A URBAN TRIBE IS A SOCIETY GROUP, MOSTLY CREATED BY TEENS, TO EXPRESS THEIR

FEELING, PHILOSOPHY, FASHION,ETC. DURING THE HISTORY HAVE EXISTED THESE KIND
OF GROUPS.
 HISTORY

Urban tribes are, in essence, identities shared in a group way and expressed through
certain habits and behaviors. Many understand them as a way to navigate the complexities
of adolescence and youth, clinging to a group identity and ideology, capable of providing a
sense of belonging, very important during certain stages of life. It started around 1940`s
 EXAMPLES
Hippies. Appeared between the 1960s and
1970s, this is probably the oldest urban tribe
in existence. Its values ​of antimilitarism,
pacifism, anti-consumerism and promotion of
free love and sex have been inherited to many
other later urban tribes. Hippies (or hippies)
are recognized for their disheveled or
informal look, passive and hedonistic attitude,
prone to drug use and a spiritual vision new
age, which seeks to connect with ancient
traditions or other cultures.
 PUNKS
Punks. Associated with the musical
movement of the 1980s, as well as with a
rebellious and combative attitude towards
society and politics, it is one of the oldest
urban tribes that still survives, although
adapted to the new times. They are
characteristic of punks (or punks, punks, etc.)
their garments with abundant leather and
military boots, piercings and tattoos, colorful
crests and radical haircuts, as well as their
nihilistic slogans (there is no future) and an
ideology of oscillating between the apolitical
and the revolutionary.

GEEKS GEEKS
• Geeks or geeks. Initially, these terms were used for
any fan of technology, certain games or video
games, or certain learning subjects (astronomy,
mythology, etc.), whose devotion was considered
“excessive” or unusual. However, the massification
of these hobbies gave rise to the urban tribe of
geeks (mostly fans of technology) or geeks (mostly
fans of fantasy and comics). Today it is an urban
tribe with highly variable features, of people prone
to introversion and shyness, to the 2.0 world, role-
playing games, and horror and fantasy stories.

OTAKUS COSPLAY
• Otakus. With this Japanese name of very
specific uses in its mother tongue (it is basically
an honorific form of the second person), an
entire urban culture born in the early 1990s in
the West was baptized, and characterized by
devotion to the Asian world , in particular
Japanese, and especially for its comics and
animations. Otaku are known for their quirky,
futuristic dress, and their taste for comic book
and anime conventions, in which they often
dress up as their favorite characters (cosplay).
 NEW GOTHICS

EMOS SUBCULTURE
• Emos. Its name comes from “emotional“(” Emotional
“in English) and emerged in the early 1990s in the
United States, linked to certain genres of pop / rock.
However, their greatest popularization took place
during the 2000s, as inheritors of the depressive and
suicidal aesthetic of other later and extinct urban
tribes, such as the grunge, the gotics (goths) or
the skateboard (skateboarders). Their clothing tends
to be dark colors, to the use of makeup and nail paint
in both sexes, to piercings and tattoos, to hairstyles
with bangs (usually covering one or both eyes), and
their behaviors are often cynical and withdrawn.
 GAMERS LET`S JUST PLAY
• Gamers. This is the urban tribe of inveterate video game
players, whose clothing and codes of conduct tend to be
much more lax and varied than in the rest of the list,
although always with the presence of elements from the
world of video games, especially those
considerate retro or vintage. However, the «jugones»
(Spain) of both sexes are recognized for dedicating a
large amount of time to the video game, and for
decorating their homes with merchandising from the
industry, as well as tattooing symbols of their important
video games, and always being very aware of the
novelties of the industry, around which his way of life
revolves.
