• A group of teenagers in high school that for some reason are mysteriously known as the most important kids in the school, usually without the rest of the student bodies knowledge as to how and when this even happened. Was there some kind of secret meeting that everyone held? Was there a note passed around the entire school? No ones sure. The only thing everyone does know is that somehow these kids are the chosen ones, and now we all have to go with it.
    While it all is a bit of a mystery, there usually are defining characteristics of all these chosen ones. It depends on the school, but more often than not the popular kids are either rich, good looking, involved heavily in school and especially in the athletics department, funny, snobby, uninterested in the non chosen ones (or mean to them), or a combination of any of the above. The popular girls are usually either on the cheerleading or dance team, or possibly excell in athletics such as track or basketball. Popular guys are most often jocks on the football and basketball teams. The average popular kid can be smart or dumb, a partier or not. In actuality the majority of them do party, but for some reason the girls are usually less open about it. This usually has to do with keeping their status squeaky clean. This isnt usually the case for the guys, as many of the popular guys boast about drinking 5 beers and playing 2 rounds of beer pong in some kids basement and having the craziest weekend ever. However, this isnt always the case as sometimes there is another, more hard core group of partiers at the high school that is also popular as well and known for getting fucked up often. The popular kids often dont work as their mommy and daddy often throw handfuls of cash at them so they can be seen looking fly at friday nights game. They often drive expensive cars their parents bought them, and fly through the neighborhoods blasting rap even though they live in suburbia.

  • One of the biggest cliches in todays culture. Silly getting-back-at-you high school chick flicks usually portray the popular girls as blonde bombshells who gabble on their cellphones and say like as their every other word.
    Im not defending the popular girls here. I wish theyd be a bit more inclusive. What Im talking about is the silly unpopular girls who like to pretend theyre misunderstood and that the popular girls are the Evil Clique in the aforementioned chick flicks. They pretend theyre being bullied or pushed around, and hog sympathy. These are the ones who drive me mad.
    Equally annoying are the non-conformists who join a subculture of millions to be individuals. But thats another story.

    Popular meaning & definition 5 of Popular.


  • Popular is characteristic of someone who is really nice to everyone, even if they are mean to them. Popular means to have many friends, and be liked by basically everyone, except those jealous. A popular person lends text books, hangs out with nerds if they want to, doesnt care what other people think of them, dresses how they feel like,(usually nice because they care whether their clothes are covered in grease stains or not), and regrets ever being stuck up, a snob, a bich to someone or being mean. Someone becomes popular by being kind to everyone, cause no one likes being bitched at. People always think that they have to be gorgeous, dress preppy and be a bitch to be popular. When really, if you dont think your that great looking, you dont dress preppy, but your kind to everyone and have a great personality, id have to call you more popular than a cheerleader or jock. Also, if you think that a gorgeous cheerleader is popular, but shes a bitch to you, chances is, shes not popular, people are just too afriad to stand up to her.

    Popular meaning & definition 6 of Popular.


  • this word is often misused and has negative connotations. in reality, popular (when referring to a person) is when someone is very well liked and has a lot of genuine friends, most likely because they are a nice/friendly person. However, through the media and highschools around america, popular has grown to describe a certain group of people. these people, like punks, nerds, etc. have their own social code, which usually (but not always) includes expensive items/services, sports teams, and cheerleading. These people are not necessarily popular, yes some of them genuinly are well liked and have lots of friends becuase they too (gasp) are nice people. but some of them unfortunately are under the false impression that they are better than everyone else because of their possesions and friends/boyfriends/girlfriends, (who to these people also count as possesions).
