The distant future. It sounds strange, because she isn't from a world in which people chose their careers, or even one in which there was any variety at all. In District 12, there were either the mines or becoming a merchant, and you had to be lucky enough to be born into that. There were exceptions, of course. There was the Hob. Some people sold themselves. Some people worked for the Peacekeepers, or for the Mayor or some of the other rich citizens of 12. But all in all, there were no dreams. Especially not towards anything as frivolous as music. Maybe in the Capitol, with all of their celebrities.
But Kurt doesn't seem like that type of person. Maybe on the outside. He might dress ridiculously, but he didn't poke at her like some specimen like most of them did.
Ultimately, though, Katniss' gauge is basically that once, when she might have felt things like this, she wouldn't want him dead. Which is a good scale on how he measures up.

"Good luck with that."
She half means it, too.
