Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you have probably heard of the hit Broadway musical" Hamilton," and how it has taken the theater world by storm. Actor, composer and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda spent years researching the life of the somewhat forgotten founding father Alexander Hamilton, and now his hip-hop historical masterpiece has become the hottest ticket on Broadway. Of course with the musical's record breaking success comes a devout fanbase. From rapping every lyric to the three-hour long soundtrack, to lining the streets outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre to catch a glimpse of Ham4Ham, "Hamilton" fans are some of the most devoted in the business. Here are 28 signs you're one of those fans.
1. You can correctly timeline nearly every battle of the Revolutionary War despite paying zero attention in U.S. History.
2. If you ever found yourself in the middle of a duel, you would know exactly what to do.
Disclaimer: Hamilton's "aim your pistol at the sky" theory has a zero percent success rate.
3. You get very aggravated when you think about how America didn't actually win its independence in 1776 despite being taught that your entire life.
4. Your bio on at least one social media platform contains a "Hamilton" quote and no one is surprised.
5. You feel very passionately about Eliza Hamilton and know that she must be protected at all costs.
6. You may have a crush on at least four founding fathers.
7. When someone asks for your name, you have to fight the urge to melodically reply with Alexander Hamilton.
8. The Schuyler sisters have become your new feminist icons. WORK!
9. Your life goal is to learn Lafayette's rap in "Guns and Ships" and you will not rest until you have perfected it.
10. You actively refer to yourself as "Hamiltrash."
11. The moment you flawlessly rapped every word to "Satisfied" will be one you remember forever.
12. You suddenly cherish all of your 10 dollar bills just because Hamilton is on them.
Mad respect for the ten dollar founding father without a father.
13. You may have shed a few tears watching members of the original cast take their final bows.
14. You understand the significance of #YAYHAMLET and use it in everyday conversation.
15. You find yourself desperately scouring the internet at 3 a.m. for reasonably priced resale tickets.
16. You feel connected with Peggy Schuyler on an emotional level.
We are all Peggy.
17. You know that HERCULES MULLIGAN must be shouted aggressively every time. No exceptions.
18. You refer to the founding fathers as if they haven't been dead for nearly 200 years.
19. Every time someone gets in your car you force them to listen to the soundtrack until they beg you to stop.
20. You have spent hours watching all of the Ham4Ham videos on Youtube from multiple points of view.
The Schuyler Georges will always have a special place in your heart.
21. "In their eyes I see you, Alexander, I see you every time," may as well be a knife in your heart.
22. Nothing gets you more hype than when your music is on shuffle and "My Shot" happens to play directly after "Aaron Burr, Sir."
23. You feel as if Lin-Manuel Miranda is actually part of your family.
24. No King George will ever match the sass of Jonathan Groff.
25. The Broadway carpool karaoke was the best thing that ever happened to you.
Watching James Corden rap "Guns and Ships" is all I'll ever need in life.
26. Aaron Burr is public enemy No. 1.
Except not because he's still pretty great.
27. You can't control your outrage during "Say No to This," so you end up yelling, "NO!" dramatically with the rest of the cast.
28. You tend to have in depth conversations about the musical with your other Hamiltrash friends.
Despite the fact that tickets to see the show often cannot be found for under $2,000, every day in the life of a "Hamilton" fan is a good one. From blasting the soundtrack and showing off your rapping skills, to dropping references in daily conversations, "Hamilton" has something for every person to enjoy. Maybe one day you'll finally get tickets and enter the room where it happens at the sacred Richard Rodgers, but until that day comes... you're willing to wait for it.
