Find Your Tribe
We’re told that it has never been easier to fit into society. The barriers have been broken down forever by media and “celebrity royalty”. The unrelenting rise of reality TV means anyone, even a witless moron with Tourette’s Syndrome, can become a household name!
According to sociologists our society is going back to its tribal roots. People are banding together not through social class but through how they fit in with their friends and peers.
There’s even a website, www.findyourtribe.co.uk, that allows you to identify your tribe. It could be one of 23 according to market research company, Voodoo.
Here’s a selection:
Moshers – Metal and rock is your life.
Emo Kids – Those who carry the world on their shoulders.
Chavs – You’re Chav and proud.
Street Rats – You’ll do anything for a quick buck.
MySpacers- Not just a website but a lifestyle.
Blingers – Rappers like Jay-Z are your inspiration
Careful though, this is co-sponsored by Channel 4 and has been set up to analyse the main influences on the youth of today. So, Big Brother, really is watching.
We’d like to nominate a new tribe. The Bull Crew, a hardcore bunch of boys and girls who like healthy, wholesome living, loud music, contact sports and most importantly, share a true spirit of adventure, over a glass or two of wine, of course!
