On the subject of ‘Find Your Tribe’, I find that the site reflects my opinion of today’s youth culture. While the site is relatively simplistic in how it separates today’s youth into groups or ‘tribes’ using a questionnaire about their current likes and dislikes, its conclusions show without a doubt that our youths have disintegrated from one mass culture into many factions with which they identify themselves. The site also shows how there is a proliferation of lifestyle tribes, ‘Find Your Tribe’ was run in 2005 and again in 2008 and between these three years the number of tribes has increased which means there has been a creation of more tribes. A creation of new tribes and the death of others mean that our adolescents live in the fluidity of ever-changing tribes and social circles. ‘Find Your Tribe’ proves that the young adults have freedom of choice in how they live their lives and express themselves despite the ideological apparatus that they are subjected to from a young age.
