This quiz was originally published April 30, 2014, and was updated with the release of Mean Girls (2024) to include questions related to the musical adaptations. We’re republishing in honor of “Mean Girls Day.†Once you ace this quiz, try your hand at today’s Cinematrix.

A few months after Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook at Harvard, Mean Girls premiered in theaters as one of the last movies of its kind: a pre-modern-day internet cultural touchstone. But 20 years later, we remain as obsessed with it as ever before — its social commentary feels just as relevant, and the original movie’s Broadway musical adaptation even has its own musical-movie version. But just how obsessed with it are you? Are you one of the greatest fans you’ll ever meet? Or are you like a grotsky byotch? Time to find out. Get in, loser.
