Underground Popular

Tagged:  •    •  

Underground Popular, that pretty much describes my social life. Underground popular means that you are friends with the most popular kids, they think you're cool, but you're not main stream popular (IE hot girls don't want to be seen with you.) I find that the reason that I'm not main stream is that I don't party like a fool. I don't know about anyone else but parties at my school are lame. It's pretty much go to someones house drink alot, have sex that you won't remember, throw up, and pass out, not nessesaraly in that order. Personally I like to remember most things, sex, especially. And I'm not a fan of throwing up either.
This is a weird social state to me. I wrote this to mainly make sure that I wasn't alone and to raise some awarness. Of course it would be sweet that also being the leader of counter-culture at my school, I started something for the whole country. Apperently this blog is too short so I'll complain about the kids that don't bathe, dress weird, and think that they are counter culture, but I don't want to waste your time. If there is anyone out there that is like me (Underground Popular) please leave a comment. Just for the record I have just coined the term "Underground Popular".

The comments are great it's great to see that I'm not alone, and I'm impressed by the maturity shown here. I just came to the realization of this being my social situation a few days ago and today I mad another big discovery. I'm the most Underground Popular kid in my school. In other words if I wanted to become popular I have the base to do it. But why would I, except for the girls. But the head of counter culture being popular would not make sence. On that note, the flat top is back in, ok. Well at least it will be in 6 months when the popular guys finally get around to copying me.

i know what you mean. although the parties at my school aren't so much like get drunk and have sex and might be on occassion to drink, i'm just not into that.

I don't think I could deem myself "underground popular". Perhaps if there was a semi-underground popular...

I know I defintely wasn't the popular one. I wasn't near-popular. I was known by most people, but forgetful to them as well. Hmmm. Maybe I should coin a phrase to describe my social situation when I was in high school

    Know what you mean. I was friends with all those popular people. I dressed fine, I looked fine, I even got along with them. I did not how ever party with them. So I wouldn't get a wave, or the "Hey want to go to lunch with us?" but in class I was their friend. I never really card all that much because my close group of friends is way cooler than any of those popular people were or will be.

    So no, you aren't alone in this secret society, the Underground Populars exist.

    Après la pluie le beau temps.

    well at my school we have three levels of classes and I'm in the nerd classes and none of them have parties... it's depressing ... they're all really popular though... they're in everything and the leaders of the school and all that jazz... but I'm pretty sure most wouldnt know what to do at a party

    Ok I admit there are these people you call underground populars i should know I had a few of them in my classes i mean esp about the guy thing i mean i knew guys that were nice and all id say hi to them in class or if they asked me something yeah i would answer but i wouldnt want to be seen with them outside even with some of the girls(i think esp the girls)....now that you brought that up i cant believe i did that! it sounds really mean to do...i mean i knew everyone when i was in highschool and i was active in everything the parties yeah i admit some where pretty damn stupid but its what we do i guess....Im not an underground popular but I know that they are there...Great word by the way

    Well, I can say that I'm in the same boat as you.
    I mean, I talk to every different group there is. From "gangsters" to "populars" and yes I will say I'm very well liked. But when it comes to the top ranking popular kids I'd say I don't quite fit in as much anymore, and the reason I'd have to say is, is because I am highly sure I am much more mature in that area than alot of people my age (I'm 17) and I say this because everyday its' the same thing with the "top ranking popular kids" they always talk about parties, how wasted they got, but of course they want to make themselves look more "bad ass" and subsitute the word "wasted" into "shit faced".. then they talk about how crazy everyone was acting and how sluty so-and-so was acting and "oh my god, we played beer pong, and took 2938 pictures of it and posted them on facebook and myspace" Its' just not even appealing to me, and I mean, I'm not a prude who is against drinking, I mean jeez I was stupid when I was 14 started drinking all the time with my bestfriend's older sister and her friends and got me my first M.I.P on my 15th birthday and then got my second M.I.P like 6 months later .. and its' odd now, because I'm not even hardly THAT interested to get super drunk and go to a party and smoke weed and bla bla bla, so which means I don't party like a fool, so I don't get invited to "fool" parties. and which is why its' just showing how I guess more "mature" we are, or how much quicker we "matured" and got out of that stage. I mean sometimes I wish I was like that again, just so then maybe I would possibly have more "friends" but then at the same time it doesn't even like bother me that I'm not invited to a party, because usually the people that go (the top rank populars) act very immature and childish when drinking and partying. I find it annoying now actually. And its also odd too, because my boyfriend is friends with "the top rank populars" and well hes never "partied" much because when we first met he was against it, and made me promise him I'd never drink again (we we're freshmen by the way.) .. and so he finally grew up, started and experianced drinking along with his friends who go out all the time now to parties .. and now they stop inviting him everywhere they go because I guess you can say its' me now telling him that drinking isn't everything, especially if it means that, that is the only way you'll be invited here or there to a party with your friends or STILL be a part of that group .. buuut don't get me wrong, I do drink here and there, but usually I have to go to certian parties and drink with certian people who aren't stupid and wont act immature, and think they are so KEWL when they drink, since everyone normally does .. but like I said, it doesn't make you seem "cool" .. last time i checked I thought "cool" ment everything in Junior High, but oh well, I'd much rather now be takin seriously than a immature little 17 year old who steals mommy and daddy's alki, or having a fake idea that looks nothing like me.. :-)

    I partied a lot, but I also worked 60 hours a week. I think I earned it. :)
