Those 'preppy' styles shown in that google images site are what I always thought were called 'sporty' or 'semi-casual' for the rich kids crowd.

I don't really care about how others dress as long as I am comfy. I don't care what the latest fasion trends are
Those are nice pictures of you (and your dad?) - even he is dressed the same way as you.
Pretty much everyone I know dresses in jeans and T-shirts and has basically the same attitude. From young kids to oldsters like me.... it's all about comfort and what's practical.
I guess the way the young people dress depends on their location and how conscious they are about style and making a statement.
Fashions are always changing but jeans and T's never seem to go out of style.
I noticed some hats and skinny pants that I first saw on newscasts from Germany and England, and I didn't see so much in the US at the time (eventually that fashion made it there). I guess that would be part of the Euro-wannabe?
I would describe most young Torontonian teenagers I saw where dressed up like complete Euro-trash more than anything the last time I was there.
You don't see so much of the single colour t-shirts in Quebec, or t-shirts with the name of a computer company, landscaping company or golf club.
And young people in Quebec also quite predominantly wear 3/4 length pants (khaki, white or other colours) during the summer. Much more than they do jeans.
Not sure if this is Euro-wannabe or Eurotrash, but it is what I observe out there on the streets of Quebec.
^^^ a lot of people outside of Quebec dress like that.
Of course many do. I wasn't saying "everyone here" vs. "everyone there", only that it was more common in certain areas.
The "Wayne's World" look you will see much less in Quebec than elsewhere in North America, whereas the "Tapout, Puma and gel-spiked hair" look is much more common in Quebec.
But yeah, there are Wayne's World types and Star Trek geek types in Quebec as well. They are just fewer and far between.

I find that the young people in the big cities of Canada (Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver) really like to dress in unique ways- like people often dress very differently.
You see that flair in NYC, San Francisco, Seattle too..but I notice in alot of the Sunbelt/ Midwestern/ New England cities, the young people are less likely to "dress to stand out" and they often dress very similarly to their peers- there is a certain conservatism, that is what I am trying to say in.
Also another observation is that US young people are far more likely than their Canadian counterparts to wear school/ college-insignia or community-sports-level-insignia on their clothing.

Boy is this ever true. I remember as a teen/young adult going on family shopping trips to Syracuse, NY. I almost felt out of place because I wasn't wearing something orange, or something with SYRACUSE or ORANGEMEN (or both) on it....

Having attended university and college and graduated with degrees from both countries this is very true.
In the US, the identity with college (university), where you go to school is extremely important, there is a lot of school pride, and not just with sports teams (although that is a big part of it compared to its Canadian counterparts). It is I think IMHO, a big turning point in adult life growing up than it is more so in Canada for young people.
In many smaller college towns, or areas of the country that don't have large cities, or have any pro sports college identification is a big deal. So people are tending to wear colors all the time when it comes to just casual standard wear (not fashinable in the slightest mind you).
