HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL - PART 6Kids' Cliques Then and Now
2006 (cont'd)
 Punks:
There are only a few punks and they kind of fade into the goth kids. They all get their shit at Hot Topic and are only into “classic” bands like Dead Kennedys. The whole thing is really fake and contrived. They’ll dye their greasy hair blue or green then go hang out at the mall to try to wig people out.
Asians/Indians:
These guys make up nearly 40 percent of my school and all their parents are fucking rich. They’re all kind of nerdy and stress out about getting into an Ivy League school. The slightly less nerdy ones like to dress really flashy in Armani Exchange stuff and drive around in their parents’ BMWs and Mercedes blaring mainstream rap. The nerdy ones are buried in their schoolwork. That’s seriously all they ever do. The guys don’t shave at all, and they’ll just buzz their hair like once every couple weeks so they don’t have to deal with it. Both the guys and the girls wear like button-up shirts and regular jeans or khakis with old beat-up sneakers. They’re the only group that really doesn’t smoke and—completely serious here—they’re really into classical music. |

Goths/Nü Metallers:
These guys say they do a bunch of different drugs like E or acid or shrooms, but it’s all a lie. The biggest deal with them right now is Slipknot, and they’ll generally wear a really big t-shirt with skulls on it with black baggy jeans and vans. They try to grow their hair out to be cool, but then they brush it really straight and part it down the center so it kills it. |

Ultimate Losers:
They aren’t poor but they dress really shabby, like in the same clothes they’ve been wearing since middle school, all worn-out with holes in them, and spike up their hair like in second grade. It seems like they’re caught in a time warp from like the end of elementary school. These guys are the bottom of the food chain.

oh the fat alternagirls, the main staple of my social life in grade 9. that skater dude at the top is scary though, one fake marijuana cigarette and mall lurking pedo later and its a fucking disaster when you couple in his tendencies from the hockey change room, but once rap got big it was all immediately shoved back in the closet, about a deep as he’d try to get a dick up your ass on the down low. and the utter decadence of of early 2000’s mainstream rap only makes him feel entitled to every material thing a tv ad told him to buy, its like watching those morbidly obese people inhale food all day, but with a shit eating grin. | | Anonymous, on Apr 21, 2009 wrote:
