A slang term used to describe an individual who wears Abercrombie, American Eagle, Aeropostale,
Hollister, and
like clothing brands and styles while also following set trends and watching television shows like The OC, One Tree Hill, Laguna Beach, and like shows.
"A" is believed to also stand for: average, alike, akin, accepted, arrogant, aloof, asinine, etc. (and some may suggest more rude words such as '
ass') Such words apply to the stereotype that the label, formerly known as prep, suggests.
