When I think of Britishcore I think of closet racism, pro-imperialism, an unearned sense of exceptionalism and general classism. But that’s just me.

Fixed that for you.
All your points apply to the entire European continent. 😉
- Being told we’re gonna kill your Nan for the economy
This is clearly a piss take list.
This is like the Netflix “top 10 in your country right now” list.
Never have I felt more alienated from my fellow country people than by reading this list.
In the course of human history the creation of Britain and the concept of Britishness as it is today was a mistake. We shouldn’t have done it folks. It’s bad. This list shows a deeply sick society and culture. You’re right to be alienated, it’s deeply alienating.
I imagine that he was highlighting the fact that real men live on the Devensian British-Irish Ice Sheet, not this…turf. Now the whole thing’s packed full of hedgehogs and badgers and Morrisonses and such.
100 experiences that define 25-35 year old social media-posting middle-class Britons
Wait, how many 25 year olds in 2024 do you think remember the Mighty Boosh (2003-07), or Chicken Run (2000), or Who Shot Phil Mitchell (2001), or Caroline Quentin-era Jonathan Creek (1997-2000), or know people who were extras in the Harry Potter films (2001-11), or remember the Animals of Farthing Wood TV programme (1993-97), or spilled their drink on Miquita Oliver at a squat party in 2007 (2007)?
I said 25-35, not 25.
Mighty Boosh (2003-07)
Lots
Chicken Run (2000)
Lots
Who Shot Phil Mitchell (2001)
Not many
Caroline Quentin-era Jonathan Creek (1997-2000)
A reasonable amount
Or know people who were extras in the Harry Potter films (2001-11)
A similar amount to people that are 5 years older. I.e. not many in the grand scheme of things.
remember the Animals of Farthing Wood TV programme (1993-97)
Not many
or spilled their drink on Miquita Oliver at a squat party in 2007 (2007)?
I don’t even know what that is and I’m 39. I doubt many people did in any age group.
A lot of your comment seems to be based on the assumption that people only watch films/TV that’s just coming out now, and therefore no young adults will know anything that came from the 90s or early 2000s.
