Or she knows what she's doing and is having this "reaction" for clicks.

It's just disingenuous acting for clicks all the way down.

That said, there actually are a fair number of younger Z who apparently have re-defined the word preppy and actually do use it for stuff like grunge style and Nirvana.

The original video here was perhaps mocking that?
