High school labels are everywhere - even if you pretend you don’t care about them. Jock. Nerd. Goth. Prep. Normie. They sound like stereotypes pulled straight out of a teen movie, but somehow… they still kind of fit. Whether you love labels, hate them, or swear you’re “above all that,” the truth is we all move through the world with a certain vibe. And that vibe says more about you than your outfit ever could.

This quiz isn’t about judging you or forcing you into a box. It’s about figuring out which box you secretly already live in. Because let’s be honest: the jock energy shows when you thrive on competition and confidence. The nerd energy pops up when curiosity and obsession take over your brain at 2 a.m. Goth energy leaks out when you feel everything too deeply and romanticize the darkness. Prep energy is obvious when you love structure, aesthetics, and having your life together (or at least looking like you do). And normie? That’s not an insult - it’s the peaceful middle ground where you just want to live your life without the drama.

Subcultures aren’t costumes you put on for attention. They’re patterns. The way you react to stress. The things that comfort you. How you spend your free time. The kind of people you gravitate toward. Some people fully commit to one identity. Others bounce between them depending on the day, the mood, or the phase of life they’re in. And that’s totally fine.

This test leans into personality, not clichés. It asks the kinds of questions that reveal how you think, what you value, and what kind of energy you bring into a room. Are you loud or observant? Competitive or creative? Emotionally intense or chill to the point of confusion? Do you crave recognition, knowledge, beauty, depth - or just a peaceful, drama-free existence?

Answer honestly. Don’t pick what sounds coolest. Pick what feels real. Because whether you’re a full-on goth with a poetic soul, a nerd with a million tabs open, a jock chasing adrenaline, a prep planning your future, or a normie vibing quietly in the background - your subculture says something about how you move through the world.

Let’s find out where you actually belong.

Hi, quiz lovers! I'm Ana, and I can't imagine my morning coffee without scrolling new quizzes. So I started writing them. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity." I'm sure that curiosity is our most powerful tool to learn the world around us and inside us. And quizzes are the most curious way to learn a bit of everything. So don't waste your time.
