Preps are usually known as teenagers who shop at aeropostale, abercrombie, hollister, and american eagle. The actual definition of prep is someone who goes to a prepratory school. Preps usually are nice to all people except nerds.
You will usually see them wearing polos or shirts with brands on them. They usually wear make up, but not alot. They always try to do different hairstyle and look as best as possible.
The girls are really involved in cheerleading or some kind of school activity. The guys are usually on the football team or involved with school. Most of them are shallow.
Alot of people agree that preps wear the clothes that they do because the majority of the school is also wearing that because its popular and they are affraid to try their own style. You will never catch a prep dead wearing sweat pants to school.

A prep is usually a female that thinks she's better than another. They usually have preppy type names such as:ANYA, Josh, Jacob, Brittany. They have lots of preps up in the Washington DC area. They're really just a bunch of crazy people, if you ask me.
Such a prep....

for those of you who think preps are rich snobby bitches, your totally wrong. firstly, even though we wear abercrombie/hollister/american eagle etc. doesnt mean anything. we just like that style of clothing. secondly, we dont over do our make up. thirdly, yes we might own coaches, louis vittons, burberrys, etc. but were not like rubbing it in ppl's faces. we are not bitches, were actaully reallly nice. were very cheerful, but thats just our personality. so dont judge us, and we wont judge you.
girl 1: hey ash, whats up?
girl 2: nothing really. you wanna go hang out at the mall?
girl 1: sure!

First of all I would like to agree that there is an archetype for preps.
Guys-White, Sports, works out, skips class, wears multiple layers of clothes regardless of season, expensive phones, money, cologne
Girls-White or Asian, cheerleader, makeup, skirts, revealing clothes, airhead, mean, perfume, rich daddies
Faves-A&F, AE, Hollister, LL Bean, RL Polo, Tommy Hilfiger
I totally agree that a majority of preps fit in with those.
If you go by that, you can find just as many people that you wouldnt call a prep that go by those guidelines. My best friend is rich as hell, wears A&F, has fake sports team shirts, and works out, but I would never lable him as a prep.
As for me, I'm a middle-class, asian, ex-nerd, prep.
Here's proof:
$60 Relic Watch
$30 Lee Jeans Shorts (one of the cheapest things I have)
$50 Muscle Polo from Abercrombie & Fitch
$15 Belt from American Eagle
$20 Undershirt from some store in Alaska
Looking at this, you might say I'm rich. I'd say you're wrong. Some people, a lot of preps actually, have discovered a method of purchasing items called SAVING. I get about 20 dollars a week that I have to work for, and I get 100 dollars for my birthday and 150 for christmas. I have to buy all of my clothes and everything. I saved up, and over time, I was able to buy all this stuff.
I am not a rich fucker. I am not an idiot. I am not white. I do not have a car. Sure I wear the same clothes as all the other preps. At least we shop from maybe 10 different stores, as opposed to the gothic Hot Topic or the unknown void where nerds find their clothes and gear.
I used to be a nerd. I think, in general, preps are a group of people who can actually look at a group of people and actually understand who is a nerd, who is a prep, and who is emo. Most nerds don't choose to be nerdy, they just are. They don't know what is generally considered cool. I used to be one so I would know. Preps hang with preps and avoid nerds and emo, just like nerds and emo avoid preps.
Judging by that, why don't we take a second to think about why preps are the center of hating and not goths or nerds. Everyone talks about goths or nerds, but they dont really care because goths and nerds dont matter to them. Most people's dreams are to be a prep, and that's why they concentrate on hating preps.

Prep: Dude let's go to A&F, away from those nerds and goths.
Goth: Dude let's go cut ourselves in that alley, away from those preps and nerds. (yes, goths do cut themselves)
Nerd: Let's go to my house and play Dungeons and Dragons!

okay.
a prep.
is not a bad person. its just a label. just like goth jock skater and emo are labels.
a prep person is usually...
NO!
im not gonna list what they are or do. Cause not all preps ARE what most stereotypes say they are.
personally.
i AM a prep.
and i hang around preppy people. BUT i also have emo goth skater and all other kinds of friends i chill with.
for me a prep can be :
high tempo; bubbly; OR depressed; naturally cool.
wear pink all he time like OMG!; wear all colors. even dun dun dun...BLACK!
play sports like soccer lacrosse or field hockey; dont play sports at all.
there are ALL types of preps. preps at YOUR school may be different from preps at another school. so yo can't hate them all.
