Someone who is well-liked by others. SOME can be snobby, but definitly not all! A lot are very nice and smart! Some are just plain sluts and think that they are the world. Popular people can be liked by there intelligence, looks, lack of intelligence, reputation, or being nice! Popular people are real people with real feelings and a real brain! The so-called "dumb" ones just act that way to be accepted by others.
Nice example: Whitney is very popular, because she is so nice!
Mean example: Leah is a slut! Thats why shes so popular!

Kids who everyone loves to hate. A lot of the so called "unpopular" kids want to be like them so badly they'll do anything to be their friends. Poeple think that popular kids aren't like the kids on tv, this is only true sometimes. A lot of popular kids, girls mostly, will find any oportunity to put someone else down. Most of the time they're nice one on one, but in a large group, they are at they're strongest. If you disagree with this, you're either in the perfect school, are oblivious to ur surruondings or you are popular.

1.)People always think that this means stupid:not the case. They can be damn intelligent know-it-alls in class, but often have to follow every trend to carry on Bing "popular". They have a massive group of "friends" that would ditch them at the drop of a hat, and tramp around town in large groups doing sod all. They have to gang up to pick on one person Bcoz they're actually decent.
2.)Someone who is actually likeable, friendly and has proper friends.

" Willow! Nice dress! Good to know you've seen the softer side of Sears.
willow: Uh, oh, well, my mom picked it out.
Cordelia: No wonder you're such a guy magnet. Are you done?"
"You wanna fit in here, the first rule is: know your losers.
Once you can identify them all by sight (glances after Willow) they're a
lot easier to avoid."
"Definitely. My favorite time of year. (giggles) I am, of
course, having my dress specially made. Off the rack gives me hives."
when ran in-to in the hallCordelia: Uhhh! Behold, the weirdness!
in call discussion with a popular vrs a nerd
Willow: Well, everyone looked down on him.
Cordelia: That is such a twinkie defense. Shylock should get over himself. People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like this
time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of *my* life, and she's trying to make it about *her* leg! Like *my* pain meant nothing.
after boyfriend got beat upWell, the doctor says he'll be fine. They're gonna send him
home tomorrow. But... you should've seen him lying there. All black and blue? How's he gonna look in our Prom pictures? How am I ever gonna be able to show them to anyone
feelings on being "popular"Hey! You think I'm never lonely because I'm so
cute and popular? I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone.
It's not like any of them really know me. I don't even know if they like
me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes
when I talk, everyone's so busy agreeing with me, they don't hear a word
I say.
"Thank you for making the right choice, and for showing me how
much you all love me. (applause) Being this popular is not just my
right, but my responsibility, and I want you to know I take it very
seriously."

adjective: term meaning you are 'well known' or 'liked' by many such as friends associates or acquaintances. some confuse this definition as 'loved' and so on.... which is not really true if you had a half a brain to think with. sadly there are many out there who think being 'popular' is being loved or wanted in some material cover up way for their not yet classified emotional void(s) that is lacking with the ugly reality because at the end of the day, "popularity" does not win. Unless of course, you have the mentality of an highschooler and you want to become the next prom king or queen. This is my personal opinion so I will put whatever definition I damn well please.
Not all 'popular' ones think they are better than the not so 'popular' geeks,freeks,and so on but I can bet my life on it that when you are mature enough, you will see this popularity crap is not all it's hyped up to be. THAT IS, when and if you do mature.
Having great friends through the tears and laughter is a rare and beautiful thing though.

Popular Individual:I am popular because I am constantly up to date with all the latest fashions and you are not because you are POOR.

A popular person is one who is well respected by his peers and has a strenuous and demanding social life. The word is mostly used in the context of middle or high school.
Popular students in middle or high school are not necessarily popular because they are nice people. As well, popular people aren’t necessarily heartless snobby bitches or assholes – different high schools have different standards of attraction, meaning that the qualities that are looked for in the social elite differ based on the school environment. At some schools and in some groups, truly nice people are liked, and in other schools and groups, popular people simply wish to climb the social ladder by whichever means possible; social behavior is a game of chess rather than an enjoyable experience.
To say that every school has a social elite is a fallacy as well. I have been to two high schools; one of them did not have a school-wide social elite. Instead socialization was immensely group-based, with the majority of socialization taking place in your group. There were people whose names were known by everyone, but for the most part, there was no major gap between popular and unpopular, and it could have been argued everyone was popular in some way, whether good or bad.
Two types of popularity occur in a high school setting. First, there is positive popularity, where people know and revere you. Secondly, there is negative popularity, where everyone knows your name, everyone talks about you, but nobody likes you.

Like in Bruce Almighty, where Bruce asks for the powers of God yet falls apart due to his duties being God, the boy standing on the fringes of society did not ask to be popular, as he knew the social headache he would receive.
