The Amazing RANDO (theamazingrando) wrote in fandom_wank,
@ 2004-04-14 22:34:00

"YAY! DEATH TO PREPS!!"

It all starts when Sakaia posts two "anti-prep" poems in the writer's forum. The first few responses are the usual "omg preps suck lol" but then Daelik comments...

"I hate people who complain about "preps". As if by complaining about their HAIR and their CLOTHES you were hitting something true and honest.

Get the hell over high school."

Wank erupts. The wank mainly comes from Katana Yurashma who is SO MISUNDERSTOOD OMG. She first posts her crappy poem and then attacks everyone. When Daelik mocks her poem she calls her a prep. What a surprise.

She also doesn't seem to know the definition of "lable":

"you say we slap "labels" on people. We just came up with a name for them. How else do we refer to specific people whom we just want to strangle? I dont know about you but I'm not a peace keeping, gung ho person. No offence. I admit my flaws. I am a violent, prep hating young adult with a liscence, but do I care? No. No one else seems to. The "preps" as we call them, are like a bad itch. You think they're gone by the time you get out of highschool, but they still come back...."

My first thought: OMFG she's out of high school??

The mess is here.

The sad thing is that parts of the second one are good... the last 5 lines it rather crashes and burns, though.

The first poem... *vbeg* reminds me of a song my best friend and I wrote in 7th grade when we hated all cheerleaders called "Cheerleader Flambeau", so I have trouble beliving this girl is out of 10th grade, much less high school.

(Link is to the version I remembered, but if one scrolls into the comments Drew's updated version is visible at the bottom.)

No, by the time you get out of high school, people have usually outgrown labeling each other...

When I was in 5th grade, a girl went around asking everyone..."When you get to middle school, are you going to be a banger, a rapper or a wannabe?"

I think of her with a nostalgic smile when I read these posts.

I find that depressing. Because I was always kinda of the mind that once we left high school, that crap disappeared. But then I watch Elima-date and I see that nothing has really changed that much, the bitchy nasty girls in high school grow up to be bitchy nasty women. It's the rest of us that move on.

At least I thought so until I saw that. =p

Although, what the hell kind of post-high school person would still identify as a prep?

Dude, I only have the slightest idea of what the hell one is. Is it anything like 'yuppie'? (Obviously Australian high schools - or at least mine - were much less about the conveniently labelled groups and much more about the vicious, thoroughly-enforced stigma of your own specific personal crapness. Small enough to have an individual pecking order, I guess.)

Self-Identifiers. I guess there are some people who just don't fit into the political or commercial demographic groups set up by the professionals. Soccer Moms. DINKS. Young Urban Professionals (Ahem, YUPpies). Bohemian artistes.

They have to revert to what they knew before or be left out. It's not really High School Behavior per say. It's more the behavior of the weak looking to be defended by the strength of the larger pack - Even if the pack is only in their mind. They find comfort in belonging, somehow.

Heh. I made wank. *splurt*

An interesting point, Daelik...why would you mock superficiality? Isn't such an act, in itself, relatively superficial?

Boyo (Girlo?), you are genius. You have turned argument upside and down and are thus omgWINNAH. Have a cookie.

Also:

and then you didn't listen to the cries,
of a mentally wounded child,

/[...]The rich have always had it easy
The poor fight to stay alive
But in the middle of a crisis
They don't know how to survive
So listen up, all you shoppers
Of Abercrombie & Fitch
Everyone has to suffer
Cuz realit's a bitch! /

As someone who's been to both Abercombie and Hot Topic, I can say both are in the same price range (too damn much). The suffering also seems to be evenly distributed, but the other side's is funny, and therefore doesn't count.

I don't know what happens in that magical summer between senior year and college that makes you no longer give a shit. Maybe you no longer gave one shortly after senior year started, but didn't realize it because of the lingering bad blood over when that bitch Stacy spat in your milk in 8th grade while you were reading your Gaiman comic, then turned you in to Mrs. Sails 'cause it had boobies innit. Damned preps and their Plastic Barbie Milk Spitting Poseur Narcage.

Or maybe that's just me.

*cough*

It's really amusing to experience this stuff RL. My sister constantly complains about the joy of being popular. Seeing it online makes me think of her ~~and want to kill something.~~

Ah, high school. Those were the good ol' days. Why, it was only yesterday when we would sit at our table faaaaaaar away from the "preps" and the "skaters" and mock the whole cafeteria.

*sniff* I'm getting all ~~veklemp~~ nostalgic...

The poems are fine, the timings just off a bit in a few lines, but poetic license entitles you to that.

No, no, NO, you stupid twit. Poetic license is the liberty of playing fast and loose with facts to make them dramatically satisfying. Poetic license is NOT en excuse to slap down shit on paper and pretend it's a poem even though you have no real structure, theme, or imagery.

Also, those poems suck balls.
