Well I did go back and forth between NJ and Florida when I was a kid but I spent most of my life in the north.
And the greatest band? What awful choices! How about the Grateful Dead or the Allman Brothers?

And TV theme songs? Peter Gunn was awesome but I still love the Adam's Family.
So many of these questions are missing the right answers - the best instrumental TV theme song of all time is "Peter Gunn."
The best American band ever is the Ramones.
Nevertheless, it got me right - northeast. "Did your favorite radio station start with W or K?" was a big clue.

Oh, and the theme to "The Green Hornet" is a close second.
lol couldnt be further away! I am a Vermonter.
It said California
You grew up in the Pacific Northwest
Birthplace of Jimi Hendrix and grunge, the Pacific Northwest likes its music gritty and loud. It should be as rugged and comfortable as a lumberjack's shirt.
Way off. I grew up right here in Montreal.

California? I don't even VISIT there!
I got that too! lol I'm in the Northeast
The South? No...try Kansas. 🙂
California? No, born and raised right here in the northeast corner of Tennessee! How could it be California when my answer to number 6 is "W"? Don't west coast stations start with a K? Some of these answers are more age-related, too.
missed by 800 miles
Yes, Mid-Atlantic and close to several major cities.
"You grew up in California." Not quite. My parents grew up in California, they met as music undergrads at CSUN. I spent my childhood in Chicago, before we moved to Houston when I was 12. I'm now living in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Wow.
Pacific NW ?? Not even close....how about Ohio...
It says I grew up in the South. I'm a New England boy.
I am a Boston boy in my heart.
I'm a New Englander too and I got California
No… CT.
this quiz said I grew up in California! wrong, I grew up here in Oklahoma all my life.
You grew up in California
The sun and surf informs everything — from the breeze harmonies in your pop music to the rhythms built for rolling back the roof of your convertible. There's a reason all the record labels seemed to be based in L.A.
Far from it, I grew up right here in Montreal. All the radio stations start with a C up here, so I chose k because the station I grew up listening to was CKGM

"You grew up in the South
Nashville is your music capital. But the South is so much more than country music. It has given birth to everything from James Brown to Outkast, from the Allman Brothers to the B-52's."
Not even close. I didn't even grow up in the Southern Tier of New York State. I grew up in the Mohawk Valley in Central NYS. Perhaps the intern who created this didn't know but Country music is hardly just a southern thing. It's universal to every region of the country.

The south? Nope, NJ!
You grew up in the Northeast
You are either from a major metropolis, or within a short drive of one. This means you grew up with the rhythms of the big city, the rock of Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, the cool of New York City.
That is accurate!

You grew up in the Southwest
It's a big, open landscape, and it takes a big, lonesome sound to fill it. But it's not all dusty twang and cowboy tunes. Everybody from Buddy Holly to the Shins sprouted up from the Southwest.
I grew up in Texas.
