Usually I find scoring in the 36th percentile somewhat depressing. Not this time.

I may be able to name all the Spice Girls, but I'm proud to say I have no idea what The Jersey Shore is. It sounds like crap though.

I almost put How You Remind Me, but couldn't remember if it was Nickelback or not. And knowing the opening lines of I Want It That Way is not something to be embarrassed about.

The quiz was good, because it was fun. But it's based on your perspective as to whether or not you find these embarrassing. I knew them all except 'Jersey Shore' 'Jon and Kate' and 'Nickelback'. But, I'm also a 22 year old female who was a preteen during Spice Girls and BSB, is from the south, and has a younger sister. Therefore, I'm not at all embarrassed to know any of it.

Proud to get a whopping 9/48. And four (the Twilight books) are entirely because I work in a library. This is the first time I feel rewarded for living in a pop culture vacuum!

Uh-oh...I got in the 48th percentile. How terrible, to discover via Sporcle that you're far lamer than you thought!

You got 5 out of 48 You scored at the 11th percentile xD I got 3 of the twilight books the forth one, apparently breaking dawn.. I thought one had dawn in it BUT what's funnier is that there are not 1, but TWO ads for casting of breaking dawn on the results page.

Excellent quiz :) I was so glad to only get 100% in the 'Spice girls' section. And shockingly only 9 overall.

99th percentile, 40 correct, and I used to know the ones I missed. I hang my head in shame.

I either knew all of the category (Twilight, Jonas, Backstreet Boys, Jersey Shore, American Idol) or none of it

I didn't get much apart from the Spice Girls but I think if there was a more UK-centric version of this quiz I'd get embarasingly high!

I only got all the Spice Girls and one Backstreet Boys-line (the one desire). A lot of the other categories I don't even know what it is.

Got only 1, New Moon, and that's because of all the stupid hype about the movie. Never thought of just typing 'Twilight'.
