What band from the 80s are you?
You're all about the music. Not too incredibly mainstream, but not too incredibly underground. It's awfully hard for anyone to oppose you, seeing as how you rule.
Take this quiz !
I am that which is. You are that which is. We are all exactly and perfectly that which is.
