What is Darien?
1.
Darien is a small town in Connecticut known for its population of preppy teenagers who insisit on popping their collars, wearing uggs boots with mini skirts and driving Jeep Grand Cherokees in various shades of blue. On weekends, Darieners often find themselves taking road trips to Portchester, NY or "pocho" because it is the only place that will really sell them beer. Then they go to lame house parties which are broken up by the police in less than hour because the entire police force has nothing better to do than break up teenage drinking parties; Darien doesn't haev real crime, only places like Stamford or Norwalk do. When they do travel to such "ghettoes" they listen to their rap music (50 cent) too loud and lock their car doors in fear of getting mugged. D-baggers, or Darieners are outrageously wealthy and every teenager's dream. They live a fantasy life in a bubble unlike anywhere else. Their waterfront property with the oversized SUVs in the driveway is home to them and even when they say they hate it, they love it, they eat it up and wish they could return whenever they leave. Darieners, despite their lacking sense of reality, have more pride than New Canaan and Greenwich combined (and more money too!)
The Darieners wore popped collars and Hadley Pollet belts to the game, knowing that all the hottest lax players would be ripping it up on the field that morning, despite their wicked hang overs from the house party the night before.

A small town located in the southwestern corner of Connecticut. Darien is situated in Fairfield County, which contains some of the most wealthy and impoverished towns and cities in the entire country. Statistically, the majority of the town is W.A.S.P.y (White Anglo Saxon Protestant), although there is the occasional Jew or Asian around. Most adolescent Darien residents identify strongly with their town, whose mascot is the "Blue Wave", and aren't even offended when outsiders call them "D-Baggers". Darien is very well-known for its lacrosse team, which has accomplished infinite success in the past. Most teens attend Darien High School, which can barely be considered a public school. Those who do not attend 'the high school' are shipped off to some of the most elite boarding schools in New England, such as Loomis Chaffee, Exeter, Deerfield, and Rosemary Choate. Those who choose to live at home will attend any of the local private schools, including Brunswick, St. Luke's School, Greenwich Academy, Fairfield Preparatory, Greens Farms Academy, or Convent of the Sacred Heart. On the whole, Darienites define themselves by their material wealth, which is usually reflected by their country club membership(s), home size and location, number and brand of cars owned, and quality of their wardrobe. Darien is most well-known for its coastal areas, which are monopolized by those who live in such private associations as Tokeneke, Noroton Bay, and Delafield Island, to name a few. Those who are raised in Darien generally begin drinking and experimenting with narcotics before they begin high school, which is probably why so many of them are sent to rehab or receive DUIs before they go off to college. Despite all of this, Darien teens have a glorious time in high school. In fact, most pride themselves on how much they can drink, which is a considerable amount. In terms of what there is to do, many individuals choose to go into New York City on the weekends, where most of their parents work during the week. O.A.R., Dave Matthews, and moe. concerts in the city are a town-wide event. Norwalk and Stamford are the two cities that neighbor Darien, and are (for the most part) dangerous and horrible places that are only worthwhile for the mall and a couple movie theaters. If you ever want an idea of the "Darien Dress Code", walk into the Darien Sport Shop, which is equipped with a Burberry section, a Ralph Lauren Polo Room, an extensive Vineyard Vines selection, a Lily Pulitzer area, and an array of over-priced skis, snowboards, lacrosse equipment, and Northface apparel. In any case, Darien is not the real world, which is why it is such a perfect bubble!

Harry: I'm from Norwalk.
Tom: I see... Oh, look, there's my driver!
Kerry: Sally, where do you belong?
Sally: Tokeneke Club, and you?
Kerry: Weeburn... my parents didn't bother with the beach club.

A small town in between Norwalk and Stamford (the ghettos of fairfiled county) consisting of rich family's that own a boat, belong to a summer club and have homes in Vermont and a summer getaway such as Block Island, Nantucket, Cape Cod, the Hamptons and Maine. All the teenagers wear Juicy Couture, Polo, Lacoste, and many different brands of jeans that cost about 200$ each. The moms all have blonde or dirty brown hair and have gorgous bodies. The husbands all work in NYC as CEO's or major corporate owners. All of the toddlers wear designer clothes like polo, mini ribbon belts and little Lilly Pulitzer sun dresses. On the weekends the teens have nothing to do so they spend there nights out late on the post road at restaurants like COSI or Post corner Pizza. And after dinner witht he girls and boyfriends you would catch a movie at the Darien Playhouse where there is only 2 screening rooms. The moms are always waiting by the phone for their children to call for them to pick them up. The mothers live to serve their children and teens. Darien is 99% white and 1% black. In every grade there is only about 3 black children that have moved from either stamford, norwalk or greenwich. In the spare time of most high schoolers they will design there own jewelry and spend long hours at chikaboom, wishlist and the darien sport shop buying all designer clothes and searching through the many designs of Vineyard Vines bags. Lacrosse is a major sport in darien, you will get started playing at around the age of 6 or 7 and will go all the way to the high school team and then go to an IVEY league college to play. Other sports consist of swimming, water polo, gymnastics, feild hockey, skiing and sailing. Darien is a world of its own in the middle of the world. A bubble in the universe.
Darien= The Stepford Wives (the movie was actually filmed in Darien and was based on Darien.

One of the wealthiest town's in the country, second only to a small suburb outside of D.C.
As in, Darien is wealthier than both Greenwhich and NC, so claiming its some "lesser" version is absurd and done by only those who are jealous of the lavish lifestyle of its residents.

darien is a small town in connecticut, in fairfield county with an overwhelming population of the preppiest teenagers you can find, the most beautiful housewives and the richest men. country clubs, yacht clubs and beach clubs are abundant, and you are considered poor if you are not a member of one of these organizations where you often are not allowed without a collared shirt. darien is next to new canaan and near greenwich, westport and fairfield where the same kinds of people can be found at their waterfront mansions showing obscene wealth.
home to some of the most ridiculous house parties that would make college students jealous, darien also has some of the most worthless policemen alive, who do nothing but drive around and bust up a house party if they are in such a mood. polo, lacoste, burberry, louis vuitton, vineyard vines, gucci, and prada are some of the favorite brands of the teenagers there, many of whom must have been born with a lacrosse stick in their hands.
despite nonstop drinking and partying, darien high school students are often accepted at top ivy league and other colleges, or at least the ones who haven't already been shipped off to a boarding prep school such as Andover, Deerfield, Choate or Taft. the population of darien is arrogant as a whole, looking down on anyone with less money or intelligence or ability than they have. darieners spend their summers in nantucket, martha's vineyard, cape cod or block island at their second homes and their winters at their ski houses.
driving through darien on my way to the real world, i noticed teenagers driving BMWs, Jeeps, Audis, Mercedes Benzes and Lexuses, moms so hot that they could be in their 20s, and a ridiculous array of preppy teenagers and rich, conservative adults on their way to the golf course or the yacht.
