Back in the early 2000s, nothing said more about your emotional state than your AIM away message. Whether it was cryptic lyrics, sassy quotes, or brb crying energy, that glowing yellow icon was basically your teen soul in HTML. But if you were crafting your away message today, what would it say about your vibe — and your inner brand of chaos?

Are You the Main Character, the Sidekick, or the Villain?

This quiz lets you create your dream AIM aesthetic from fonts to fake statuses to emotionally charged punctuation. At the end, we’ll decode your choices and reveal the exact flavor of chaos that lives inside you — from soft spiral to full-blown pop-punk meltdown.
