About

"Obscure Media" is a term used to describe various media on youtube, usually from before the year 2000, that seems to be rather "obscure, or weird." An example of obscure media would be independent films, shorts, and everything from news broadcasts to drug P.S.A's.

The subreddit defines it as "Have you seen everything to the point of having to look for the obscure and the not so often seen? Well perhaps this reddit is for you. Post your favorites. Discuss, request info whatever. Silent films? 60's & 70's exploitation flicks? Old classics? Old TV. Pretty much anything Give it a try"
