Teen tribes by Eleonora
Teen tribes tend to form around shared interests in music and fashion. Goths typically wear black clothes and listen to dark, atmospheric music like The Cure or Marilyn Manson. Emo teens are associated with tight jeans, asymmetrical hair, and support of hardcore punk bands from the 1980s. Punks in earlier decades wore simple band t-shirts, jeans, and boots. Metalheads have a darker style featuring leather, dark colors, band or macabre graphic shirts, and long hair.
