A stupid ass event in a school setting where students are forcefully crammed into a gym and forced to watch dumb stuff while godawful music is destroying the ears of people. The school admins also want you to have spirit in your crime-ridden school that is basically Carcer City but in school form.

What to do: skip it if you get the chance to do so. Either loiter somewhere else in the building or leave completely.
Joseph: Oh fuck, a dumb pep rally is happening.

Robert: Well, whaddaya want to do instead?
Joseph: I don't know, whack it to bad amateur porn?
Robert: Well it is a better use of time than attending a dumb pep rally.

WHAT: A pointless event characterized by loud, slutty cheerleaders yelling at you to support your school's team, General insanity, a bunch of jocks acting like assholes yelling to you about how they'll kick the other team's ass when in the end they get their asses handed to them on a silver plate, loud and eardrum-rupturing techno/motivational music

WHEN: Scheduled by the principal or whenever your team has a game

WHY: Motivation(?), To be a complete waste of time

What to do in this situation: Skip/ditch the pep rally entirely, attend and fall asleep, ask to use the facilities and don't return, visit the Christian cult at the back of your school (yes, there's a Christian cult at the back of your school)
Joe: Well fuck me with a yard stick! There's a goddamned pep rally today!!

Chris: WTF?! dude that sucks mega balls!

Joe: Wanna ditch and play Halo?

Chris: Is there a reason I would remain at this gay pep rally?

Joe: Good point :|

An event where students go to "support" a school team (usually the football team) that probably sucks and show "school spirit", even if the school has low SAT scores, bad drug problems, etc.. Most of the time, pep rallies are mandatory and are very loud. They are hated by emos, goths, mostly everyone in general, and are loved by preps.

My school was going to have a pep rally today, so I stayed home.

1. a gathering of students before a game.
2. an excuse to miss an hour of school.
3. a way to force kids to have school spirit.
I was forced to attend pep rally.

A very stupid and cringy event where all of the sports teams are represented in a high school. All of the band geeks play loud ass instruments, and cheerleaders scream so loud, you can’t even hear the person two seats away. It’s very pointless and 80% of the kids are on their phones. Even the seniors leave before it starts.
William: Hey Ryan there’s a pep rally at 1. You want to leave? We can go out for lunch.
Ryan: HELL YES. LETS GET OUTTA HERE. SCREW THE PEP RALLY.

An utterly pointless gathering (often of High School students) in which the participants scream and shout until their vocal cords are scarred,for the purpose of "supporting the team." It is an attempt to make people happy about the backwards, stone age social system that still permeates our society, in which the biggest and strongest still remain on top, whilst those that have even the barest hint of intellect (read: nerd, geek, emo) are kept in the lower echelons in spite of the fact that it is them that drive society forward.
douche bag: Dude, there's a pep rally today. Let's show school spirit

intelligent person: no... i'd rather not support a social system that went out of date back when humans invented agriculture.

douche bag: what did he say?

A loud, idiotic event that is held to make members of a school team feel special about themselves when in truth they are no more important than any other student. They are an attempt at forcibly getting sane students (who are considered emos) to show school spirit, and are only enjoyed by idiotic students, which is generally most of the school.
I felt like shooting myself at the pep rally.
