40% hick
44% annoying emo/scene kids
14% slutty girls/annoying boys
2% people actually worth talking to.

sounds about right.

the concentration of slutty girls is far too low in your calculations

wow. the tables have turned(dif time, dif place…). let me see if i can figure out what my high school was like about 6-10 yrs back… ‘scene’ kids did not exist in my corner of rural massachusetts back then…

  • 40% kids that went a few times/yr to go see “dave”, oft wore khakis, most with @ least 1 varsity sport
  • 20% non-“dave” fans, that explored & practiced various forms of “self expression”
  • 15% hicks/from otis & the dale & ‘ham
  • 08% uhhhh. slutty girls & guys with tempers
  • 05% kids that we believe shared the same Slipknot tshirt, on rotation [‘goth’-ish
  • 05% housebuilding & automotive, so gone half the day or more
  • 05% average folks that had good study habits but weren’t actually honors material
  • 02% closest thing to scene kids we had… this was me and a few others…

Haha, this is an interesting game. Keep in mind my first highschool had about 300 kids so the percentages may seem high.

50% preps/ athletes/ smart kids/ rich kids/ Italians (5% of which were actually nice to us plebes).
20% “hicks” - many of whom I was actually friends with, before I became so sensitive to the ignorance of bigotry.
20% freaks/ geeks/ druggies/ theatre kids/ celtidorks/ art kids - this is the group I was in.
10% “smokers” - They were like a different, angrier kind of unpopular
5% punks/ skaters/ ska kids - there was a hick and freaks/geeks crossover here.
5% goodie goodies - crossovers from all categories, wore mickey mouse sweatshirts a lot

I dunno, I think my memory is skewed by the intense alienation I felt as a freak. :)
