For me, it probably goes back to high school when I was introduced to the band AFI. That was my first taste of the horror punk genre and subsequently got me into bands like The Misfits and White Zombie, the stories of H. P. Lovecraft, body and cosmic horror films like The Thing and Hellraiser, and in general opened me up to media outside of the mainstream.

There are probably multiple things that were formative to me, as is with everyone, but the first thing that comes to mind would probably be the Gurren Lagann anime.
If I had a penny for every time I've confidently recited the whole "believe in me who believes in you" speech to my friends back in my teenage years I'd be rich. Something about the whole spirit of that anime either altered something in my brain or nourished something that was already there. The idea of always moving forward, the very anime concept of yelling in the face of your problems, the idea that sometimes all you need to win is to Not Give Up and Keep Going and Believe, the importance of interpersonal connections, the praise of incomprehensibility and not playing by the rules or listening to people who tell you you'll fail... That spoke to me then, that speaks to me still.
My soul is the drill that will pierce the very heavens!
As a little kid I was also obsessed with a book about Musicians of Bremen. I think that was the book that taught me how to read and boy did I read it. And then as a teen I also went through a huge Speed Racer phase, what with the whole "an underdog wins against corporate scheming because Family, and Doing the Things You Love, and Not Selling Out, and The True Spirit of Racing. (That was a fixation that taught me how to draw, make videos, participate in fandom...oh, and speak English.)
And then my parents who watched it all unfold act all surprised when I can't find it in me to be motivated by monetary gain and capitalistic culture, staying a broke artist instead. Who would've thunk!!
