This is by far the funniest EC-related post I have ever seen, and it only has a few words. Check out Marc’s pictoral “You might be emerging if…” quiz. I’m guilty. Guilty. Guilty.
However…
- I do not like Guinness. If you would like to know why, please contact me personally and we will discuss it.
- I have read all of the books on the list, except the ones by Foster, Lamott, and Peterson (though I’ve read other titles by those authors)
- I have not heard Sufjan Stevens‘ music, and my iPod is a shuffle
- I do not like bumper stickers, nor polarized, politicized cultural group identities such as “Christian liberal”
- I’m a PC user (insert brief Mac-bashing comment here)
That might seem like a lot of caveats, but scroll through the quiz and I think you’ll still see what I mean. It’s pretty much dead-on.



ole Soof-yawn is worth a listen, I think no matter your musical persuasion.
Scroll down a ways, on the left side the category “Stuff” has some free samples. Don’t miss the third one.
And you’re not a SINGLE white male…
and you don’t have a tattoo…
and you drive a sensible Saturn rather than a Scion or VW van (though that would be cool)…
and you don’t have a “liberal dose” of cussage in your vocabulary…
but other than that, I would say you’re guilty :).
Oh yeah…more caveats I failed to mention. Thanks.
[laughing] Thanks to Amy for the authoritative listing of Justin’s caveats!

That car was a prius, not a scion. None the less, it wouldn’t hurt to become part of the Scion Generation if you want to be considered emerging. The thing is, I never listened to many of those artists but I get the idea.
