Urban tribes are groups of people who have the same habits,do the same activities and for example go to similar places to be together because they go with the people that are similar to them. They normaly listen to the same music or they wear the same clothes.
there are a lot of diffrents kind of tribes, for example:
Emos:
Emo stands for emotional. Instead of an angry, hard-core way of expressing one-self, Emo has taken a new role in the twentieth century.
From music with strong emotion and feeling, unlike hard rock, this has emerged as an alternative way to let feelings be known.
Black clothes are teamed with bright colours. Emos will often be seen in clothing such as Punkyfish, Vans and Atticus Clothings (Blink 182's own clothing line). The term ‘emo’ is stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, a long fringe to hide behind brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes.
Bands are mostly American and musically accomplished. It is part hardcore punk, part melodic indie. Favourite bands include Fall Out Boy, Alkaline Trio and Funeral For A Friend.
Also there is another tribe:
Grungers:
This is a Tribe whose ideology centres on Kurt Cobain. It is a label given by others to those who dislike conforming to major brand names or trends, have any of their own opinions, listen to music they want to listen to rather than what everyone tells them to.
Grungers will usually be seen in battered jeans, baggy jumpers, and sleeves pulled down with holes through which thumbs are poked. A grunger will wear clothes that are comfortable and do not pay much attention to appearance. Hair is usually bleached blonde and shoulder length, messy.
Skaters are very diffrent to grungers:
Skaters:
Skaters are one of the few tribes to be defined by something other than music. A resurgence of an 80’s urban tribe, they are a younger hybrid of the grunger and the metaller. A skater is usually under 20, lives outside of central urban areas, and is passionate about bands no-one else has heard of, wear big baggy shorts, chains and have piercings.
Music tastes include British hip hop/breakbeat like Roots Manuva, Infinite Livez, and Plump DJs. Tribe members also listen to indie, grunge and punk, electro, trance and metal.
this are trendies,they are very, very,very fashion:
Trendies:
For trendies, looking good is all that matters in life.
It is all about vintage for trendies. One-off pieces are key combined with accessories from Topshop, New Look, Primark and H&M. Fashion heroes are Gwen Stefani and Kate Moss. Men are often seen in denim jeans, loose, hanging shirts and styled hair. Women can be seen also in denim jeans and anything with a designer logo.
Likes stretch from better known acts such as The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand to pre-breakthrough acts like The Gossip and Datarock. Trendies are often seen reading Glamour or Vogue magazine to find out the latest fashion trends.
This are wiggers another tribe:
Wiggers:
A slang term referring to white people emulating urban African Americans and urban black British and Caribbean culture. A wigger tries to imitate black American hip-hop.
Members of this tribe will often be wearing a backwards cap, baggy tops - often basketball jerseys or the label Fubu, and lots of jewellery. Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Ali G can be strongly associated with making a mockery out of wiggers.
The wigger will often have tattoos, usually bearing the name of a dead rapper or the slogan of a rap group. The terms ‘whack’ and ‘for shizzle’ are commonly used. Music artists Eminem and Vanilla Ice have in the past been accused of being part of this tribe.
