0-24 - poser! get out or be forced out.
25-44 - beginner. attend more shows, buy more records, you'll be fine.
45-74 - scenester. you've been around awhile and you know what's up, good job.
75 - or more - GOD! i bow to thee with your knowledge of everything hardcore
i scored a 23 and would like to say that i have never once shopped to look like the music i listen to, have never even so much as given a second look to a dude because of his outfit or would tolerate any of my friends having a conversation about their hair or shit like that in a musical context (however i do have a lot of gaymo friends and it is their progative to talk about that kinda shit b/c it is in the gay dna).
shouldn't there be points for drinking at cool pubs? for being knocked out at shows? for rampant drug/alcohol abuse? i mean my god when did rock and roll become so mega superficial? this might as well be in a teen magazine.
