A preppy, trendy rich kid from upscale Santo Domingo neighborhoods like Piantini or Naco. The term specifically describes the 80s and 90s youth subculture that attended elite private schools, hung out at exclusive social clubs, and listened to New Wave music. They looked down on anything they considered low-class, only accepting Juan Luis Guerra as legitimate merengue. They were known for their specific fashion sense, like slicked-back gelled hair and expensive imported clothing. (Piantini, Naco, and Arroyo Hondo are wealthy residential areas; Carol Morgan and Babeque are elite private schools).

A jevito schedule: Monday: Dinner at Friday's to celebrate the start of the week. Tuesday: Doing laps at Acropolis mall, I cannot let my fans go a day without seeing me. Wednesday: Time to warm up the engines at Strats or Bakus (nightclubs), wherever I am admired and they do not let in people who are not like me. Friday: Party time. Saturday morning: At APEC (a university in Santo Domingo) with dark shades; it does not matter if it is cloudy, this hangover has not worn off yet. Saturday night: Phone rings, are you coming out? Of course, I am just covering my dark circles with makeup. Sunday 12 PM: Damn sun, go away. Sunday night: Let me touch my books just to move them to a different spot. Sunday 2 AM: What a party, but I have to make a chivo (cheat sheet) for math, though I do not even have the book.

First of all, this is just a stereotype: it is not that people who seem like a Plastiquito do not have good qualities we can learn from, so let us respect each individual.

Metalico refers to metalheads or goths. They have a dark look and dress like they are in constant mourning. While it is easy to tell rich and poor apart in other groups like the cocolos (Dominicans of West Indian descent), a rich Metalico looks just like a poor one. They hang out in groups with lopsided gender ratios, and the women are either very attractive or ugly as sin. They wear black, red, or cream t-shirts with edgy prints like Che Guevara, Marilyn Manson, Enrique Bunbury, or skulls. They shop for cheap beads and accessories at El Conde (a famous pedestrian street in Santo Domingo), wear jeans three sizes too small, and prefer their Converse sneakers dirty and torn. The women use dark eyeshadow that makes them look sleep-deprived. They often carry guitars they do not know how to play and look depressed even when listening to upbeat alternative music.
Head to El Conde any afternoon and you will see the Metalico kids sprawled out on the floor like it is their house.
