Prototypical mall store for the middle/upper class WASP and/or preppy. Unfortunately, Abercrombie isn't just a store, but more of a national phenomena now thanks to popularity on TV shows such as Laguna Beach and The Hills. Known as a haven for stuck up, Tanorexics with fake designer bags and huge sunglasses. Abercrombie uses a very effective ad campaign which targets the reality show generation of trendy whores and faux-hawk sporting douchebags.
All of their clothes consist of a "worn" and fake vintage look which makes insecure teens feel like part of the "in" crowd without even having to try. Alternatively, hordes of abercrombie polo-wearing douchebags can be spotted at bars across the nation trying to pick up on anything with a pair of tits by acting in a loud and obnoxious manner. This is usually quite humorous because Abercrombie's ads consist of blatantly homo erotic pornography.
Abercrombie is seen as a drain on our cultural society, because it provides a uniform for what the corporate mainstream deems "cool" and acceptable. Abercrombie wearing people are usually the first to stick their noses up at anyone with even a hint of individuality. Their clothes are often seen as blatant hypocrisy because even though, despite being fairly expensive, they come with a pre-distressed or ripped design, which could be easily duplicated on one's own, or by finding a similar product at a thrift store. In other words, uncreative people need a store to make their clothes "unique" for them.
Abercrombie is often hated on by the Hot Topic crowd, because of culture clashing, but Hot Topic employs the same marketing strategy, only to a different social subculture.
Although Abercrombie clothes are relatively boring, and forgettable, they are not usually of low quality. The disdain for the store has more to do with the preppy, snobbish, suburbanite, slutty, douchebaggedness attitude and lifestyle that goes with them.

Abercrombie is for redbull drinking, BMW driving, Lacrosse playing, Frat boys who are too stupid to stay in college.

A moose who was abandoned from his mother, and was soon adopted by Hugh Hefner. The moose was adopted around 1 year of age, and was soon named 'Abercrombie' after the store who uses a moose as a icon for the popular brand. The moose lives happily with Hugh and Hugh's girlfriends in their small zoo. Hugh has a zoo permit to keep wild animals, and he takes great special care of Abercrombie.
Hugh Hefner: Like the new baby moose I adopted?
Holly:OMG he is so cute!
Bridget:Whats his name?
Kendra:Name him Abercrombie after that store I love!

Abercrombie is a really preppy store. Some people like it, some don't. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people who shop there. I don't see why anyone should make fun of it. Preps don't make fun of goths. Why should goths make fun of preps? People who can't stand abercrombie are morons who have no lives.

a store with over priced clothes that all look the same and look as if they were already worn by a person who despised their jeans. the clothing items are covered in moose shit and the store reeks of the nasty abercrombie perfume. the workers tend to be stuck up and racist.
while walking in the mall...
person#1: "i hear music....its kinda 'boom boom boom'...ew! whats that smell?"
person#2 "we just walked by abercrombie "

1. However generally stereotyped by those who hate the people wearing it, the store is not there for the soul purpose to rip you off or label you, but to offer a different style of clothing. 2. It's not the store with the preppy attitudes, honies, it's the person wearing it. With or without the brand, I'm sure that person would have the same shitty personality. Heck, if the store were never around and people decided to like the look of clothes in GAP, then you would have to go and put THAT store down. Get a grip! Stop hatin the store...hate the one representin'. 3. Of course, the store may have workers with snooty attitudes, but god forbid that you wear it cause you like it and maybe change a few minds about it. Putting a shirt on with a logo won't make you a different person...people just wear what they like and or what they feel comfortable in. God...I like the store for the clothes...i think they're stylish and just my taste, but i also don't like some people that i've seen wearing those clothes. That doesn't mean i'm gonna riot about it and throw a tantrum, i'm just not going to associate with those people. Abercrombie haters need to grow up, step back and realize who's being the bigger person in the situation...the one being a bitch wearing the Abercrombie shirt or the one who can't stop making a big deal about it!!!
A&F girl: Hi. my name's Lisa and I'm new here. I don't have any friends, but you seem nice. Would you mind showing me around?
Hater: Hell no! Take that shirt off and then we'll talk.
A&F girl: I didn't think my shirt would i offend you. i saw it in the window while i was shopping and thought it was cute.
Hater: so's my ass...want it?
A&F girl: sorry
Hater: screw you, bitch
