Well from my understanding, preps are popular, and dress nice. Punks dress in band shirt and act stupid. Well that's not really what I think, but it's just the overall label that everyone deep in their mind thinks. I personally think Preps and Punks are different in the clothes they wear and that's it. I don't think that they act different or anything.
Preps dress in Abercrombie, Hollister, Sean
John, Ecko, that kinda thing. Punks dress in
Band Shirts like System of A Down, Puddle of
Mudd, Chevelle, all those type of Punk bands. What is the TRUE definition of Punk and Prep?

Well,there is really no true defination 4 punk or prep's!!!Everyone or someone is probably one of those,and probably could tell u what their defination is!UNLESS......U go in the back of the GLOSSARY!!!

what r u talking about

I like Nirvana...but I'm no punk.

Punks are people who claim to be punks. You never hear of someone proudly proclaiming to be a prep. No, they just show it off with sweater-vests and plaid golf shorts. And popped collars, although I knew a lot of non-preps who wore their shirts like that...

I also think it's kind of funny how punks in high school dress a certain way in order to be rebellious, but when they hit college, they dress normally and join Greenpeace or something. Rebelliousness in high school is a lot different than it is in college, it would seem.

Maybe like Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Godsmack etc.

That's what people normally think, well for the punk sides at least. But to say they act stupid. That's a stupid thing to say. Being considered a punk is not just about how they dress either. Well anyway; Being considered a punk i'll tell you the typical stereotype for us.
Punks- Rebelous, folks who tend to show their opinions, emotions, thoughts more then most. A lot listen to 'hardcore' bands.. Maybe like Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Godsmack etc. That's almost the exact thing I heard one of the kids at my school say. Oh but he did say something about us being really stupid and spoiled kids who can't learn to grow up.

Preps arn't exactly my crowd, so i'll... translate them as good as I can

Preps- People who are basically High on life. And who tend to be of the athletic 'popular' type people.

(Hoping none of this offends anyone, somehow)

Because some people are attracted to a dark...err... mysterious type?

When it was suddenly cool to act mentally disturbed, aka: depressed.

maybe true. but like i said when did this whole "emo" stage come to light??

It is.

I was under the impression that goth was goth gone horribly wrong.

when did emo come around anyway? i remember back when i was in highschool there was no such thing as emo. emo seems like goth gone horribly wrong.

Thank you for bringing us this vital clarification just shy of two years after the fact.

Twat.

dont listen to him punk is how you act the way you feel not the way you dress we dress diferent to be different from preps and every one else o and AFI is not punk its gay and emo is no way related to punk in any way

It's hard to define a punk since the genre has gotten so broad. Hardcore, Pop Punk, Goth, Emo can and is still concidered punk. And in my experience preps are ones that try hard in school. Its not that punks are dumb, they just really don't care about high school. if you talk to some of them they have some pretty deep philosophies about life

B.T.W. people are always calling me punk so i guess the shoe fits. And the bands you mentioned are more alternative rock. Punk would be more like Rancid, AFI, Sex Pistols, Antidote etc.

By the way, i'm considered a prep..
