Stickers are common in schools, given by teachers or used by students to show their personalities. Then they usually drop out of circulation after elementary school, but then you can choose where to use them on your own. Teenage sticker collecting is the next big stage: decorating a water bottle, laptop shell, or notebook with stickers is a great way to express yourself. When I was in middle and high school, favorite band stickers, cartoon characters (especially Invader Zim), and floral stickers were everywhere.
These days, stickers are still a popular merch item for artists to sell alongside their larger prints, and a great add-on as a piece of book merch.
