Style tribe

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]
