Hashtag Trivia
Think You Know Your Goths and Title Tracks? Put Your Pop Culture Knowledge to the Test
On this week's Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz segment, weatherman Jerry Steffen is celebrating a mix of May 22nd holidays, including National Road Trip Day, National Solitaire Day, and the one that inspired today's quiz, World Goth Day. The goth community deliberately chose a date separate from Halloween so it could stand out on its own, and Jerry is honoring that in true morning show fashion, with a pair of questions that will test your pop culture knowledge.
First up, a deep cut from the Adams Family franchise. Wednesday Addams has been played by some iconic actresses over the years, and the question zeroes in on a detail from the original television series. Do you know what Wednesday's middle name is?
1) What is Wednesday Addams' middle name in the original television series?
A) Friday
B) Twilight
C) November
The second question shifts from TV to music, spotlighting one of the most beloved bands in goth history. This English group formed in the late 70s and made a sharp turn toward a darker, more tormented sound on their second album, 17 Seconds. If you know your goth anthems, this one should hit close to home.
2) Which goth band is known for the recordings "Why Can't I Be You" and the bestselling goth single "Love Song"?
A) The Cure
B) Joy Division
C) Siouxsie and the Banshees
Think you know the answers? Watch the video above to find out if you got them right, and catch Jerry Steffen every morning on NBC Palm Springs.
