can be groups or "packs" of people, most commonly high-school students, who are defined by the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, the hobbies they undertake etc. Think typical stereotypes such as emos, punks, goths, sluts, preps, geeks and the like. Each clique will often have a definitive style of clothing, music, hobby etc. Over time, the terms may become overused and this results in people having misconceptions about each of the said groups, or automatically classifying someone as a memeber of the group just because of what they choose to listen to, wear, or do.
Cliques and their (over the top? negative?) labels: Emos cut themselves and cry over the littlest things. Punks are rebels. Goths wear black. Sluts f*** anything that moves. Preps wear collared shirts and knee-high white socks. Geeks sit in the library all day.

a group of people who hang around each other because they belong to the same sterotypical group (ex- goths, emos, preps, nerds, skaters etc).
they hate rival cliques, like preps hate emos and goths, nerds hate jocks and skaters and goths hate everyone.
pretty much the stupidest thing in middle school and high school history.

Groups of people (generally in middle and high school) that generally act and dress similar based on factors such as wealth, music, etc. Examples of this are: preps, goths, skaters, posers, and anyone who labels themselves. While in middle and high school, these groups have many people in them, but it starts to fade away in the late high school days, when people look back on themselves and say: "Wow, that was retarted."
The cliques were soon abandoned after high school ended when people realized how retarted they were.

Why i wish i wasn't a teenager.
A group, typically of teens, who exclude all who don't fit into their stereotypical image of perfection, and conform to all the rules of this "perfection". Often think they are showing outstanding originality and individuality, when they are in fact exactly the same. And this is the same for all subcultures. Usually hate "opposing" clique for no good reason other than they perceive/have been told that this is the right thing to do. Like to label people, so they don't have to regard each human as an individual.
