stereotype

The gayest shit ever. Period.
Nobody should be categorized by what they wear, or the music they listen to, they are just doing whatever the fuck they want, and not trying to impress anybody.

Any middle-school social grouping such as emo, goth, prep, gangsta, jock

Or, any assumption that one characteristic of a person determines another,

All jews are not greedy

All politicians do not stereotype

All muslims are not terrorists

All female bartenders are not harlots

comprenda?

stereotype

a "proven fact" which is always disproven by at least one person, rendering "stereotype" completely false. Dangerous to try stereotyping, it will always backfire

largely true perhaps, but prone to backfire, is any social stereotype. To be cut and dried, all emo kids have a unique clothing style(as far as i've seen) and an even more unique hairstyle. Punks that i've seen are typically incredibly naive, but there is always someone who will exist to disprove that statement.....

stereotype

When somebody says something about a certain group of people that a lot of people think is true but really it isnt.

Sometimes they are true though, but on a rare occasion.

Here are some examples.

All blacks like rap.

All white people from the south like country.

All blacks are gangsters and live in the ghetto.

All blondes are stupid.

All people with A.D.D or A.D.H.D are idiots who always get bad grades.

Everybody from the south is a redneck.

All Americans are money crazed.

All Canadians say "eh" all the time.

All emos cut and hate life (true)

These are all stereotype's.

stereotype

People use them to feel good about themselves, to put people down and to make fun of them on how they are.
Also called, Labels.
Which are completelty f***ed up.
Labels can suck on my asshole.

Ryan: "Hey look at that emo kid over there. HEY GO CUT YOURSELF F***ING EMO!"
Dan: "Hey man, that's pretty rude of you to say, if you looked 'emo', would you want someone else telling you to go cut yourself? I don't think so. Don't stereotype people."
