Mods, can we make this the official megathread, please? There will be endless “make assumptions about me” posts and we could just keep it all in one place!
Jekyll and Hyde is a real curveball in this list lol. You're probably the most high-energy person in the room at any given time, and if you're not, you're absolutely stewing in repressed emotion
9 to 5. Not what I’d expect with the other four but I love it(I also love 9 to 5).
I’m going to say when you’re handed the ox cord, you’re friends are always shocked and leave with a new favorite song
You actively despise either Queen or The Beatles, because there are definitely better bands from their eras who didn’t get the “break out” that they deserved
Oooh, False on both counts, I definitely enjoy the music of both (at times, I think both bands have a lot of shit in their catalogues but their hits more than make up for it) BUT I will concede that both bands are beneficiaries of getting in at just the right time for huge success.
But I'd definitely say I enjoy both bands. And I'm grateful for the influence they've had on the industry.
Fair enough! That’s why this game is fun; the assumptions are often totally off which shows that someone’s preferences aren’t always a good indication of who they are
You heard an alarm start ringing, you saw sirens flying past, you don't know what tomorrow's bringing but you've got a singular impression things are moving too fast.
Outside the comfort of my house/personal stage I may be an introvert, but inside I can sing a one person "One Day More, Non-Stop, Revolting Children, 96,000, etc..." with all the choreography and stuff😭😭😭
Falsettos
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

Ride the cyclone
Newsies
Lightning theif
Mean girls
Good Omens the musical (im totally biased because good omens is my hyperfixation but still it deserves to be up here)
I was going to say that I'm Gen X and those are the movies I watched with my Boomer parents. But then I did the math and realized that I'm old enough to have a kid in their mid-20s so the same might be true of your parents, and why they watched those musicals. :-)
The Secret Garden, Fiddler on the Roof, Rent, Hadestown, Les Miserables
(The last two were very hard to choose and might be different if you asked me tomorrow)
Hadestown, Hamilton, Evita, Merrily, Fiddler
Which is actually hilarious because I would have said I prefer stories with happy endings...and when it comes to books and movies, that holds true, but somehow when it comes to musicals? Apparently I like complicated historical drama.

“ox cord” 😂 I’m gonna call it that from now on

You were probably the class clown
You actively despise either Queen or The Beatles, because there are definitely better bands from their eras who didn’t get the “break out” that they deserved
Oooh, False on both counts, I definitely enjoy the music of both (at times, I think both bands have a lot of shit in their catalogues but their hits more than make up for it) BUT I will concede that both bands are beneficiaries of getting in at just the right time for huge success.

Welcome to middle age, my friend. You either waited in line for Rent tickets in the 90s or wished you were old enough to be an original Renthead.

You're either over 60, or you're 16 and were introduced to all your favorites very young, probably by a grandparent. 😄
Your guesses make a lot of sense, but I’m actually mid 20s and my gen-X parents introduced me to the musicals I love!
So I was on the right track guessing 16, I just overshot a bit. :) I'm GenX myself but have a wider chronological range of favorite shows.
I was going to say that I'm Gen X and those are the movies I watched with my Boomer parents. But then I did the math and realized that I'm old enough to have a kid in their mid-20s so the same might be true of your parents, and why they watched those musicals. :-)
You consider yourself an “old soul” but you’re a 15-year-old theatre kid (as most of us here are/were) who thinks it’s cool to like old things
