high school strereotypes

yeah so dress up days are cool. preppy day received good response. preppy, popular girls who im not even friends with stopped me in the hall and told me that i looked adorable and that i should dress like that more often. maybe they werent mad because they thought i was flattering them? maybe they realize theyre not individuals so it doesnt matter if someone dresses like them. or maybe theyre just too dumb to realize that i was making fun of them.

goth day was awesome because i totally scared everyone. the 'real' goths gave me a double take, like why is this girl stealing my clothes? im an individual! no one can copy the way i dress! hah well. but point being the stereotypical goths were annoyed that i was impersonating them, stealing their style that they believe makes them utterly unique and cool.

scene day. i pulled it off beautifully and got mixed reactions. some scene kids like fets, morgan (my scene-ior friend), and aly found it hilarious. most of them didnt. you know all those stupid scene freshmen? they were mad. they gave me the look up and down in disbelief. after all, you have to be really unique to have the same haircut, same shirt, same bows, and same shoes as absolutely everyone else. so the ones who realize that scene is pretty much dumb but has cute clothes laughed, the ones who think of scene as a lifestyle were pissed.

so what have i learned from this? first, i can pull of all three of these stereotypes quite nicely. second, preppy people love it when you emulate their style of dress. they see it as flattery, i guess, not copying them or making fun of them. goths are close-minded and generally are very mad when you dress like them. i guess this is because goth is supposed to be this unique, i am so different from everyone else so leave me alone! style. scene kids are varied. some realize that scene isnt a lifestyle, just some clothes, but some really think that dressing the way they do makes them above everything.

next experiment? go to the mall with each of these stereotypical looks and see which one gets me the most attention from the opposite sex. but then again its me, so ill still probably get the same stoned guys who cant even walk straight.
