“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer
It’s safe to say you’re an avid Gilmore Girls watcher. Like Rory Gilmore, you may not always excel at relationships, but when you’re in love, you’re completely head over heels.
Every year, you desperately wait for fall to roll in so you can stroll around in cute, comfy outfits. You are definitely the “mom friend” of your group, and I wouldn’t be surprised if your classic scent is a warm, woodsy vanilla.

“Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star
If you were to tell me your favorite fall song was “Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star, I’d hand you the tissue from my back pocket. You’re either facing a serious heartbreak or hopelessly single.
Watching movies and TV shows is your favorite comforting activity on a cozy fall night, and your ideal drink might be tea or hot chocolate. Your favorite movies include 10 Things I Hate About You and La La Land, and you appreciate a good cry. Everyone turns to you for movie recommendations because you’ve seen nearly everything and always know exactly what fits the vibe.
“All Too Well” (10-Minute Version) by Taylor Swift
You remember intricate details about an interaction—you just remember everything a little “All Too Well.” You love the fall because you get to break out your melancholic playlist featuring Taylor Swift, Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, and similar artists. You savor cold, rainy days solely for the vibes they add to your music. You love reading and value your alone time, but you also enjoy being surrounded by friends.
Your perfect fall playlist consists of songs from the albums evermore and folklore, and you might even be a day one Gracie Abrams fan. You often find yourself defending Taylor Swift, but you don’t mind because you know she’s a lyrical genius.
“Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood
Going to bed at 2 a.m. every night isn’t healthy, but you can’t help that you’re a night owl. While you enjoy the fall season, you prefer dark, stormy nights over warm, cozy ones. Your favorite weather is obviously “Sweater Weather,” and you look forward to chilly days when you can bury yourself in an oversized sweater and throw on your favorite hat or scarf.
Your music taste is amazing, and you are always the go-to friend for aux. On a typical weekend, you can be found in the passenger seat of a friend’s car blasting music and singing along as loudly as you can. But trust me, we don’t mind—you actually sound pretty good.
“Staying” by Lizzy McAlpine
You’re trendy, cool, and fully aware of it. While this song is newer than others on this list, Lizzy McAlpine is quickly becoming more popular and, well, you don’t know whether to be happy about that. You either know her from TikTok or are extremely disappointed that her music is constantly gaining attention.
You treat picking the music to go with your Instagram story as an art form—and you always manage to choose the perfect one. Your Instagram is filled with amazing views and stunning poses, and your friends rely on you when taking pictures because you either get the best angles, have the best camera, or both. Bonus points if you own the Canon PowerShot G7 X.
