All In Fun
According to this quiz that I took from Cul's place, these were my first results:

Okaaaay. I do love Tupac and a lot of other rap and hip hop music. I do think that for the most part, I am tough (except when I trip on the subway and fall apart like a little baby), but aside from a few cholas and vatos who used to watch my back in junior highschool and the kids that I sometimes hang out with now in Brooklyn, I never was glued into the "gangsta" subculture. It's true that I won't back down for anything and I will always stick by my friends. But I took the quiz again. I answered two questions only slightly differently. This time, it came up with this:
Which 1990's Subculture Do You Belong To?

For those who can't read it because of the idiotic black on grey combination, it says: "You belong to the punk subculture. You follow your own rules and won't listen to anyone who says you should change. You hate unfairness, bigots, the government, and authority. You're pissed off at the world." That's pretty accurate. Again, I never did belong to the mainstream punk "subculture," because I never felt it was necessary to conform to that appearance. Punk rock is in the heart. My dad the lawyer is punk. Punk to the core. You either are or you aren't and I think that deep down that music often reflects principles that I believe in. But you'd have to kill me to make me dress like that. It's good to be diverse. Some days I feel like I'm taking a punk rock approach to life. Some days I feel like I'm taking a quiet, more contemplative approach. And sometimes, I just feel like bouncing to some hip-hop. Right now, I feel like going home and cranking up the Op-Ivy.
