Urban Tribes...

Urban Tribe is basically a term that allocates members of the audience into certain categories. For example; chav, emo, goth, scene kid, gangster, and so on. Music can very easily create a persona for it's audiences, for example, if you love the band Metro Station (which I most certainly don't) you would probably have long hair, piercings and have a noble pair of skinny jeans, which most people can't really pull off.


However, if you love Devlin, you're more likely to be promoting your trusty Adidas matching tracksuit and trainers, with a Lyle and Scott polo saved for best.


However, although Urban Tribes are known to be a part of every day culture, as some people are obviously listening ton Nirvana and Enter Shikari, with a little bit of Avril Lavigne on the side, and they dress to reflect this, people such as myself cannot specifically be placed into one category, as I love music from the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West and Whiz Kalifa, to the likes of Devlin and Professor Green. I also love listening to Britney Spears still, as well as Mariah Carey, The Beatles, The Black Eyes Peas, Ed Sheeran, Dubstep, the list is never ending! And I think this variety of music and artists to influence me, can reflect on myself; with how I act and how I present myself. According to the Urban Tribe quiz I fall into the 'Blinger' category. Apparently I love to wear expensive jewellery and show everyone just how rich I am! i'd rather go out in my dad's sweatshirt if I'm completely honest...
