You're random. There's no such thing as a straight mood at any time throughout your life. Maybe you're bipolar, maybe you have mood swings up to the max, or maybe you just like a constant change of pace. Life is boring if it's the same bowl of cereal every day is your mindset. I like that about you! Good for you!

Your entire life is Tony Hawk revitalized. Anything you can grind on, you will. You probably own a million pairs of Soap shoes. Maybe you liked Sonic Adventure 2 as your favorite childhood game. Maybe you collect skateboards, maybe you like roller skating? The one thing I can maybe definitely say is that you've always got your favorite headphones with you, and you never leave without them.

WTF is cheshcore -

OHHH. It's a Madness thing, huh?


Okay, this is easy. You're a Madness fan. High respect - you've probably been a fan since the first episode. You rejoined FNF the moment the Tricky mod came out and sometimes still listen to it on occasion. Maybe you've been a fan of the game since Hank was teased as a playable character, or like the mods based on him. Or maybe you disliked the mods because of how non-traditional to the source material it is. Or maybe you're one of those fans that genuinely does not care one way or the other and just enjoys anything Madness themed. You must be one of those people that has OCs or fanlore or something because this is wayyyy too specific not to guess. Anyway, huge respect! I personally find the series O.K. in terms of like NG stuff - I much prefer Tankman and Pico stuff - but you do you! Keep rocking it, Newgrounder!!

Damn, that's extremely specific for that one. You're introverted, but you love going to parties to see other people having fun. You're at raves, love a good drink and smoke, and are just chill most of the time. However, you seem to be the kinda person that would pick a fight from time to time. You're always willing to get in the direct line of fire if it means showing the others who's boss (and protecting your friends). You're surprisingly empathetic and often like listening to classical to get away from the edge a a while. Idfk I could be making shit upp

You like the more interesting and morbid parts of life. Maybe this is a rather stupid throwaway guess, but you probably had a history of watching true crime documentaries or things other people would look at you and go "are you psychotic" for. Don't worry - you're not that at all, you just merely appreciate the more...unique aspects in life. You laugh in the face of the goths and the punks like Simba in the elephant graveyard and you give absolutely no fucks.

Depending on your definition of interesing/morbid, sure. I've never been interested in true crime or anything crime related as I always found it boring, no particular reason. I've been called not-fun-at-parties (which is true), but not psychotic/crazy for my interests. I don't know how to interpret laughing in the face of goths and punks, or why specifically in their face.


Again - don't count on me for an accurate reading. I got most of these wrong LMAOOO. well I tried womp womp

Hello new best friend, because our music tastes are in sync!!

You have a great appreciation for the arts and are a huge film nerd. You might not have any posters in your room for fear of looking "uncleanly" but when you do decorate your room, you have meaningful things that symbolize quite a bit to you. You tend to be rather quiet with strangers but with your friends, you talk their ears off. You enjoy great food, music, games, sports, and conversation, and are always looking for new opportunities to make friends wherever you roam.


Heello! ;)


Some of it you got! I have a huge appreciation for the arts, as an Artist / animator for over 20 years. We (wife, son and I) have posters in most rooms. Our living room. Has two large Jim Lee Batman posters, a bat girl, wonder woman poster and an Arkham City batarang on the walls. I have a poster of the first ever Hans Zimmer Live concert in my studio office. The house is littered with nostalgic memorabilia, Batman, TMNT, supernatural, Disney, back to the future...XD


Due to my job, I have to be quite loud around strangers, as I educate classes in Uni as big as 150 students, on vfx, games, animation, art, etc. Due to my age, and nature I have very few close friends because I grew up with a very strong drive in visual and audio creativity - which continues.


Although I present among hundreds, regularly, I'm quite a geek cliche, with keeping myself to myself, and quite like it that way as I don't go out very much. I'd rather make some art / audio / learn something new than go to a bar. Due to my age (41), career development and financial sustainability / growth for my wife and child I'm quite driven to excessive amounts of work.


So you got some right! ;) which is great from just musical taste!

I'm even amazed I got some of it right...thank you so much for your response, Evil Raccoon! (Or should I call you Rocket? Lol) It was fun to guess since music is more widely varied. I do have some other similar threads on Sonic and Pico/FNF characters if you're interested in those as well. Probably gonna do one for video game music since that's more my style - I could not for the life of me guess all the NuMetal and other metal guys lol

I've got an extremly diverse palette based off of many years of both exploring all sorts of various genre's every single day both for enjoyment, but also for dissecting every single element of what I'm hearing to learn from (and utilise in my own composing later on). Tends to be why I like leaning towards some pretty wild & maximalist approaches to most of my own projects.


It's incredibly difficult to narrow anything down to a single favourite, so I'm going to go ahead and dump a 10-favourite genre's instead (and any mentioned sub-genre's in brackets alongside it):


  • Orchestral Sonorism (i.e. Penderecki, Stockhausen, Scelsi, Ligeti etc.)
  • 20th/21st Century 'Classical' (Contemporary, Film and Video-Games)
  • Black Metal (especially Avant-Garde & Symphonic variants)
  • Doom Metal (mainly Black-Doom and Death-Doom variants)
  • Dark Ambient
  • Berlin School
  • Witch House
  • Trashwave/decaycore/Witchrave
  • Electro-Industrial
  • Dark Jazz (+ small variants like Noir Jazz, Doom Jazz etc.)

You're a dancer. I don't mean the ballet kind, no. Anytime something hard, you're immediately in the middle, breaking down on the dance floor. You lead the best DJ mixes with your flow and have great cardio. You choose not to sing to be a public embarrassment, but probably sing in the shower anyways. You enjoy stuff from the 90s like Koolaid and Sonic the Hedgehog in Honey Nut Cheerios cereal boxes. Always in the mood for Poptarts, and trust me, I can relate.


Dang pretty much all of it is spot on! I’m a freaking diabetic and I STILL always feel like eating Poptarts lol


you guys like my tunes?

BBS Signature

You Know honestly--I don't feel I have one. Grew up with a military Father who loved everything--he was particular to like, Let's say, Aretha Franklin, bult loved Bluegrass, Kansas, Doobie Brothers and jazz. He had a huge LP collection as well. So as an an adult, I find myself listening to all kinds of music--my motto, if it grooves it moves. One of my fave soudntracks is O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU along side PURPLE RAIN. I guess I would say I just love music, even modern music, as I find all that Back In My Day nonsense insane and predictable;. There is good and bad music form all eras.


I’ll listen to almost anything, but if I had to have a favourite it’d be acid/fusion jazz idk what it is about it but my god the general chord progression has my soul


Electronic

Idk the specific genre but i love the acid notation stuff

But i also love Dj-Nate WaterFlame or F-777

Basically geometry stuff tbh

Electronic beats like those from tee lopes in sonic mania, a fun and welcoming vibe!


I also like DBS Broly's electronic ost. The sense of danger and the excitement of the fights are very well conveyed

Holy shit...that's a lotta stuff...! Hmm...well, I can say for sure you are a music enjoyer. You also might be a musician opening themselves up broadly to new genres. You take inspiration from these genres for your own work, so it only makes sense that you open yourself up to a lot of new things. You don't like being confined to a bubble - you're fine floating around the musical world in your own special way. Techno house one day, orchestral the next, you shake it up no matter where you go. You always seem to have a bundle of knowledge you're able to spit to any willing person and you enjoy trivia games. Idk if this is right looool

You're true Gen Z. You appreciate classical music from your education and possibly from band/orchestra. You enjoy ambient music as you work and go through your day to day, especially with these strange times post-covid. And of course, nostalgia leads you to your enjoyment of 2012 electro where you feel like a teen again listening to Bangarang by Skrillex. You're probably quiet out of most of your friend group and don't go out of your way to talk to people - you'd rather focus that energy into art or science, and that's cool!

You're probably from someplace with a black heavy population like Chicago or Brooklyn. You don't mind those that pump their speakers out on the streets and you're pretty street smart. You have a lot of ethnic friends and people from all kindsa places. Everyone always knows you for that speaker you carry around. Maybe you shoot hoops or do graffiti art, or watch people doing those activities. If there's one thing you keep with you - its your sense, style, and smooth grooves. Keep at it!

You always feel older than you are. You find the good in every era of music ever made - from the ancient songs of the Greeks to the modern Skibidi bops of the Alpha Gen kids. You're insanely tolerant of people around you, and you put up with no shit from anybody. You may look quiet and awkward, but all it takes is one stare and nobody fucks with you. You enjoy a good drink and even better conversation, which makes sense considering your openness for music. You probably drive people crazy with your obscure yet hella good recommendations for restaurants, movies and other events. You love reading history books, no matter what kind it is - because there's no humanity without knowledge. You've probably traveled the world, too, or are planning to.
