You are New Wave!You probably wear your own special style of clothing with either a lot of colors or a lot of improvising.You like many different styles of music and you probably have a bright look on life. Take this quiz!
How Can Anybody Posibly Know How I Feel - Morrissey I belive you for world peace. Since this song is about war and how the big guy crushes the other one that doesent deserve it at all. So you mostlikely have a little hippy in your vains.-This song is so great and stands for such a great thing.- He said he wants to befriend mewhich meanshe can't possibly know methe voices of the realand the imagined cry:"the future is passing you bythe future is passing you by."so how can anybody possibly think theyknow how I feel? Take this quiz!
The Darkest Star - Depeche ModeYour a little diffrent from most people not that you have to be like goth or emo or anything like that. Just different in your own way. You are an outsider. Even though you have a whole lot of friends youre allways a little bit away from the group. You just want that special someone in your life. Someone who loves you and doesent want to change a thing about you. Not a single thing. Someone who thinks your perfect just the way you are.-Such a sweet song. Just makes you want that person!-I don't want you to change anything you doI don't want you to be someone else for meOh you dark oneEternal outsiderCaught in the spider's web you've spun Take this quiz!
Asleep - The SmithsYou are sooo tierd. You just want to go to sleep an hopefully never wake up. I am NOT in favor of scuicide but this song is a classy depressed song. Its not really that you arent happy, its just that you are tierd nothing else.-Such a classy depression like all morrisays songs-Sing me to sleepAnd then leave me aloneDon't try to wake me in the morning'Cause I will be goneDon't feel bad for meI want you to knowDeep in the cell of my heart Take this quiz!
Love Will Tear us Appart. You're fond of love, but love turns you down. All your life you've been suffering from love. But you're a dreamer, you keep loving because it's your living. Take this quiz!
You're a Post-Punk. You know 70s punk was cool, but it was mostly just a stepping stone for the greater intellectualism of what would come after. The 80s were amazing. You quite possibly have huge hair, and may wear lots of black. Snare drums need reverb. Lots and lots of reverb. Take this quiz!
You're Monster. You Have No Fear At All And Will Dare To Do Anything, No Matter How Crazy It Is. You Like Showing Everyone Your Fearlessness, And You Sure Do Get Praise For It. You Always Are Risking Your Health Or Even Life. Take this quiz!
You are "Kalidescope". You are unique and creative to boot, but if anyone calls you weird, kick 'em square in the ass because you'll be a revolutionary some years later. Take this quiz!
