New Balance is in. OP is unc.

New Balances with the dad jeans is trendy-unc. The comeback was at its peak around a decade ago, maybe a bit less.

White socks with the sandals were very trendy just a while ago as well though. I'd say the author of that site is definitely unc.

Kind of doesn't work because lots of these are gen z/alpha. They feel relieved when plans get cancelled, they cancel things day of. The should have been a few youth tells in there to trip us up instead of any tick being an unc score.

20 unc / 80 youth

Are you 20? I got 35 unc which is a few points less than my IRL age.

I'm curious at what (if any) age the mean score skews to greater than age in years. I expect there are multiple brackets, the very young won't check off many at all but by some of the entries are sufficiently niche that when an octogenarian takes the test they won't hit more than 80% of the options.

All the children here wear fanny packs and have been for almost a year. Same vein.

The nice thing about aging is at some point you get to laugh about all the stupid and cringey things the next younger generation did.

Maybe clicking that button unlocks an even higher unc tier.
