tag yourself as movements in classical music
Medieval: often ignored, shy, secretly gay, likes to stay in the same place all the time, dreams of being a monk
Renaissance: loves to dance, likes fancy things (but not too fancy), nobody else could pick them out in a crowd but everyone is friendly to them
Baroque: very particular about everything, draws immensely detailed doodles, gets super side-tracked on pointless tangents, everyone's distracted dad friend
Classical: very neat bedroom, makes bad puns constantly, has a 9-5 job, everyone's helpful but slightly exasperated mom friend
Romantic: can never make up their mind about anything, gets shivers when they go to art museums, cries a lot (and you'll know about it), sad bisexual (TM)
Impressionist: super gay, loves music that isn't in their native language, cries easily, just wants to have a good time
Early Modernist: just like Romantic but also does drugs and is afraid of but also super interested in sex
Serialist: angry at everything, "you don't understand my torment", probably a communist
Neoclassical: wants to be just like classical but has never gone to sleep before 1AM, keeps a very neat bedroom except for a single massive pile of clothes in the closet they refuse to acknowledge, occasionally steals Renaissance's hoodies
Total Serialist: 500% angrier than serialist and proud of it, has never had fun, has probably killed someone
Academic Avant-Garde: has never done the same thing twice, trusts nobody else, has an on-again-off-again relationship with total serialism
Minimalism: loves technology, still wears Google Glass and the Apple Watch, meditates for fun, trying to learn Hindi (and horribly failing), often incomprehensible to everyone else but is actually super friendly
Polystylism: originator of the term "pastel grunge", wears immensely clashing outfits, steals everyone's looks, memes
“I’m not everything I want to be, but I’m more than I was, and I’m still learning.”

“Art is how we decorate space. Music is how we decorate time.”
