Style tribe Information & Style tribe Links at HealthHaven.com

A style tribe or fashion tribe is a group of people that dress in a distinctive style to show their membership in this group.^[1]^[2] Examples include punks, goths, hip-hop devotees, and ravers.^[1] The term "style tribe" appears to have been coined by anthropologist Ted Polhemus, who analyzed style tribes in terms of the modern primitive and an abandonment of a linear trajectory of progress in fashion.^[1]^[3]^[4]^[5]
