"

They take many pop culture terms and references that mainly teens use and completely misuse them to the point where it can make the teen audience ‘cringe’. In other words, they try so hard to be relatable that they end up doing exactly the opposite.

reasons for using clichés:

-for the plot ( you think you know what is coming next)

-to get us back to reality and to show us that it's not always like that in real life
