A name which has basically become an insult used to describe people that want to look and dress nice and have an active social life. You don't have to be rich to be a preppy, just have to look good (Many personalities are measured by how they keep up their appearance). The only people that don't like preps are usually kids that can't fit in or get picked on a lot because they look like retards, are fat, antisocial, or all 3. Just because some people like to be happy once in awhile and you can't because of your code of gothiness or emoness prevent you from doing so because you would be afraid to lose those friends and be called a "conformist." I would consider myself preppy (I don't like to label, subcultures are retarded) but I'm not rich or anything and I hang out with girls that say like a lot and most of my friends wear polo's (Oh, and from KOHLS. Wow...) People can spend their money how they want to. If they want a set of ripped jeans from AE go for it.
All the punkers gathered in a circle when the evil preps came along and when they passed them they started snickering and calling them preps and then they would later go home that night and get a boner from saying it - even the punk girls.

Danyelle, you took the words right out of my mouth.
1. Someone who wears what is "in" and it is usually pink. (I have nothing against guys wearing pink, I wear it all the time but usually when girls wear pink it is very preppy). These trends come from people in the mainstream media like Ashlee Simpson. My philosophy is that preps are like lemons in many ways: they all look alike, they're all dumb, and we can't figure out what plant either of them grows on.

1) someone who attends a preparatory school
2) an outcast in the eyes of outcasts because of the clothes they wear the music they listen to and their obsession with material items...more often than not these cliques that despise the preps are just to damn jealous of the fact that these "preps" seem to be completely happy and everyone else wants in on it, when really they should stop being a bunch of pathetic losers who judge the preps that they despise on the very things that the preps judged them on....in all reality the so called "preps" don't despise these "lesser" people, They just don't give a shit about them and their black clothing, shitty music, and cliche art featuring a girl in full black attire and blood.

do people forget what real preps are?i dont live in a society that is one big flaw lik ethe united states.real preps are epople like frasier.there is nothing wrong if you are rich and want to be more civilised than those people who would rather go pick up a ho and then get drunk.there is nothing wrong if you like all those clothing brands mentioned.if u like htose clothes its fine.if u lik emainstream music its fine.BUT the underground term for prep are those who,jsu becaus ethey have a higher status in any walk of life specially high school think they can get your crush hate you.and the preps who say that they are individuals let me say something these stereotypes are a more flawed version of nationalities.each have their own customs the basic core but not everyone is on the spot alike. i jsut went to the us recently and u have go tto understand ppl think preps like those displayed in movies are just exaggerated.when i went to the us i asked a prep for assistance and after the wa\y she lloked at me and talked to me i was laughin in her face.
sports team ember,sports shirts,prestigious clothing brands,popular,like parties=not preps
preps=all of the above +making ppls social life a misery,think they have the right to judge things like movies music and people.

A prep is a person who's favorite words are usually like, omg, totally, and any other valley girl word that they can come up with. Their favorite color is generally pink, and they love to shop at American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Hollister, or even sometimes Anchor Blue. The percentage of preps that are posers is about 50%. They are usually skinny blondes, with an occasional brunette. Preps tend to date jocks, and vise versa. Most of the time, preps are cheerleaders, on the dance team, and spend every day talking on the phone for 4 hours to their boyfriend of the week. Preps are not always sluts, but a lot of the times they are. Preps generally idolize Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, and consider Avril Lavigne 'too goth for them'. Preps usually have rich daddys, and have some type of small dog.
1. "OMG that sweater at American Eagle that you bought is totally cute!", said Ashley.
2. Look at that chick in the pink American Eagle shirt, she must be a prep.

not necesarily a conformist. prep really has to do with where u go to school and how much money ur family has (i'd say that preps are typically upper middle class).
preps are generally sheltered, by parents, teachers, ect. that's why they don't have much life experience and a prep's life is not particularly interesting. hence the extra-curriculars- the idea is to fill up ur time, and then since u have something to do, u think ur not so boring after all.
unfortunatly tho, u are.
a prep isn't necesarily interested in school/ grades. in fact, a lot of preps are lazy. altho, that's often just what they say, because in the end, most of them care, even if it's just a little bit.
also, not all preps are posers. they're not genuine fakers- most of them realize they're losers.
basically, don't hate preps- we hate ourselves enough already.
