Subculture: Preppy :)

Many youth have heard of the term: Preppy. In our society the term "preppy"
 is used mostly to describe others who are usually always energized or happy,
enunciate words, and wear sweaters tighed around their necks. Preppy derived
from the term prepatory schools (usually located in northeastern America). These
kids usually act, dress, and speak a specific way.

Unlike some subcultures the term now usually denotes a dresscode preference
rather than a lifestyle. Movies such as John Hughs, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen
Candles, and Pretty in Pink were produced in the 80's and depicted the preps of
the 80's (when the term "preppy" was born).

I personally have been called preppy, and at first took offense. Every subculture
has a stereotype, and many ignorant people dont know where the term originated from.
A prep was considered someone who was well educated and attended private schools.
Before you take offense to what someone calls you, always remember to do you research;
what someone intended to be an insult, really could be a complement.
