YouTubers That Cured My Quarantine Depression

YouTubers That Cured My Quarantine Depression

By Arielle Ostry

This is a hodgepodge inventory of channels that have given me strength (as a distraction) during these unprecedented times. Being stuck inside for so long without professional sports or live concerts to look forward to has been challenging, but YouTube creators have picked up a lot of slack in the entertainment department. The list below is quite eclectic, so while you may not enjoy everything on it, hopefully you can find at least one channel that interests you and can supplement your quarantine routine!

Brad Mondo

If you haven’t felt the urge to give yourself some home-made bangs with all the salons closed, did you actually experience the great spring quarantine of 2020? Brad Mondo, a hair stylist and colorist based in NYC, is doing his part to make sure you don’t mess up your hair at home. Nevertheless, if you happen to fail and upload the video footage documenting the disaster, he’s not above reacting to it. There’s something so entertaining about watching Brad cringe as countless angsty teens and mistakenly confident adults fry their ends or turn their hair chicken yellow. It’s truly addictive. All the while, Brad will never neglect to call you beautiful and provide some sage advice. Mainly, “Bleach doesn’t lather!”
