0-40 points - ‘Definitely Not’ - Congratulations, you are not a music snob! You don’t give a toss about the stuff you listen to, if you like it, you’re not afraid to make it known to the world. You can actually enjoy most music, which means you’re probably not an annoying grunge bag. Conversely, you have just found out your whole cool, musically endowed persona is based on a web of lies, in which case, time to find a new uni stereotype to mould yourself into.
40-75 points - ‘Kind of...’ You have a wide array of music taste, but there are some bands/ genres that are just not you. However, you do not pride yourself on being blessed with a holier than thou musical mind. You just sort of get on with it, and if you’re in Flares you cannot stop yourself from singing along to Dancing Queen or re-enacting the dance moves to Cha Cha Slide
75+ points - ‘Music Snob’ - Well there you go; you are a music snob. Happy? If not that’s probably because you’re listening to Radiohead or have just heard your ‘uncool’ course mate rave about that band/ remix you thought only you knew about.
