🎵 Which Music Decade Are You?

Every generation has a soundtrack, and yours might be hiding in how you build a playlist, decorate your room, or argue about the best song at the last party. This quiz looks at the small habits behind your taste: whether you'd rather flip through crackly records in a dusty shop, pour your heart into a mixtape, or spend an hour perfecting a Top 8 for your profile. Nobody is sorting you by age or coolness here.

Answer ten quick questions about road trips, parties, and the stuff you'd grab in a hurry. At the end you'll land on one of five decades, each with its own vibe, habits, and friends who totally get you. Some results will feel like a proud throwback, and others might make you wonder why you ever stopped wearing that jacket. Grab your best friend and see whose sound they match.
