If You're Over 21, You Won't Pass This Quiz

Hey, dolls! So it is quiz time again, except this time things are not so simple. What we have in store for you...are things only millennials and Gen-Z’ers are prepared for. Think you know all there is to know about the Internet? Or think you know the latest phone models, social media trends, Kardashian updates, and young stars? Think again! In this quiz, your pop culture and general information knowledge will be tested by, er, strange things like Stranger Things or by Rihanna’s latest beauty line or the latest ‘distracted boyfriend’ meme.

Do you remember which Kardashian sister released her own very famous and very profitable lip line? Can you tell which among the new rising stars are involved in the major upcoming X-Men film? Can you believe that Sophie Turner AKA Sansa of House Stark is getting married to Joe Jonas soon?! It also probably slipped your mind that Panic! At the Disco is, like, 13-years old already? Things like these slip our minds because time sure is going quite fast...and the Internet trends and latest scoops on popular artists is just breezing by us. But have you kept up, even if you aren’t in the ‘millennial’ or Gen X category? Or will you prove that if you are over 21, this quiz is something you would definitely fail? Take the test to find out!

Question 1

Who released the song Starboy?

Another hit song of the past year or so is called Starboy, which proved to satiate fans of this particular artist and fans of Daft Punk, who were also featured in the song. But Starboy is not just a catchy song, it is also somewhat the identity of the artist, because besides it being the album title, because Marvel is going to collaborate with the artist to make a comic book out of it! Now that just sounds a might marvelous.

Question 2

How many siblings does Kim Kardashian have?

You may be thinking: the Kardashians again? And this is only the first question! Well, let me tell you, the Kardashian clan really is a force to be reckoned with and a very pervasive element in both TV and social media. Looks like they are taking over the world, one cosmetic line and television show at a time. But hey, if you think you know the Kardashians, then this question will be easy peasy for you. But if you have never heard of them...er, you are probably something over 21. Worth a try to guess, though!

Question 3

Which among these names is not a young singer’s name?

You may know all about The Beatles, Johnny Cash, or David Bowie, but do you know this year’s hottest stars? You may have gotten past the Fall Out Boy or Paramore phase, too. Which means if any of the above mentioned was your teenage jam, you are probably too old to get in time with the tunes. But hey, the Internet is here to spread information to the world, so some or all of these names may be slightly familiar to you. Most of them are musical artists, except one, who is primarily a social media influencer/makeup guru!

Question 4

Who is the Turkish culinary artist that took early 2017 by storm?

If you have ever owned a phone, especially a Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr account, this guy would not have escaped your timeline or dashboard during the early part of 2017. At some point, he was everywhere; even if you turned off your phone he would have shown up on the local news too! Anyway, he is this chef from Turkey who sliced meat in a certain sensual way and sprinkled salt theatrically onto his meat cuts. That’s a nice cut of meat for you.

Question 5

On which social media platform did the dancing hotdog originate?

I don’t know about your 2017, but for part of my 2017, all I can see across numerous social media accounts and platforms and even news sites like BuzzFeed is a dancing hotdog with a happy face and earphones. I saw it on Facebook videos, I saw it on meme pages, and the mystery meat creature just won’t stop popping up. But before it spread like wildfire across everywhere, it started in a certain social media app as a filter.

Question 6

What is the well-loved sci-fi/comedy cartoon on Adult Swim created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon?

Everybody just can’t stop talking about this show! First, it deals with interesting questions about philosophy and existence, so there’s your demographic of existentialist people. Then there’s also those people who just love crazy dark-ish humor mixed with sci-fi, because that’s what this show is. If you have spotted a cartoon pickle with a face somewhere in your feed, then that’s from this show. So is the whole fiasco about a McDonald’s Szechuan sauce. This show is a barreling pop culture force.

Question 7

Which internet community collects Rare Pepes?

Pepe is a meme that has been around for quite a while, and you may (or may not, depending on how in you are) have seen him every now and then being shared and uploaded by a bunch of millennials, and you think to yourself: just what the hell is that thing? Because this green caricature of an animal (that looks like it was drawn on Paint) is strange, but also somewhat endearing and just the right touch of ironic. There’s lucky Pepe, there’s sad Pepe, there’s rare Pepe. Pepe is a legend, so you better know what he is!

Question 8

Which among these memes/trends is actually 10-years old (this 2017)?

Woah, woah, hold up: there are memes that are ten years old?! Don’t look too surprised, kid, because I just got the weirdest time-distortion feelings too. Yes, 10 years ago is indeed 2007, not 1997 or 1987. It’s weird ‘cause everything from the 2000s seems like just around 5 years ago right? But anyway, since we’re talking about time, one of these memes actually started out a decade ago. So if you know memes, you just have to know which one of these is the oldest. If you don’t know what a meme is, you will have a slight problem…

Question 9

Who is/was never part of Taylor Swift’s clique?

Everyone knows who Taylor Swift is, 21 and under or not. I mean, sure, who knows who she’s currently feuding with? Or how many albums she has released? What we do know is she has constantly been getting a lot of press attention for the last decade-ish, she knows how to swipe at her haters, and she sells. What not everyone might know is who’s in her squad. While all of them are ultra-popular females (and a Sir Patrick Stewart thrown in the mix), it just gets hard to keep track of names!

Question 10

When is Avengers: Infinity War coming out?

If you are a millennial, some things you might worry about are: how do I make delicious avocado toast, which meme should I post, how do I restore the economy (or drudge through the economy), and/or what’s the best way to achieve social justice. Oh, and when is the latest Avengers film gonna come out?! Because the latest Thor film just came out and the world is buzzing for Infinity War. You better get your pockets and eyes ready for that IMAX.

Question 11

What is a ‘selfie’?

As if we could not get enough of millennial slang with words like LOL or ‘AF’ or shook. Well, let us just say that the ‘selfie’ is a staple of the millennial generation. It is a way to boost self-esteem to show to the world just who and where you are, and to get those coveted likes on Facebook or retweets on Twitter. But what exactly is a selfie? Even I’m still caught up on the whole idea of it. Is it a support group? Or could it be motivational material?

Question 12

Who is the star of Spiderman: Homecoming?

Speaking of Marvel, they just released yet another reboot of the Spiderman franchise this year. And it was bloody amazing. Not to spoil on Tobey Maguire’s or Andrew Garfield’s Spiderman (Spidermen?), because they were great, but this new kid, this new face, he is spot on Peter Parker. And he fits the demographic too because he and his friends really look about like they’re 15 or something. Anyway, this new face has actually been in the scene since 2012, but his breakout role was in the Marvel franchise.

Question 13

Who among these is not part of the Stranger Things cast?

See, a lot of shows these days really have that laser focus on children and young people. That show Riverdale? About a bunch of teenagers. That horror film IT? It’s full of children. Heck, even Game of Thrones is a witness to many Stark kids growing up through its seven seasons. So this show Stranger Things also highlights adventures of, well, children. It’s pretty good. But if you aren’t good with faces and names, you might mistake one of these as part of the cast…

Question 14

Who is the highest paid actress of 2016?

If you are constantly attuned to the latest celebrity news (which is really unavoidable if you are on social media, if you think about it), then this would not be hard at all. But hey, the social media world is best maneuvered by someone 21 or younger right? So if you haven’t come across this news piece last year, then you aren’t on social media enough, probably. Anyway, one of these names is actually the name of the highest paid actress last year, raking in her millions.

Question 15

What is the slang term for ‘wrecked’?

Yeah, so the thing about the new language culture is that we are changing words and abbreviating them all the time. We use the word ‘literally’ to emphasize something even if it did not, in fact, happen literally. We say ‘OMG’ and ‘WTF’ and you go ‘what the hell does that stand for?’ We say ‘lit’ if we mean something to be awesome, or ‘on fleek’ to describe well-done eyebrows. But what do we now spell the new millennial ‘wrecked’?

Question 16

Which of these phone models came out in 2017?

Time seems to be flying so fast, particularly for phone companies, since they seem to be releasing a bunch of new models with all those new features or tweaks we really could not follow very closely every few months. So do not be surprised if your new iPhone or Samsung or LG phone will soon be outshone by another in the next year. But let’s have a little throwback: all these phone models will seem familiar to you, and it only seems like yesterday they were thrown into the market. But only one of these was actually released this year!

Question 17

Who is the star actress in the upcoming Tomb Raider film?

Who are these people, you may ask? Well, these are just the hottest female celebrity names that are steadily rising to the top of the Hollywood chain. Though a lot may know Lara Croft from the game, or the Angelina Jolie film, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the times. All these names match with relatively new faces in Hollywood, but have proven themselves to be mega stars. The question is, do you know who they are at all? And more importantly, which of them will wear the boots Jolie filled?

Question 18

Which among these shows is technically not a Netflix original?

Ah Netflix, which means binge-watching and steady streaming of shows straight from your computer. No more waiting every week for a new episode! If you really do keep up with the times, you’ll know one of these is not ‘technically’ a Netflix original, because its original network is The CW, but yeah, Netflix later on acquired the rights to broadcast the show, hence, showcasing it as a Netflix original series.

Question 19

What does LOL mean?

Drat! Another one of those cryptic abbreviation things! But hey, we’re telling you, this is only level 1. It’s in there with the ranks of OMG and TBH. We won’t torture you with the higher level ones like IYKWIM or JFC or SMH. Don’t worry, LOL doesn’t mean anything Satanic or communist either. It just means what it looks like it means on Obama’s face as you can see in the photo. See? He’s happy. Now take a guess what LOL means.

Question 20

Who among these is not part of Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2017?

Speaking once again of Time’s pervasive list, they have released not only the list of influential teens, but the 100 most influential people this year. This ranges from a whole section of pioneers to world leaders. So you better believe it when names like Mark Zuckerberg or Leo DiCaprio and even Kim Jong Un make it to the list. In the photo are last year’s Time 100, so you better jog your memory to remember who made it to this year’s list! Most of these names are young individuals, after all.

Question 21

Who is not part of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cast?

Okay, so the Star Wars franchise did have its roots way back into the early years of the 70s, but it has been going on for quite a while with a lot of actors and actresses changing up the scene you know. Sure, General Organa and Han Solo and Luke Skywalker will forever be known to us, but who’s Jyn or Rey or Cassian? These are the new amazing faces you better have watched out for. The somewhat standalone/prequel Rogue One did prove that a fresh cast brought an audience to its knees.

Question 22

What is the name of Khloe Kardashian’s makeover/weight loss show?

See, we warned you: the Kardashians are everywhere and they are practically taking over the world. Besides their cosmetic empire, and their reality TV series, which is celebrating their tenth year anniversary this year, they also each have of their own projects to deal with. Kim has her couture line, Kylie her lip kits, and Khloe? Well, Khloe has a TV show that might just give Biggest Loser a run for its money. What do you call her transformation/weight loss show that airs on the E! Network?

Question 23

What does AF mean?

“That’s sick AF!” “That is the most delicious AF piece of avocado toast I have ever eaten in my life.” “I’m happy AF.” May just be some of the things you would hear a guppie say. Or your gangly neighbor boy going through puberty. Or your daughter. Just what in the hell does AF mean? You see it in texts, you hear it from the mouths of the young ‘uns. Let’s just say it’s a way of expressing emphasis on something.

Question 24

Who among these is not a Victoria’s Secret model?

Of course, the fashion industry has to keep up with fresh faces all the time right? Heidi Klum will always be a well-known and loved Victoria’s Secret Angel, but there are many more girls who have since gained their wings. There’s Kendall Jenner (didn’t we tell you the Kardashians are everywhere?), and then some more - in fact, three of these names have walked the VS runway, but one of these is actually a plus-size model who appeared in Levi’s and Vogue, to name a few of her covers.

Question 25

What is the name of Miley Cyrus’ younger sister?

Everyone look out: there is a new Cyrus in town. For some of our older folks, we remember Billy Ray. Then came Miley’s claim to fame with her Hannah Montana series, and now, a newer, younger Cyrus is set to take the stage. Miley released widely popular albums such as Bangerz, making a name for herself not only in country but also in pop. Now her sister is following her footsteps (though not in the same way), as she has just released a new single, off her soon-to-be-released 2018 album.

Question 26

Who plays The Flash in the upcoming Justice League (2017) film?

Even well loved DC character The Flash gets numerous portrayals and re-vamps. One of these is a show on The CW titled The Flash, played by one actor; and then another equally young actor plays the Flash on the upcoming Justice League film. Can you remember which actor it is? Though he’s not technically a new face to Hollywood (playing Hamptons resident on Royal Pains and alongside Tilda Swinton in a film), he is young and his star is just about steadily rising these past few years.

Question 27

Who was not a member of One Direction?

We all remember Nsync, and Panic! At the Disco, or even the Jonas Brothers. But hey, the world is slowly moving on. So much so, in fact, that One Direction is on hiatus and most of them are pursuing solo careers. So you may have heard of a certain Harry Styles making tours, or a Zayn Malik who is compounded with Gigi Hadid. But do you know the rest of the members? They are all relatively young and all started out from The X Factor, so some names might slip from our minds…

Question 28

Who did The Chainsmokers collaborate with in their song Closer?

Speaking of artists, a lot of new names and recent crowd favorites are teaming up and making collabs with each other. It's a sure fire way to gather fans from both sides of the fanbase and amass a whole new following. After The Chainsmokers lit up radios and concert grounds with their song Roses, they ventured to collaborate with another artist to make Closer, which has been making our ears bleed (not necessarily in a bad way), but because it’s been repeatedly played on just about any sound device everywhere!

Question 29

Who plays Baby’s love interest in Baby Driver?

Here we have another great film birthed by acclaimed director, writer, and actor Edgar Wright. If his name does not ring a bell, then his works might - he wrote and directed cult favorite Scott Pilgrim vs the World and also the Cornetto trilogy starring favorites Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. He made and released a hit action film just this year, with Ansel Elgort flexing his acting and driving skills as Baby and sharing sizzling on-screen chemistry with a certain leading lady.

Question 30

Who was Miss Universe 2015?

Who could forget 2015’s Miss Universe pageant? It was a first of sorts, because it highlighted the time when the announcer, the hilarious Steve Harvey, accidentally awarded the shining crown to the runner up instead of the actual winner. It took a bit of a shock, some embarrassing dead air time, and probably heartbreak for the mistaken winner to reveal to the world the real Miss Universe. Well, at least we know for sure that no one could ever forget her name.

Question 31

Which is not a messaging app?

Since we are on the topic of apps, are you up to date with your messaging apps? Because besides our trusty Messenger, which is the main Facebook chat platform, and good ol’ texting, a lot of new apps are sprouting up and offering new things like stickers and ‘stories’ and emojis to spice up our conversations. But one of these is not like the rest. It actually is a blogging platform and funnily enough, it started out with no direct messaging options.

Question 32

What is the slang for ‘puppy’?

Even the dog world did not escape the new slang culture of the millennials. Apparently, a puppy is not just a puppy anymore, and neither is a dog. There are hierarchies of dogs (based on how big or old they are of course, because all dogs are heaven sent), and each one has a designated name. A dog is not a dog anymore, but it could either be a doggo, or a woofer, or a floofer. Trust me, there’s a science to all of this.

Question 33

Which among these is not a John Green book?

Some of us may have grown up on A.A. Milne, or J.K. Rowling, or J.R.R. Tolkien, and all those names with their initials and unforgettable surnames. But the new age is growing up with young adult books and stories about people in not very usual situations. For example, his hit novel (which became a movie too) talks about two young lovers who are both undergoing their own health issues, with the protagonist Hazel Grace battling cancer, and her lover Augustus Waters also battling the same.

Question 34

Which new actor is the star of Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk?

To cap off our millennial and Gen Z trial, let us look no further than 2017’s hit summer blockbuster, legendary Christopher Nolan’s war drama Dunkirk, showcasing the trials and the hopeful evacuation of thousands of British and French troops during the war. Since it’s such a huge film, one would expect big names to be there; and there they were, with favorites like Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. But the film’s protagonist is actually a new face to the film scene. Think you know who he might be?

Question 35

Which among these celebrities is not part of Time’s Most Influential Teens of 2017?

Just in the past week, Time magazine has released their usual list of influential people; but this time is the youth edition! That is right, youth people probably 21 and under who have made a lot of contributions and difference to the world. Imagine, being a teenager and already making waves?! What are you doing with your time? But anyway, the list includes celebrity favorites like Bretman Rock, but also other teens in the world of politics (like Shibby De Guzman) or science. But one of these is not included in the long list of youthful names.
