Tribes and vibes

Fashion and trends
Looks are everything. If we all looked the same we'd look really lame. Be yourself, by yourself. Rise above conformity




Tattoos and piercings
Body piercing and tattooing have become very popular and trendy. They are forms of body art but they can be rather dangerous.




Music generations
Mods, Rockers, Hippies, Punks, Rastas, Metalheads, Goths, Ravers: music tribes have their own special image. Style is as much influenced by the music they listen to but also the need to belong to a tribe.




Graffiti: art or crime?
Positive opinions
"Graffiti can be colourful, humorous and vibrant. The right sort of graffiti can liven up the ugly part of cities."
"There should be specific spaces for graffiters in each town.This way, they wouldn't vandalize public or private property."
Negative opinions
"Graffiters are vandals.Pure and simple. They should be treated like criminals."
