heard of, or at least mostly never heard of, and I really appreciate that.
