Laura Holliday is a freelance journalist based in London, UK. Her work primarily covers the online world, especially lost media, digital aesthetics and internet folklore, and her reporting has appeared in Vice, Dazed, and The Daily Beast, as well as various indie mags.
In April 2024, she was interviewed for the Something Offbeat podcast about lostwave — ghost songs that nobody can identify, after a formerly unidentified song she wrote about ('Ulterior Motives') was discovered in a 1980s NSFW movie. She hopes to write more about lost media in 2025.
Her research and scriptwriting has also appeared on YouTube — including for internet detective Nexpo and his audience of 3.6 million subscribers. These cinematic stories run the gamut from true crime and irl unsolved mysteries to strange and disturbing corners of the internet.
Laura's fave things include: classic Tomb Raider, JRPGs, liminal spaces, prestige TV, the sort of shit indie music your boyfriend listens to, urban wandering, iced coffee and her cat. If she could describe herself in one word it would be: UNLOCK.
