Preps

The "popular" group or "clique" in high school who was distinct from jocks (though they were closely associated with them). Some were involved in student government and clubs, which gave them even more social leverage. They usually wore unobtrusive outfits that blended easily into the crowd, such as polos with shorts or t-shirts with jeans. Their music tastes were usually mainstream and uncontroversial (stuff you'd hear on the radio). They usually all congregated in one place. Essentially, they weren't so much a subculture in itself but rather functioned more as an "absence of subculture," which is what gave them broad mainstream appeal.

Preps were mostly prevalent before the mid-2010s.
