1.A stoe that wants to be abercrombie.

2.Not a prep store.(its too cheap, only posers that want to be prep shop there often.the A&F prep will get a couple of t-shirts at ae to wear in gym class and get the rest from A&F)

3.A store with horrible quality clothes that are two months late.

P.S. There are different typs of preps:

Real prep-wears polo, lacoste, and is a WASP.

A&F pre-wears Abercrombie and Fitch and usall are more of a hardcore version. They(we)part alot, have sex alot, dress in awsome threads and dont care what people think.
MARY:"Fred is a real prep he lives in Conneticute and wears LL. Bean"

BOB:"Yeah and Justin is a A&F prep. Hes like an alcoholic even though hes only 17 and getts laid more than onyone i know."

People who are too cheap to shop at Abercrombie. And by the way niether of these stores are "preppy". Abercrombies a good store that isnt "preppy" just good clothes. American Eagle is their knock-off brand. Its for all those fags that are too chaep to pay good money for quality clothes.
American Eagle Sucks 'cause they totally take abercrombies ideas every month. Dont support them you desperate prep wannabes.

A complete rip-off of Abercrombie. Even the name AE. Is it just me or doest that look surprisingly like AF? Its for kids who just wanna be like the "preps", but really look queer wearing it, because its not prep at all. Abercrombie will come out with a shirt or a new style and you wont see it in American Eagle for another month. It takes them time to copy it just right. So if you wanna rip-off a great store shop there.
"Hey i saw this in Abercrombie a month ago!....and this!....and this!......geee you think American Eagle might be ripping-off Abercrombie?"

A Generally All around good store.
Many people judge the girls and guys who wear it thinking they are imature, popular bitches.
This is NOT ALWAYS the case. I shop there sometimes when there are sales, and occasionaly treat my slef to a high quality, cute button up shirt or polo. But I don't waste my money on a plain tank I can get at Target.
I do agree it is annoying to see 5 girls wearing the same shirt as you though.
I don't like labeling, and it's a cute store. It's not way over priced like Abercrombie or it's brother, Fitch.
I'm just saying it's judged to much, because populars make fools of them selfves, and anyone who wears it.
If you like it, good for you! If you don't, what's it to you? you arn't wearing it...
Person 1: Omg! That shirt is so cute!
Person 2: Yeah! Thanks! I got it on a sale At A&E!
Person 1: Cool! I've been waiting for a sale to get a sweater Want to go this weekend together?
Person 2: Sure!
