Boyzone, et al. are Boy Bands, and NONE of the British Invasion groups were.

And FTR: The term, for whatever reason, was not applied to Soul groups, including the J5, Temps, 4 Tops, etc.

I think the market for boy bands is teenage girls exclusively. The Jackson 5 were popular with everybody.

Remember when Myspace was the only social media platform you needed to worry about? Ah, those were the days. From emo and tracksuits, to Uggs, skinny jeans, and everything in between... There was a lot happening in the aughts. You definitely belong in the 21st century.

Not sure why. Emo, uggs, and skinny jeans are definitely not my thing. Probably because I picked the modern cell phone.

All those shoes sucked, music choices didn't include The Charleston, there weren't any Three Stooges movies in the movie choices, TV shows didn't include Soupy Sales or Star Trek, and so on.

I guess that's why it stuck me in the 60's instead of the eclectic citizen of all decades that I am.

these days I've developed a real "thing" for the music of the 1920s and 1930s. Can't get enough of it! Go figure.

I must have had a previous life in the 20s.

Ima 'Causasian'(whaaat?) chick, but I sooo love Smooth R'n'B and Classic Old School.
Certain genres of music do it for me. Remember seeing Dave Brubeck in concert in CT in the 70's and it was crazy man!
Certain stuff turns me off. Like opera and this modern day so-called country.
I studied strictly ballet from 5 to 15 yrs. old. My instructor wanted for me to go pro (NY) and I said nah. I don't regret it.
From ballet classics to hip-hop and rhythm and blues, compute that! 😄

I replied 70s earlier today. Got your response just a bit ago and decided to take the quiz - which I had not done yet.
And guess what, man?
'70s BABY. OH YEAH! In short shorts!

Disco, Star Wars, Mary Tyler Moore, roller skates, and the progressiveness of Roe v. Wade and the gay rights movement. You're determined to fight to make the world a better place... In really short shorts.

I went to high school just a few blocks from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, back before it became famous (early 1960s)

1966-1967 Haight Street was hippies, flower children, good vibes, love, pot smoke in the air, & free concerts by bands like The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, Moby Grape, The Charlatans, Big Brother, Steve Miller (I could go on)

By 1968, Haight Street had turned into junkies, speed freaks, panhandlers, tour buses, and truly crazy people (who were not crazy in a good way)

But I'd love to go back to the '60s!

I must be one of the few that got the 90s. I actually came of age in the early 80s but had a lot of fun in the 1990s. Loved me some Bill Clinton back in the day lol. Btw, mullets were hideous and I think Billy Ray Cyrus still wears one.

You are a Gen-Xer at heart. Bring on the flannel, Spice Girls, grunge, a saxophone-playing President, but most importantly Lisa Frank.

In reality, I'm a baby boomer. I'll be 71 next week!
Only thing it got right is I'm a Clinton fan.
