drama kid

Stage-obsessed student

A drama kid is a student heavily involved in theater, known for expressive personality and theatrical mannerisms that extend beyond the stage.

The term often carries affectionate mockery—drama kids are stereotyped as loud, emotional, attention-seeking, and prone to bursting into song: Every friend group has one drama kid.

The label can follow someone into adulthood as a personality type.
