The TEST

- - - Updated - - -

You got Romanticism

You belong in the Romantic era. Lowercase-r romantic means “anything of or relating to a Katherine Heigl movie.” Here we’re talking capital-R Romantic, which refers to a period in the 1800s where people were writing about the Gothic cathedrals, the irrationality of emotion, and getting the plague in war-riddled England. You enjoy lightning storms, feelings, and adventures, and you’re all about that “dying of tuberculosis” aesthetic. You’re an introvert. Your contemporaries are John Keats, William Wordsworth, Mary Shelley, and Lord Byron. These guys were big on writing ballads about nature and how awesome it was. All of them knew how to party, and most of them died young.

You got Transcendentalism

You should have been a Transcendentalist. Transcendentalism was this thing where philosophers in the early 1800s decided individualism was cool and good, and so were trees. They were big on self-reliance and social reform. The movement took many forms of expression, literature being one of the most prominent. Like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, you believe humans are their best selves when they are independent. Also like Emerson and Thoreau, you enjoy a good nature walk and would live in a world devoid of Twitter and Instagram if you could.

Beat Generation

 

[Ashtart]

Beat Generation

You belong to the Beat Generation of the 1950s. The Beats (so named because they were “beat,” or tired, which, I mean, aren’t we all? You’re not special, Jack Kerouac) were huge fans of nonconformity, psychedelic drugs, and pushing boundaries. Like the Beats, you hate censorship and love smooth jazz. You often challenge traditional narratives in your writing, opting instead to focus on stream-of-consciousness storytelling and nonlinear timelines. Your contemporaries are Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. It was harder to be a woman and a Beat poet, because of society, but Diane DiPrima, Hettie Jones, and Elise Cowen were also there.

[Falcarius]

You got The Lost Generation

You should have been part of the Lost Generation. These were people who came of age around the time that World War I was happening, so most of their literary talking points were corruption, alienation, and war, which was Not Good. They rejected many of the morals and social norms of the previous generation, basically because the Great War had just happened, so what was the point of things like gender roles? Much like these hard-drinking and fast-living writers and poets, you often feel bitter, directionless, and disillusioned—too young to feel this old. Your contemporaries are Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein.

"Sort of" to this result as a whole, "hell yes" to the last sentence.
