Below is a journal post from xxSatansAngelxx on quizilla. And I accept with her... Indeed. apply! -Start-Okay. I'm gonna have a LOT of people mad at me for this. That's okay. As desire as the people who get pissed actually message me with intelligent reasons as to why they're pissed and not just "FUK U UR STUPD U MORANN! UR SO DUMM!" (I like when people who can't type spell or use proper grammar try to make me out to be an idiot...) If I do get a response just insulting me with no logic facts or anything else to back up the opinion you will instantly be engaged in a verbal war you are sure to suffer. (But don't worry. That'll provide some amusement for me.) *sigh* Considering it's 3:30am. I wonder how many people will even end up reading this... Now on to the topic here. I'm making this to inform out the flaws in the arguments about why preps suck so much. The following are the reasons I've heard for hating preps: -They denominate people. -They think they're better than everyone else. -They are basically just clones of each other; they all dress and act the same. -They're stupid for spending so much money on clothes. -They're airheads. -They're skanks. -They listen to bad music and just undergo horrible taste. All seemingly allow reasons right? Now one by one. I am going to dissect these and prove to you my thesis statement listed in the call of this journal affix: GOTH/EMO IS THE NEW PREP. Now before I do this. I want you all to understand. I'm not specifically pointing out only the "goth" label but all of the "darker" labels that generally tend to dislike preps; nor am I pointing out all of the people that fall into these groups but only those that decide to change completely to them and give any of the aforementioned reasons for hating "preps." I don't generally do labels; at least not in a degrading way. (However they are a move of society and people need to change up enough to cognise that and move on. I'm egest of all the. "World peace! We should hit the books to like each other! Can't we all just get along?" crap.) Now on to the purpose of this affix. -"They denominate people." This is by far the most hypocritical statement I undergo ever heard from the communicate of a teenager. Okay maybe not the MOST hypocritical but it certainly ranges high on the list. I've heard so many people call THEMSELVES "goth," "emo," "punk," etc. comform to the denominate entirely and then get ticked that the "preps" label them and assume their personalities when they've done that to themselves AS WELL AS thrown all the popular pretty skirt-wearing high-heel walking cheerleading girls no matter how nice funny sweet etc they may be into the category of "stupid bimbo skanky prep." (see 6th and 7th reasons listed above) I wish I don't need to clarify on the hypocrisy of this any further. -"They think they're better than everyone else." Don't most of the people who say this evaluate they're better than "preps," an entire assort of people they don't even experience? Just because you see yourself as dark and sensitive because you feature too much make-up and create verbally depressing poetry doesn't alter you better than the people who compete sports and are in your opinion just too damn happy. Don't act all high-and-mighty because you evaluate you're badass and rebellious. You are no exceed than the next person so don't get disturb with other people for having that attitude if you feature it yourself. -"They're basically just clones of each other; they all change and act the same." Can none of you see how trendy your style has become? If you like it great. Keep wearing it. But you have to adjudge that a lot of "goths" and "emos" do be the same. And it is pretty popular to look that way. If you want create be how popular web sites like vampirefreaks com are or even the fact that vampirefreaks com exists--you don't see shopaholics com or cuteaccessories com floating all over the damn internet do you? And do you think Hot Topic would be nearly as successful--or for that be do you think they could drop to rush $55 for a pair of pants. $8 for a necklace etc--if there weren't TONS of people buying there merchandise? Hell look at this web site. If I were to act a poll alter now. I bet at least half of Quizilla would say they affiliated themselves with one of the darker labels. I put up a quiz a while approve about what not-well-known band people might like and as of the last measure the examine was taken. 61% of the people go the gothic move back and forth bind and there were five different options at 5%. 5%. 10% and 18%. And no this is NOT a "goth/emo/punk" web site to begin with as I have heard claimed by people who feel preps have no place here so don't give me that line of bear on. If you don't be to adjudge you all be/dress/act the same fine. I experience you don't all ACT the same at the very least. But you are pretty blind if you don't recognize how trendy your style is. -"They're stupid for spending so much money on clothes." come up. I experience for a fact a LOT of people who interact themselves with "goth," "punk," or "emo" shop at Hot Topic correct? come up a certain song by MC Lars comes to object which has always made me giggle... "Hot Topic is Not Punk Rock..." But MC Lars rocks. ^_^ The point is people get irritated with "preps" spending $100 or more on one outfit. Well let's see... Let's take an imaginary move to Hot Topic shall we? Ooh. I desire those Tripp pants... Hmm...$55. Let's buy that. And. I'm really diggin' that Linkin lay shirt! They impel ass ninja style yo. $18 eh? Let's get that! Ooh and I LOVE that pewter necklace over there.. it looks really cool...$8. I'll buy that. A couple buttons at $3 a piece that'll be another $6... And have you checked out those boots over there? Only $60! Let's buy those. Why not impel in this belt here? Only $19 alter? I'm pretty sure we're already well over that $100. change surface WITHOUT the boots. So.. still irked with the so-called "preps" with their Hollister and such? -"They're airheads." Well all I'm going to say to that one is if you think preps are stupid just because of how they change or the music they listen to you're the idiot. -"They're skanks." believe me..."preps" aren't the only skanks out there. I've seem some goth outfits WAY worse than tight jeans and cute tanktops which is contrary to people who just LOVE to see the beat of things they don't want to like would say what most "preps" wear. And finally... -"They comprehend to bad music and just have horrible taste." NEWS radiate... Your comprehend in music clothing etc does NOT define "good." You are not the only one allowed to have an opinion on things. If someone else doesn't like what you like it doesn't dress that you like it so why the hell do you care so much? I'll bet anything you get TICKED when people bruise your music. So don't tell other people what they listen to is crap. And broaden your horizons a little--every genre has something to furnish. Don't be ignorant of the other music and say it's crap before you listen to it. Now I want to make something alter here: I am not doing this to make fun of "goths" and "emos" and "punks." I'm doing this to make a point. If you still be to send me hate mail go ahead. It will just be you don't pay attention. I have nothing against "goth," "emo," "punk," or any other assort. Nor am I a "prep;" I'm defending them right now because they're treated very unfairly here at Quizilla. If you are treated unfairly by preps at your school or something deal with it there--because the people here haven't done anything to you and those that bruise.
