I guess there could be many different definitions when it comes to "trendies", but this is what they basically are at my school:<br><br>
The first thing you should know when it comes to trendies is that they travel in groups. However, this isn't because they want to seem intimidating or better than everyone else. It's simply because they like having people around them. These groups usually range from 3 to about 15 trendies. They don't hang out with people who aren't like them, but it's not that they're mean to them. They just ignore them. Unfortunately, many people don't like to be ignored, that is why trendies get a bad reputation amongst those that aren't, well, trendies.<br><br>
Guys: Are always, and I mean always, hot. All trendy guys have at least two girls in "love" with them. Some very lucky ones may have up to 20. They go through at least 10 girlfriends each year, but they usually make out with only one or even none. They listen to music ranging from pop-punk to hard rock, with the very uncommon exception of hip hop. Their report cards usually have about 3 As, 5 Bs, and at least 1 C, if not D or F, and if not more. At school, they're always with a group of other trendy guys. After school, they usually hang out on the curb with a small group of trendy girls, usually 2 to 4.<br>
As for how they look, it's not really hard to recognize them. They wear striped polos, sometimes over a long sleeved shirt, or fall out boy, my chemical romance, or green day t-shirts. (Honestly, those are the only bands.) As for their pants, they are usually tight jeans that fall just slighly over their shoes, that are always faded and sometimes ripped. They may sometimes wear shorts, that reach about an inch above their knees. Their shoes are their trademark. They are almost always skater shoes, DCs and Emericas being the most common. They may sometimes, but VERY rarely, be Vans. These shoes are always black and white, sometimes with the addition of red or dark blue. As for their hair, it usually reaches just below the ears, but is sometimes a bit longer. They ALL, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, know how to skateboard.<br><br>
Girls: Don't necessarily have to be hot, but guys still like them. Trendy girls usually have only 5 boyfriends each year, but make out with 4, if not all 5 of them. They'll listen to any music ranging from pop-punk to hip-hop. (That includes all pop and r&b.) They aren't much smarter than trendy guys, but their report cards are more often straight As and Bs, with a C sometimes. Ds and Fs are very uncommon.<br>
Their clothes are always branded. Abercrombie, Hollister, and PacSun (Roxy, Billabong, etc.) are the brands they'll usually wear. They love long, vintage tees and tight little sweaters. They wear incredibly tight jeans almost every day. Some of them may roll them up into capris. Just like guys' jeans, theirs are also always faded and sometimes ripped. Skirts are hardly ever worn, but if they are, they are 3 to 6 inches above the knees, and incredibly light and flippy. They are always layered, usually with 2, and sometimes 3 layers, and black or white. Hanging belts may sometimes be attached to the skirt on the hips, natural colors for white and metallic for black. Girls also wear skater shoes, most often black and pink or white DCs. Vans are a bit more common among them than the guys. Hair can be any length from 3 inches below the ears to halfway down the back. Streaks, preferably blond, are also very popular among trendy girls. Most of them CAN'T skateboard.

Word used by 'alternative' types to further shield themselves from the forbidden mainstream and put more barriers between themselves and the rest of the world.
Initially developed out of spite due to the likely verbal and physical attacks from 'chavs' or inebriated followers of mainstream activity, the term now seems to be applied with a sense of pride, to the extent of labelling and in some cases returning the verbal and physical abuse to the supposed 'trendy'.
The obvious irony in this statement is that, as is aforementioned, a select niche of society (namely, the alternative society)use this phrase almost exclusively (at least in this context) and yet they use it to somehow proclaim their individuality.
The truth, it would seem, is that it is an excuse. A way of excusing the fact that the populous don't like the way you look and the way you dress. They have their own reasons i'm sure, some well-founded, some slightly bigotted but still individual reasons that aren't incited by the media (no 'freak-bashing' music videos on MTV for example, or articles about how wrong dyeing your hair blue in the National Press). Due to this seemingly unanimous disapproval, this term is used to imply that the offending party doesn't like them because they are a trendy, and the accusing party is so out-there and hip and open-minded that the spoon-fed, publicised masses simply couldn't understand.
An element of denial is involed as well, the subculture referred to earlier has been created out of a need ot be accepted. The majority of the users of this term have not been accepted generally by their peers and seek others to share this feeling. The numbers rise and rise and before you know it, we have a group large enough to huddle together in there issues with other people and shield themselves from it with boundaries, borders, narrow-mindedness and phrases such as this.
They believe that they are doing what they do becuase they don't like what has been 'dealt' to them and are un-impressed with their peers, their government and their country in general, but that is a fantasy (too much Bad Religion can go to your head ;)). It is largely due to the fact that their extreme sense of dress WILL be accepted by a much smaller section of society, and therefore they can join the huddle. Rather like penguins.
In short, if you call someone a trendy and mean half of the emotive and spiteful definitions listed here, chances are you deserve to be treated with the same narrow-mindedness that you treat the rest of the world with.

'look at that popular brand t-shirt. That guy must be a trendy! I bet he listens to #1 song and likes #1 game and wears other popular brand'
(this can all, of course, be denoted from what the guy wears)
