Social Groups and Teenage Tribes

Social groups are groups of two or more people that have a social cohesion and share similar characteristics. These characteristics can include an individuals personality, the clothes they wear, the music they listen to, their interests and their general appearance. Many social groups have become generalised and stereotyped over time to become 'Teenage Tribes'. Teen tribes are simplified and generalised ideas of the social groups that exist among the teenagers of today. These include:
  • Chavs
  • Emos
  • Townies
  • Goths
  • Indies
  • Skaters
  • Punks
  • Pop Princes/Princesses
  • Alternative   
Researchers believe that every teen of today should fit into at least one of the above 'tribes'.
