Re: The Decline of Tribes

Tribes tended to link with certain music styles and their fashions and then reinforcing that with 'us and them' attitudes. What is the music currently doing ? Not a lot relatively to times past. So It must be relatively bland for teens and early twenties. There are a few old style tribes knocking about like Goth and Mod but current styles are generally like RnB wanna-b-gangsta or non-tribal at all. Hipsters don't seem to have any link to music. Maybe the Message to you Rudy got through to the next generations?
Just cos you don't hear it doesn't mean it's not out there. Music is as diverse if not more so than older times.
