Omg I know right?! Every football player I met was way into weird al and knew more about pokemon/sonic then I did
As for the OP question it's really kind of a broad range. I think it's gonna depend on what the story is gonna be focused on more? Is it the popular girl trope? Where you got a mean girls story line of a girl who gets popular and then popularity corrupts them?
Or are you going for a parody more along the line of what Bully did where all these groups are incredibly on dimensional and we make fun of this? (Tho bully made fun of a lot of uncomfortable things )
I would prob start with what exactly your gonna do with the story because then you have a lot more to work with when it comes to what exactly you want to parody,
I for example do a parody of my own comic for our anniversary on April 1s where I turn it into a high school BL so I make fun of a lot of BL plots- which is fine- but I'm starting to get to a point where making fun of the tropes isn't ALL I get to do I also need to figure out some kind of goal for myself or the characters. That way me and my wirter can like... Actually decided on what tropes are more relevant to the "story" then just... You know... All of them
That way you avoid the pit falls of the "yes and" problem where you've just completely gone off the rails and jumped the shark cause you've lost the thread completely
Tho I guess if your just gonna do a gag a day/slice of life comic you should be fine just picking random tropes to make fun of
