LexiDizzle funny u say that. There exists genres like Metalcore (e.g. Architects and While She Sleeps)(hardcore punk + metal) And then there's Heavy Hardcore Punk (like Kublai Khan) What's defined as heavy or hard is very... Multi-defined, with a lot of crossover. And then Deathcore comes in and muddles everything (Hardcore Death Metal) (e.g. Thy Art is Murder and Chelsea Grin)

I’ve always thought of “nerd” and “geek” in reverse of what the video says. Nerds are the smart kids who get good grades, while geeks are into something more specific like computers (computer geek) or music (band geek). Nerds are good at all things academic, while geeks are good at one or two specific academic fields.

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

Nerds, geeks, greasers, mean girls, jocks, preps and ripsters are gone. Jakepaulers, the internet, incels, memers, animators, 9 year olds, griefers, social justice warriors, right centrists, gamers, kekistanese and what not were born. And there is animosity or brotherhood between groups based on ideologies. Basically they do the same as we did, just with a different base method and a little pinch of old school politics.

While there were artsy kids, the "theatre kids" and whatnot they weren't too many at my school, our rival school had more artsy than we did, almost as much as they had the preppy kids. Preps- the Preppies the "in" crowd, the "popular group", Cheerleaders, Mean girls, Prom queen ect, They were said to have fashion sense, preferred pop rock, would tolerate country. Picked on Headbangers & Geeks Jocks- athletes ' all males, as there were no female teams (at school, not in general) back then not even swim team, Cheerleaders and dance class was only choice for any girl wanting physical activity, and cheerleaders were folded into Preps Friends with ropers, dated preppie girls. hated Headbangers and picked on Geeks. Ropers- refers to 'roping' done in rodeos- covers the country music fans, students of 4H (dealt with farming, ranch hands ect) They loved the cowboy boot and hats, drove pickup trucks. Headbangers- names comes from the Heavy Metal & Hard Rock fans and how they 'head banged' while listening to music, Purposely torn jeans, concert t-shirts, wild make-up (for boys & girls) love to mock Jocks & Preps due to their "better than thou" behavior. Didn't like Ropers due to music difference XD no really it was Ropers would team up with other two clicks to pick on others. Geeks- also included nerds, back in 80s they were interchangeable- the unpopular kids, often seen as the smart ones, though some Preppies were also in the smarts. If smart would find a Headbanger friend to act as buffer against other clicks. Headbangers & Geeks would get together to play D'n'D. Switching between the clicks was often hard due to the animosity between them If someone was branded a Geek, Nerd or Headbanger in early High School years, it would stick with them for rest of the year. Because Headbangers would include them, some Geeks had easy time to switch over and become Headbangers.

Dome morr things to add about hipsters: Hipsters were also named possibly because of the style of pants they wore - tight fitting hipster jeans became quite popular in the crowd. In the late 2000s the emerging clothing style trend became popularised as "geek chic" in some circles, predominately the thick black glasses, red plaid collared shirts and long messy hair (with/without iconic beanie). There are also variations of the hipster stereotype, with a "preppy" style of hipster sharing many characteristics of both preppy kids and hipsters, with a focus on personal success and rejection of the idea/self calling of being a 'hipster' - the niches they find in their hobbies/work are often quite unique, specific and not well known amongst the general population (at least back then). Thought to share! Gteat video really enjoyed it.

You got nerds and geeks backwards. Rhett and Links old Rap Battle: Nerd vs Geeks is actually really helpful in explaining this.

I fit into three of these, nerd unsurprisingly and thespian, but this taught me that apparently I am also a hipster, I hit every checkmark you listed in the stereotype except for facial he (though one could argue I make up for that one by growing my hair out long) so that's really neat

Despite the abundance of high school media here in Japan, I can’t exactly recall any specific high school tropes that aren’t copy-pasted from other slice of life media and/or generally are defined by their relation to the protagonist (tsundere, childhood friend, baby faced girl...). I think. Or it might just be a midnight brain fart. There’s also stuff like the coolheaded, glasses-wearing Prodigy/Yuutousei, the Science Kid (possibly an offshoot of The Yuutousei), the Overly Powerful Student Council President, The Banchou or The Yankee/Delinquent with a pompadour, sunglasses, and leather jacket (think greasers; less present the more modern the media is), The Rich Kid, the idol (the most cheerful, bubbly, attractive nice girl), maybe The Otaku, occasionally there’s a random white foreign exchange student (though there may be one from Osaka instead) to spice things up, and... actually, thinking about it, clubs are often used for putting high schoolers into tropes; the kendo kid is traditionally Japanese and generally badass, the traditional sportsmen (track and field, baseball, soccer...) are cheerful, hotblooded, determined, and generally great guys to be around, the ones in the occult clubs are a bit weird and equivalent to “emo” kids in western media, The Newspaper Club Kid is exposition incarnate, there’s at times a club made up of slightly creepy Otaku (like a Maid Cafe club). Though the clubs often have shows of their own (K-On is about the high school band, Haruhi Suzumiya is about a supernatural club, the oodles of sports anime, etc.). I think a unique thing about Japanese high school in contrast to American ones in pop culture are that the popular kids aren’t the jocks. The most admired kids are The Yuutousei, the Student Council President, or depending on the setting, the rich jerks whose parents bought up the place, I.e. your Mean Girls (and often the love interest. See: Boys Before Flowers. That story is basically what happens if you take a Mean Girl posse, flip their genders, and make the heroine end up with the Alpha Bitch. If not you’ll probably find your Mean Girl in the student council). Well actually jocks are popular, but they’re seen as charismatic and fun, not big, dumb bullies. Generally high school is pretty romanticized too, with less emphasis on drama and more on idealized romance, and I think these archetypes reflect them (and IMO it makes way more sense that people who are actually nice are popular. Except for the mean girl but I don’t think people actually like them). The role of bully can probably be more conflated into The Delinquent if there are no Mean Girls, though they are honorable thug types half the time. But in elementary school shows you’ll sometimes find what I like to call “The Gian”, the fat bully, especially in older shows.

The irony of the use of "Gothic" to describe an ostensibly more primitive, less enlightened era is doubly ironic given that not only were the Visigoths were among the foremost preservers of Roman material culture and infrastructure, but the architecture typically referred to as Gothic was often constructed using Roman building methods despite hewing to slightly different architectural and aesthetic principles. Heck, the key literary languages all came from the Eastern and Western Empires: Church Latin, Byzantine Greek, Old Church Slavonic...

Nerd is someone who is REALLY into technology and has practical skills. Ie a computer nerd is someone who is in good at computers in a practical way. Geeks are people who are just into certain aspects of culture. But are seen as not having a useful skill. Ie a computer geek is someone into computer games only. You see this in other places too, a band nerd is someone who is into music and has a lot of talent while a band geek is someone who is into the band culture.

Growing up in a small American school we still used these terms, but it was super unclear who belonged to what label. Many of us were in all the different activities. Based on my electives and extracurriculars, I was a nerd/ band geek/ jock/ thespian/ metal head/ otaku; but I never identified with most of these terms.

It is rather the opposite of what you said , Nerds are the ones who are really smart and have scientific knowledge and would dress ordinarily while the geeks are the ones who get their knowledge from pop-culture and have interest in computers as well as sci-fi, video games (often retro games) and superheroes, fantasy /board games. Both are similar and they tend to overlap.

I went to a public high school, so there was no uniform requirement, but showed up every school day with the same few t-shirts promoting a local radio station. Classmates, teachers, and other staff knew me for it. You could say that was my "uniform".

Heck yeah I'd like to see that video about music genre names.

1:20 to answer this question, yes they had existed although maybe a little exaggerated, the absolute truest thing being that there was and still is cliques. Half the stereotypes like the jock, emo, goth died out in the last decade or so but they can still be seen or have become a different form of stereotype like just being popular or an average student.

Simpsons, Mean Girls, Superbad, and IT Crowd all in a video by one of my favorite KZreadrs? I love it! Also Xidnaf! I haven't watched his videos in a while.

Yes! a history of music genre names would be awesome!

There aren't really popular people anymore. Some people are more known, but everyone is in much smaller groups. There's the people know one really interacts with because we don't know them (maybe from a different school), and many friend groups. I have my small friend group of people I've known and been friends with for years, and there's tiny friendships with the people I sit next to ("friends" as in we know each other's names and we sometimes talk about something that isn't a project we're working on in class). There aren't really bullies anymore. The worst that will happen is someone says you're annoying or weird.

I grew up in rural northern England where we had a three-school system, of First, Middle and High School, so not all of the UK use Secondary school.

Yes, please do the music genre video. I've always differentiated nerds and geeks by how they approach the subjects they are into. Geeks seem to love tinkering and modding along with debating things that seem trivial to others. An example would be someone who argues passionately about why Android is better than iPhone based upon specs or who came up with what first and so. To me, it's similar to people with their tuner cars or vaping equipment. Nerds, on the other hand, seem more interested in research and application in search of how whatever they are into works as well as how to improve it. I think one possible example of the differences might be Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Woz was all about the mod aspects of the machines whereas Jobs was more about how to bring it to the public. It's not a perfect analogy but I think it works.

I know some groups in german. "Kiffer" who are the ones who smoke weed, "kiffen" means smoking weed. In east germany we have Simson gangs. Simson was a company that made motorollers. And their motorollers are popular among teens, because your allowed to drive faster with them than every other motoroller.

Having just left secondary school (I’m British), I saw a lot of indie kids and emos coming into school in my last 2 years, and there’s a load of them in my college. Apart from them, most of us wore trackies and north face puffers. Not many uk schools have “cliques” as far as I know, but just groups of friends.

In radio jock is commonly short for disc jockey.I told people I was a jock at the station where I worked,they had no idea what I meant.
