Here's mine...

Based on your taste in music you are

50 years old!

You've got your own taste in music and know exactly what you like and dislike. You hate following trends just for the sake of it, but are still always looking for good new music that you like, even if the masses don't. So, did we get it right?



Actually, I'm 55.

[femmocrat]

1. I also got 50, even though most of my answers were about the Beatles.

LOL

[Trajan]

2. I'm nearly 60 ...

I'm sure I'll measure at about 30 ...

EDIT: I guess everybody is 50?

[elleng]

3. 62,

and actually I'm OLDER! open-minded and would rather listen to a real classic

[Scuba]

49. Same here.

[elleng]

50. HEY, Scuba!

[Scuba]

52. Hey elleng.

[seveneyes]

4. Age is relative, time is endless ...

[Joe Shlabotnik]

6. great tune

I scored age 62. Quiz. makes. no. sense.

[seveneyes]

7. The quiz is lame but real music is forever...and besides, why take the pain

[mackerel]

47. Now that's music

[Downwinder]

5. There WERE bands before the Beatles.

[csziggy]

8. They hit it right on the nose! 62.

Though in three weeks that number will change...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. None of those questions are relevant to my interest in music

because I listen to classical music almost exclusively. I don't know how old that makes me. 300?

[Snobblevitch]

13. I didn't answer a single question

where I actually believed the answer I was supplying. I don't listen to current music and haven't for many years. The music on my iPod ranges from the 60s to the 80s with some classical and other non-chart music. Plus, I am not a frequent listener to music anyway.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. Same here. It added 13 years to my age.

Worst.Online.Thingamagiggy.Test.Ever.

[Snobblevitch]

19. It only added nine years to me.

As I am writing this I have the jazz channel on from Comcast and I only turn that on about once a month.

[WinkyDink]

10. Ha! Knocked 30 years off my age!

[UTUSN]

11. Uh, circa TCHAIKOVSKY. Oh, there's a quiz!1 Back later/soon with results.

On Edit (after the quiz) : !1 ***************** I KNEW IT!1 ******** :

I'm not really *ANCIENT!1 (68), I'm actually:

*******QUOTE*******
35 years old!

You're a confident, independent person and know exactly what you like. You tend to listen to music whenever you get the chance and, no matter how your friends might try, you still think that the music of your youth is the best there has ever been. So, did we get it right?

******UNQUOTE*****

[hay rick]

12. 35???

I'm about to double that. Must have been the Justin Timberlake lyric choice that catapulted me out of my age cohort.

[UTUSN]

14. What, we're *all* 35!1 I *LUERVE* this quiz!1 n/t1

[Generic Brad]

21. Me too!

I'm young again. Young again, I tell you.

[Phentex]

15. 16!

Even after choosing the Jackson five?!

[RebelOne]

16. 62 years old! Nope, 1 am 76 years old. I prefer '70s music.

62 years old!
You're very open-minded and will happily try anything once, but when you have made your mind up on something, it's quite hard for anyone to try and change it. While you try your best with music of the younger generation, you really would rather listen to a real classic than any of the chart music that's being played everywhere today. So, did we get it right?

[LiberalElite]

18. Good I'm younger now -

62 years old!

[IrishEyes]

20. I got 16

They were off by quite a few years.

[Phentex]

24. Yeah, considering my youngest is 18...

they missed me by a mile!

[IrishEyes]

43. I took the test again and it said 50.

Averaging the 16 and 50 scores comes to closer to my actually age.

[logosoco]

22. I got 62 and I'm 50

I think that is fitting. I would have graduated in 1983 (but I got my GED in 1981). I was not big into the music at the time, I was still listening to music from the 60s and 70s. I did pick up some favorites from the 2000s and I am finding some from now that I like a lot.

The "when do you listen to music the most" question was odd. I listen pretty much all the time, no matter the mood or the place. I am dearly in love with my iPod and it takes up way, way less space than my album collection!!!!!

[struggle4progress]

23. They think I'm an old fart

I don't need to listen to people like that!

[bigwillq]

25. It said 35. I am 37.

[treestar]

26. 7 years older than I actually am.

I've found a lot of music new to me that is old objectively.

[raccoon]

27. It said I was 50 also. I'm older than that. nt

[Tom_Foolery]

28. 62...

I'm 54.

[Coventina]

29. That quiz was garbage. I was just picking the best of the worst.

I got 50, but I'm younger than that.

[Avalux]

30. Horrible quiz. I hated all of the choices. n/t

[Xyzse]

31. Hmmm, pretty accurate for me.

----
Given the very limited selection and none of the questions given could really apply to me, I answered accordingly. I don't really listen to much of the given options.

[kentauros]

32. Like many such quizzes, I wanted to say "None of the Above"

to most of the questions. What? No World music? No Musique Concrete? No Polka?

And this is the finest vocalist currently, in my opinion. No, you won't hear her on corporate radio stations, and that's just fine with me

[mainer]

33. HOLY COW. It got my age exactly

The very year!

[Glassunion]

34. They were close...

I got 35... I'm 40.

[KamaAina]

35. Mom's age

[BarbaRosa]

36. Missed by two years, said I was younger.

It guessed 62 and Im 64. I'll take it.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

37. 62...

but I'm only 45

sP

[murielm99]

38. Mine said 50.

I am 66.

[cyberswede]

39. I couldn't get past question 2...no choices there worked for me.

[Prism]

40. 35!

Missed it by two months.

But seriously, all of those answers were stupid. I didn't listen to any of those people. I simply answered based on whether or not I knew who they were.

[DFW]

41. My favorites are:

Irish and Russian folk music. I'm 160 years old.

[seveneyes]

42. Age and taste only sweeten with time

[Jamaal510]

44. I'm 25, but am 35 based on my taste in music:

I have a ton of old school/underground rap and R&B on my iPod, with some metal, jazz, classical, electronic, and reggae mixed in.

P.S. On the "John" question, I would've chose either Lil Jon or John Legend if they were available. Also I don't have a J5 song, but I do have several songs from Michael Jackson himself.

[cemaphonic]

45. What a goddam stupid quiz

Even by the standards of online clickbait quizzes.

How is it supposed to guess my age based on my choice in metaphors, and how come Mississippi John Hurt is not a choice for the Johns question (or even Jon Bon Jovi - as usual, Gen X pop culture gets totally skipped over for most of those questions).

[mackerel]

46. I was thinking the same thing! Stupidest questions ever!

[ProfessorGAC]

56. Me Three! (n/t)

[CBGLuthier]

48. I like IDM, Benny Goodman, Holst, Beethoven, Ambient Noise Music, Tomita

What does taste in music have to do with age? I pity anyone and everyone who only listens to the music that was popular when they were teenagers.

[cantbeserious]

51. 50 Here - Real Age 58

eom

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

53. I was hoping for choices like J.S. Bach

The questions about jazz were the only ones that got me interested. Most of the questions had artists I felt lukewarm about at best. I'm 65 years old but the quiz said 50, so I guess I'm younger than I thought, even though the quiz choices didn't really reflect my tastes. If they had, I'd probably be well over 100.

[chknltl]

54. Not even close, 16 was 44 years ago for me. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

55. I Got "50"

I'm about to turn 59.

But, geez the questions are so limiting. Who do i think of when i hear "john"? Dumb

[AngryOldDem]

58. So did I.

And I agree. The answers I gave pretty much guaranteed where I would fall, I thought. (I'll be 55 in about a month.)

[Angry Dragon]

57. it said I was as old as dirt

[Laffy Kat]

59. Harrumph! It had me seven years older that I really am.

It was probably the jazz question that did me in.

[seveneyes]

60. Music is just god particles touching you in the right places ...

[seveneyes]

61. Too old to know better, to young to care

[Skittles]

62. missed by 23 years

but it did think I was younger

[Nitram]

63. I'm 63 but I got 35. Go figure.

[Nitram]

64. I suspect most of these quizzes actually only use two or three of the responses

[hifiguy]

65. 62. Weird questions.

I am in my late fifties and love a lot of EDM, chill, trance and electronica as well as classical music, bop and post bop jazz, electric English folk and classic/neo-classic prog. Though the Beatles were my touchstone band.

Some eternal faves

Ryuichi looked like a young god in those days. The dancing keyboard player stage left rear is his then wife Akiko Yano. I thought all electric music would sound like this one day.

Not Sandy Denny, but damn fine, and the lads still tear it up but good.

[mike dub]

66. I'm 43, but I got "50"!
