You know what I can't understand? Why do colors immediatly put you into a category? Like, when you think of pink, you think of preps, right? Why is that? Because the color is happy? Or for instance, when we think of black, or any dark color, we think "goth" correct?
In simpler terms, why do we associate bright colors with preps, and dark colors with goths? Personally, I find it irritating. I'll find a yellow shirt that a like, one thats not "cute with prancing ponies" or something, and when I wear it to school my friends look at me like I'm stupid and laugh, all because of a shirt color.
And another thing. When did this all start? And who started it? Who came up with the defination of prep, and who came up with the difination of goth? And why did they come up with it in the first place?
Please post your replies here, I like reading replies for topics I create about things ^^;
