Ultimate hipster millennial derpcore faux-reality MTV show. I honestly had to google it to see if it existed or if it was an amalgamation of the 2010 vibe that turned out to be my own fever dream.
It came out when I was a freshman in high school. this was pre-smartphone and i spent a lot of time watching MTV in the morning before school.
My husband is a couple years older than me and was also a MTV kid, but he’d never heard of this show. I made him watch the clip of the titular Liz covering “The Funeral” by Band of Horses and he couldn’t stop laughing. It is just SO 2010, if you weren’t there, this will put you there. For today’s kids, it sounds like that one clip on instagram live of that child singing that british tiktok song (M to the B?) in cursive and the other girl on the live is smiling with tears in her eyes from trying not to laugh. This is the environment where that voice started lol
I am genuinely curious if anyone else remembers this show or if I was the only one that watched it and somehow didn’t realize it was entirely scripted.

this show came out when i was a freshman in hs and even back then i was like there’s no way everybody in this allegedly real school has an alliterative name.. that being said I do remember watching it all in one sitting on the mtv website and listening to her cover of the funeral a lot lol

YOU ASKED

I saw somebody else respond in this format so I’m going to provide my misc memories from being 6-16 in the 2000s:
• frying an egg on the sidewalk/asphalt/car hoods with kids from my apartment complex because we were convinced it was that hot out • watching SpongeBob seasons 1-3 on repeat • watching mtv after school and always having a talk show or pbs queued up on the “previous channel” button so if my mom came home I could quickly look like I was watching Ellen or Oprah or cyberspace all along (mtv shows were so raunchy) •you had to watch vh1 for anything music related • catalogs!!! i would do all my “scrolling” in limited too catalogs and then dig through racks at tj maxx to find similar things my mom could actually buy •teen mags for the quizzes • driving around with my mom listening to her cds while she smoked and ran errands (honestly this still holds up today/ I keep it alive in my own ac-less suv) • beanie babies and being called out if you had fakes • listening to radio Disney on my boom box before bed •riding my bike aimlessly when I had nothing else to do •walking to the gas station with my $5 allowance and buying Sobe, now n later, tgi Friday potato skins, and cherry vanilla coke •I also got in trouble a lot for wandering off or smoking rolled up sticky notes or vandalizing storage units with “brat girl” or something so y2k •I remember my outfits so well…. Many cheeky graphic tees, ringer tees, layered tanks, peasant skirts, stripes, capris, platform sneakers, chokers •redesigning my MySpace every weekend •changing my aim screen name with the seasons •being bullied by boys in middle school, over aim or getting prank called •when I got a cell phone I never remember charging it, but I do remember trying to break my Nokia brick because I wanted a razr or a chocolate, but it was truly indestructible •listening to mix cds in friends cars as they began to drive because nobody had an aux cord or Bluetooth •2008-2010 we’re really dark so I’ll spare you more details
