In the social sciences, the word "clique" is used to describe a group of 2 to 12 (averaging 5 or 6) “persons who interact with each other more regularly and intensely than others in the same setting.” Cliques are distinguished from "crowds" in that their members interact with one another (e.g., hang out together, go shopping, play basketball). Crowds, on the other hand, are defined reputationally. Although the word 'clique' or 'cliquey' is often used in day-to-day conversation to describe relational aggression or snarky, gossipy behavior of groups of socially dominant teenage girls ('queen bees') this is not scientifically accurate. Interacting with cliques is part of normative social development regardless of gender, ethnicity, or “popularity.” Although cliques are most commonly studied during adolescence and middle childhood, they exist in all age groups.

I've got blonde hair blue eyes
The Barbie doll type
Got my nose turned up that's right
So take a picture
I'm wearing all black with spikes
Got my boots and my tattoos
I'm hard and I'm hating on you
I'm a bad ass
I'm not just like what you think I'd be
I don't act like what you think I'd be
No, No, No, You don't know me
Don't judge a book by its cover that's not what we like
Inside's where it lies don't think you know me from outside
Labels are just cliques that misinterpret our lives
Know me for who I really am
I'm over those Cliques
There's glasses over my eyes
Nobody cares what I look like
My grades run my life
I'm unnoticed
I'm not the girlie girl type
My game is my life
I'm playing on friday nights
I'm just one of the guys
Oh oh oh oh
clique click clique click
woop woop
You don't know me!
