New Era Boys

Okay, so as trends change, the type of boys change with them. Some boys follow trends, while some invent them. This is my analyzation of the "new era" of boys.

Hood boys
Clothing- Baggy jeans, oversized solid tees, a fitted cap, Nike or Jordan sandals, solid gym shoes or shoes to match a fitted(probably Forces).
Character Traits- Rude, cusses a lot, has a "fuck everybody" mentality.
Ambitions- To be a rapper, NBA, or NFL player.
Exceptions- Some guys act as a hood boy because they grew up in the hood and want to fit in with those around them. They might dress and act like one but it is all an act.

Skaters
Clothing- Button-ups or graphic tees, skinny jeans, colorful sneakers(Creative Recs, Ice Creams, ect.), book bag, and skateboard is ALWAYS in tow.
Character Traits- Free spirited, down for whatever, sensitive, and eccentric.
Ambitions- They usually keep their options open by not commiting to one thing, but they want a job where they have the freedom to come and go as they please.
Exceptions- Guys who are just following the trend and trying to fit in.

Ralph Lauren Boys
Clothing- Polos or button-ups, cargos or fitted jeans, Maury's or Prada's, always have an accessory such as, a scarf or diamond earring.
Character Traits- Very well put together, neat and clean, sensitive, and usually a lady's man.
Ambitions- They aspire to be something great, a leader of some sort.
Exceptions- There aren't many exceptions to this type of guy.

Punk Rockers
Clothing- Dark colors, studded belts, wallet chains.
Character Traits- Outspoken, different, doesn't care about what anybody thinks, a loner at times.
Ambitions- To be a rockstar or musician, though they often know that it might not happen.
Exceptions- Guys who don't seem to fit in anywhere tend to drift to this category because of the appeal.

Classic Boys
Clothing- Hoodies, plain tees, fitted jeans, Jordans or Forces, and a diamond earring.Character Traits- Outgoing, not a follower of trends, honest, and usually funny.
Ambitions- They tend not to think too much into the future but they want to do something practical.
Exceptions- Not many exceptions to classic boys.

Pretty Boys
Very similar to a Ralph Lauren boy
Clothing- Graphic tees, button-ups, or polos, cargos, skinny jeans, or fitted jeans, fitted caps, Pradas, Jordans, Gucci shoes, or Creative Recs, diamond earring, a brush and carmex always at arms length.
Character Traits- Sometimes shy, sometimes outgoing, they sometimes follow trends to a certain extent, they care about their looks and always have to be fresh.
Ambitions- They want to do something where they can be seen.
Exceptions- Boys who aren't "pretty" at all. They may have all the characteristics, but you have to be fairly good-looking.

Trend Followers
Clothing- Whatever the media says is "in style".
Character Traits- Outgoing, hangs with different groups of people, wants everyone to like them, wants to be accepted, a natural follower(can be good or bad).
Ambitions- Doesn't really have any.
Exceptions- There aren't any. Trend followers just want to fit in, so no one could pose as one because they generally are the posers.

I like Pretty boys, Ralph Lauren boys, and Skaters. But that's just me.

*NOTE:
All boys may not fit into these categories and all traits may not be the same. This is from my experience and thoughts.
