We like to pigeonhole people and, too often, this stereotyping leads to prejudicial thinking. The fellow who slinks into class dressed all in black must be a goth; the one who is just a little too dressed up is surely a prep; that person who digs the books and spends all his time on a computer is a terrible nerd, and the confident athlete is a real jock.

People think of goths as wearers of black and users of white makeup. Terms that have been applied to them include depressed, suicidal, Satanists, vampires.

A prep is one who appears clean-cut and strives to appear better off financially than others in a middle class environment.

There is a strong correlation between being smart and being a nerd, and an even stronger inverse correlation between being a nerd and being popular.

A jock is an athlete, often thought of as the "big man on campus." Sometimes he is thought of as having more brawn than brains.
