That said stereotypes are almost always wrong when taken to an individual level.
I looked up the definition and it's apparently every 30 years.

I find many people actually go out of their way to be apart of a stereotype because there are some stereotypical traits many people would believe are appealing.

Like stereotyping yourself as a nerd will imply your intelligent: a jock will imply you are healthy/active. Ironically playing into one people find that their identity becomes more secure.
