It's labeling people just like you said.
It's bad because it makes you judge people. Like, there could be a person who dresses like a goth, but is actually religious and does community service. Or a person who dresses like a huge stoner, but is actually really smart. If you looked at one of these people, you wouldn't know about the other things. And if you steriotype, you judge them and assume that they're just like everyone whose goth or something. And judging people is really bad.

stereotyping is just what you described... labeling people. So like saying someone is a preppy.. thats sterotyping. Or like druggies, nerds, jocks, etc. Like clique names.
If someone calls you a stereo type person, then they think that you like to label people for what they are interested in. (for example, I LOVE sports.... so your friends would think that you would label a person who loves sports, a jock.)
Stereotyping is actually not good. because you are labeling people for what they are interested in, and not whats in their heart. Theres so many people out there who like to do 1 thing, but in their heart they can be liking another thing. For example ( a person who has straight A's, homework always done, great attendance.. you'd call them a nerd right??? well how do you know?? maybe in heart, they love to play sports. or maybe they like to go shopping, or date.
You can never tell what a person is like, just by lookig at what they enjoy most. You need to get to know people first before you judge on what stereo type they are.
