From a Different Angle, But with a Similar Conclusion
Sam Allis reviews “NYC Prep” in the Boston Globe “Let Me School You About Preppies,” noting that “NYC Prep” isn’t really about prep or preppie at all.
“The show has nothing to do with preppies. Real preppies would have nothing to do with it. They’d be laughed out of New Canaan at the mere thought of participating in it. Their parents would disown them…
…’NYC Prep,’ ludicrous and dispiriting, has zero to do with the true preppy culture, which means old preppy culture.’ (Boston Globe)
His review is worth a read for his exposition and observations regarding the history of “prep” and “preppie” and what the terms actually mean. Hint, the meanings bear no relation to what one sees in “NYC Prep.” Nothing earth shattering but a worthwhile short read.
