💿 Which Record Store Section Are You?

Every record store has that one section you drift toward before you even notice you've walked in. Maybe your feet go straight to the dusty bins by the register, or maybe you lose twenty minutes in the back corner hunting for a soundtrack pressing you swore you'd seen last Tuesday. This quiz looks at how you shop, what you reach for first, and how you react when a stranger judges your pick.

Answer ten questions about crates, mixtapes, and the awkward moments at the counter. At the end you'll land on one of five store sections, each with its own personality, from the loud and loyal to the cheap-and-cheerful. Grab your imaginary wallet and let's see where you belong.
