Word originated from northeastern preparatory school uniforms. In modern use, refers to teenagers intrested in upper class clothing and materialistic goods. "Prep" attire includes shirts, polos, ripped jeans, and such. Cheap "knockoff" prep brands include Aeropostale and American Eagle (polos, $20-$30). Medium prep brands include Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch (polos, $30-$50). True prep brands include Ralph Lauren and Lacoste (polos, $65-$80). High-end department stores, such as Nordstrom's and Bloomingdale's often carry real "preppy" clothing. "Prep" refers to the way one presents themselves. Many such preps will often "pop" their collar. Many believe this looks stupid, but the polo shirt was invented by Renee Lacoste, and the collar was designed to be popped to protect the neck from the sunlight while playing tennis. A common misconception is the stereotype that all "Preps" are dumb and ditzy. Although many are snotty and dumb, many are nice and intelligent. Female preps can often be associated with the word Jap (Jewish American Princess).
Non-prep: You spent $80 on a new shirt?!
Prep: Yeah, its really nice!
Non-prep: Ugh, you are such a prep!

A prep is NOT someone who shops at A&F and not just someone who wears collored shirts. Prep is a lie style. You can't just decide to be it one day. You are born into it.

Speaking on behalf of most preps, i am here to tell u the false stereotypes about preps
1.)Preps DO NOT hate anyone that isnt like them. they just dont, i and many i know have friends that are goth/emo/punk etc.
2.)all Preps DO NOT listen to pop/rap/hip hop music, its false, as a matter of fact, abercrombie, hollister, and american eagle all play mainly rock in their stores, and there isnt one kind of music all preps listen to
3.)preps DO NOT use words like "wow" and "like" and "omg" all the time, there is no truth to that, it is a widely believed stereotype that is false
4.)all preppy girls ARE NOT slutty/bitchy,another fake stereotype, all groups of people have their sluts and bitches, not one specific group
5.)one of the ones that pisses me off the most....all preps ARE NOT!!!! stuck up and snobby, god dammit, there is no truth to that,we just like to hang out with friends and have fun just like anyone, just cuz we pay more for cloths doesnt make us "snobby" so yea
I think ive covered most of what was needed

goth:i like goth music
scumbag:i like goth music

scumbag: hi guys!
