I'm liking this - obviously has something of a US slant, but it's not hard to find local equivalents.

This is lame, the vinyl question puts me into the hundreds by itself.

Got all the way down to the Pete & Pete question, realized that I a) knew the name of the band that did the theme song was Polaris and b) that I actively searched for recordings by them (though never found, but it was when I lived in the sticks).

I must now go fall on a sword.

I can't believe one person wrote that whole thing. They must do a lot of speed (10 points).

196

Hey, small world. Pete Bejarano is my cousin. I remember him telling me about this a few years back. I think he wrote it while working for the UCSD radio station.

And, no, I don't think he was on speed.....Pixie sticks maybe?

I'm around 400... wicked socal centric.

You were ever drunk or high at a straight-edge show (10 points)

I should've gotten more points for this as I was performing both drunk AND high at a straight-edge show.

I got 262. I got 75 points alone on the musician one (add 5 for each non-standard-rock instrument x mandolin, synthesizers, accordion, saxomophone, electric piano, and melodica - if I had counted 5 points for each individual synth I own it woulda been 3 digits).

100 points for having seen NMH??

The Wesley Willis headbut put me over the edge.

103. Apparently I suck.

915 BUT only because i worked at that radio station (it's the worst radio station in the world all things considered).

that thing is way too fuckin long and doesn't even tally yr points for you! Therefore me = too lazy to be a scenester.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Gygax, did your radio show have "emo" in the description???

― LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Thursday, 18 March 2004 02:00 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, no... it was the embarrassingly poorly named "signal to noise" program.

I lose for liking blink 182, (but I like them "ironicly"?)

― A Nairn (moretap), Thursday, 18 March 2004 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I got bored about halfway in but I think the only things I scored points on were having bad skin, being in a band and owning a synth.

― ferg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 March 2004 05:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I was doing ok but also lost all my points for liking Blink-182. Does that make me a bad person?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 18 March 2004 11:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I got 25! Hooray!

Know what EBM is (10 points)

What, my blog is for scenesters now? (Joke)

24. these tests are clearly not meant for me.

― tod (tod), Thursday, 18 March 2004 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

1400-1600 points = You ARE the scene (as much as one mortal scenester can be). Besides probably being in a band or at least "the fifth member," you probably were a sidenote to scene history. Definitely dated a major scene band member or were friends with one. The other option is you rob banks or are ultra-rich and spend the money being as scene as possible. You call distributors just to find out what is going out of print. Maybe you are a CMJ company rep.

Yay me!

Something like 50-60. Lost lots of points because I've seen stadium shows and like Blink 182 unironically.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 18 March 2004 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

i got 1740 points but that because i buy a lot of expensive records and also sell them (without listening to them)
