Well, where to begin. First W.A.S.P. are not the only preps in the world,there are also B.A.C.P.(black american christian preps)<-- I proclaimed us that myself. Second being preppy is NOT A TREND!! It is lifestyle. Im black, a prep, and no im not one of those ghetto acting black people either. I am just as prep as the next preppy person, but only darker. And no true preppy black person wears aeropostale, hollister, or even abercrombie and "Fitch". The guys where vineyard vines, Lacoste, L.L. Bean, Brooks Brothers, Topsiders, Cole Haans, Polos always popped, Ralph Lauren, and especially Patagonia(for when there filling sporty). And trust me the more monograms the better. For the Girls Lacoste, Polos always popped, Lilly,Topsiders, L.L. Bean, Vineyard vines,Nantucket red, Eliza B, J.Crew, C.K. Bradley is a MUST, and basicly any other preppy clothing you can think of,and less make-up the better. We are well educated meaning top of the line schools usually private and our families usually belong to the Jack and Jill of America Foundation. And we normally summer in nantucket or the cape. Being preppy gets me many stares but i love my lifestyle and will always be preppy! So when you see a true black prep tip your collar by letting them know being preppy is the ultimate way of life.

Our sports include: Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Crew, and basketball, and Football.

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
