The Lovebirds
We all know THAT couple. That couple gets just a little too into the make-out session and exceeds their lip-touching limit by multiple hours. They exert so much confidence, and the ability to get made fun of and- not care---it almost makes me admire them. In all seriousness, nobody wants to see that. Save it for after the dance, you two!
The Party Animal
This is the kid at the center of the dance circle busting out all of their craziest moves. Most of the party animals are minimalists when it comes to clothing. Ties come off, shoes are left far from the dance floor, vests tossed aside, suspenders snapped off, and pants rolled up into shorts. They absolutely love the attention they get from everyone!
The Corner Creepers
There’s nothing wrong with being a little shy, but what is up with the kids who come to the dance just to stand in the corner for two hours?!?! You can usually spot the corner creepers drinking multiple cans of soda or any other beverage that can be found at the drink table. Bonus weird points if you bring a date and refuse to dance with them for the entire night.
The Casuals
There is nothing wrong with a nice pair of jeans that you love. It is different when you arrive at homecoming wearing a t-shirt, cowboy boots, baseball hat, and that same pair of jeans. Most of the time these kids also fall under the corner creeper category, and they probably showed up in a truck you have to get a running start to jump up into.
The Do It Yourself Homecomers
The D.I.Y. people are more excited for the antics after the dance than the actual dance. These people show up to get a few pictures, dance a song or two, and then leave to do the things that responsible teenagers do at parties, like board games or charades. If you would ask a D.I.Y. what their favorite part of homecoming was, they would say the afterparty.
