All Quiz Results

Cottagecore

You belong to soft fields, worn paperbacks, and teacups that never match. Your aesthetic is about slowing down and savoring the cozy details. Bread baking, hand-stitched linens, and moss between your toes. People sometimes mistake your vibe for fragile, but you are more resilient than you look, grounded, stubborn, and patient. At your best, you remind others that joy can live in the simplest rituals.

Dark Academia

You thrive in dim libraries, half-finished coffee, and long conversations about books no one else has read. Your aesthetic lives in shadows, autumn leaves, and the tension between beauty and melancholy. There is a weight to you, but also a quiet kind of magnetism that makes people lean in.

Light Academia

You crave warmth, sunlight through windows, and the inspiration of a perfectly sharpened pencil. Your aesthetic is thoughtful but optimistic, finding wonder in study sessions, classical music, and daydreams. You balance intellect with joy, refusing to let life become too heavy. At your core, you remind others that curiosity can be a form of love.

Y2K / Retro Internet

You are glossy, playful, and unapologetically nostalgic for an era of flip phones, glittery graphics, and questionable low-rise jeans. Your aesthetic thrives on bubblegum colors, futurism, and ironic sincerity. You are chaotic but charming, never afraid of clashing trends or loud accessories. Some people might underestimate you, but there is something bold about owning an aesthetic that refuses subtlety.

E-Girl / E-Boy

You live online as much as offline, and your aesthetic is built on eyeliner, headphones, and curated chaos. You are sharp-edged but soft inside, broadcasting vulnerability through memes, selfies, and playlists. There is rebellion in you, but it is also about finding community in the real world and online. People may call it performative, but you know it is just another way of being real.

Indie Sleaze

You are the human version of a flash photo at 2AM. Blurry, unfiltered, and a little messy. Your aesthetic is raw energy, thrifted clothes, and a sort of cool that never went out of style. You thrive on imperfection and bad decisions that somehow feel iconic. People do not always get it, but that is part of the point. You simply do not care.

Minimalist / Clean Girl

You are polished, intentional, and effortlessly put-together, or at least you make it look that way. Your aesthetic is beige tones, slick buns, and carefully chosen neutrals. It is not about having nothing, it is about having only what matters. You radiate discipline, but there is softness underneath, the part of you that just wants life to feel simple and manageable.

Maximalist / Cluttercore

You are an explosion of color, pattern, and personality, with zero interest in dialing it back. Your aesthetic thrives on "too much," layered decor, chaotic collages, and a closet that is half costume trunk. You find beauty in contradictions, and your life is proof that joy can be loud. People might call it overwhelming, but you know it is just unapologetically you.

Grunge / Alt Rock

You are ripped jeans, chipped nail polish, and songs that sound better when they are played too loud. Your aesthetic is about grit and survival, about finding meaning in the cracks and the noise. You have an edge, but there is vulnerability hidden under the distortion. People may think you are all about rebellion, but really you just want authenticity in a world that feels fake.

Fairycore / Whimsical

You live with one foot in reality and the other in a pastel dreamscape. Your aesthetic is flower crowns, glitter, and the magic of small, beautiful things. You bring softness wherever you go, but there is steel in you too, the kind of strength that looks like wonder. People see you as ethereal, but you know whimsy can be its own kind of rebellion.

Goblincore

You thrive in mossy corners, cluttered collections, and the beauty of things most people overlook. Your aesthetic is earthy, tactile, a little muddy. It's the joy of trinkets, mushrooms, and cozy chaos. You reject polish in favor of honesty, and it makes you magnetic. Some people might call you strange, but you know strangeness is just another word for freedom.

Cyberpunk / Futuristic

You are neon, chrome, and midnight in a city that never sleeps. Your aesthetic thrives on speed, tech, and the paradox of being human in a machine-driven world. You are always chasing the edge of possibility, even if it is messy. People look at your vibe and see dystopia, but you know it is just survival with style.
