Fresa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

--> start content -->

In Mexico, fresa (which is Spanish for strawberry) is a slang term for a cultural stereotype of superficiality in youngsters.

The term fresa (preppy), was born in the 60's to define teenagers with a conservative mentality, who didn't drink and enjoyed being from traditional families. During the 80's the meaning changed and became a mock of the "rich kids" lifestyle, soon after it became a desired trait.

Initially only people with more Spaniard than native looks and belonging to the middle or high classes could be called fresa, and unlike popular belief a fresa is not a well-off person, they can be working class people or even poor people but it's how they talk and act that can label them as fresa^[1]. The term has been made popular in other Latin American countries due to exhange in the region of TV productions.

Is in some terms the opposite of naco, and it is not always derogatory, traditionally teens who attend expensive schools or have wealthy parents are called "niño bien" (nice kids) or "gente bonita" (beautiful people), but due to the increasing division of social classes and economic differences between them the "fresa" was born as a popular aspiration since it's based solely in giving a sense of superiority inside any social group.

Usually fresas are not into anything scientific, their conversations are about light matters such as TV shows or the latest pop band, they know nothing of world matters, art or even basic things like proper spelling. ^[2] They think very high of themselves and can be often discriminative, even to each other . Unlike Juniors or Yuppies fresas don't have high expectations, that's why there aren't many fresas over 30 years old, at a certain age they merge with the social group they were born into.
