Go To High School For A Day, And We'll Reveal Which Gen X Icon You Are

Quiz: Which Gen X Icon Are You?

This Quiz Will Reveal Which Gen X Icon You Are

Which class is the highlight of your day?

The seniors are voting on superlatives. Which one do you want to win?

Finally, there's a pep rally after school. Are you going?

You have serious "girl next door" energy and bring out the romantic in everyone around you. While you've always known that you were destined for great things, you've also struggled with getting typecast and feeling limited by the general public's idea of you. You've been playing by the rules your whole life because it's important to you to be a good role model, but you're also extremely protective of the life you've created for yourself.

Molly Ringwald

You cultivate an air of mystery wherever you go. You can't help it! Everyone loves to write you off as "quirky" or "weird," but it's really just because they're intimidated by your innate charisma. You identify strongly as an outsider in any group, but that perspective is what draws people to you. They feel like you ~get~ them, and that's why they'll be loyal to you for life.

Winona Ryder

You're a natural leader and an idealist through and through. Whether you want them to or not, people look up to you because of the way you hold fast to your beliefs and values. For you, there's no separation between "work" and "art" — you have such a deeply creative soul that, to you, they're one and the same.

Kurt Cobain

You have an extremely self-deprecating sense of humor and don't take things like fame, power, or even growing up too seriously. It's given you this rep for being an all-around wholesome dude, and everyone feels like they can count on you as a friend and as a cool older bro type of figure in their lives.

Tony Hawk

People know you as the jokester of the group, but it's more than that — you're also one of the hardest-working people around. You're endlessly adaptable and always looking for new projects and creative outlets because you're obsessed with playing the long game in your career. That said, people looooove gossiping about your personal life, and that's often detracted from your extremely prolific body of work. For that reason, you've probably felt the impulse to retreat from the spotlight — you've just been burned too many times.

Eddie Murphy

Your reputation as a diva precedes you, but it's all because you're a total perfectionist. You have extremely high standards for yourself and everyone around you. That's not to say you don't enjoy your success, though — you firmly believe life is meant to be lived out loud. That's why you love to let your maximalist personality shine, through your taste for the finer things in life and your penchant for making an over-the-top entrance wherever you go.
