República DominicanaJevito
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).

Plastiquito
A snobbish or superficial person who acts superior based on their social circle or by putting on airs. They often look down on their own culture while imitating American or wealthy foreign stereotypes. The term describes someone who focuses on appearances and the latest fashion trends to mask insecurities, but it can also simply refer to a wealthy youth who is easily influenced by media and status.
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.
