The 5 possible results
Every answer nudges you toward one of these. Here is what each one means.
You belong in the 1920s
Glamour, late nights, live music, and the sense that an occasion should be dressed for. You want life to have some ceremony to it, and you find the modern habit of doing everything in comfortable clothes at home faintly depressing.
You belong in the 1970s
Community, records played all the way through, and a general suspicion of institutions. You want things to be real more than you want them to be polished, and you would rather build something small with people you like than climb something large alone.
You belong in the 1980s
Big ambition with no embarrassment attached. You like scale, momentum, and the idea that wanting more is a perfectly good reason to work harder.
You belong in the 1990s
Unbothered, slightly allergic to hype, and deeply committed to not performing enthusiasm you do not feel. You want to be left alone with good music and a few people who get it.
You belong in the early 2000s
The last era where the future felt exciting rather than threatening. You like new things, you adopt them early, and you have a soft spot for optimism about technology that has not entirely survived contact with reality.
