The Tribe
What Is The Tribe?
The Tribe is a TV Series which first screened in the UK on April 1999 on Channel 5. The series depicts a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has killed all the living adults. The kids inherit the world and the series follows their struggle to survive in the harsh reality called Life. Some kids begin to form tribe's, where members work together and help each other out to survive...
So, picture it, you are a kid, your parents have died from this virus, you've had to bury your parents with your own hands and as the days slowly pass, the electricity goes out, you're beginning to get cold as there is no heating, the water coming out of the tap is filthy and eventually it begins to run dry, the shops have all been raided by for food, hospitals have all their medication taken, kids are running in terror on the streets, scared of violent Tribes and what they'll do to them if they get captured... No where is safe, even the houses are being raided, kids are looking for anything that will help to do what everyone else is trying to do. They're all trying to survive... Welcome to The Tribe!

How did the virus happen?
The story line behind the virus is that a company called Pandorax were creating a solution to prevent, if not stop, ageing.
The virus was the result of an anti-ageing drug that went wrong and once the virus started, it spread too rapidly before it could stop.
Symptons of the virus are headaches, body aches, wrinkly skin, greying hair and some lesions on the skin. Anyone displaying the symptoms would end up dead, only kids were immune to the virus. All the adults died.
There was an antidote for the virus, but it was unclear as to wether it worked and the virus had already spread before it could get distributed to the people who were dying from the virus.
However bearing all this in mind, the exact story about the virus remains a mystery. Some of the answers to how it was created and how it spread are given in series 2 of The Tribe.

What's with all the make-up?The make-up you see on people in The Tribe often represent The Tribe the character is from.
For example, a member of the Gaian tribe has green paint on their face and two blue lines (which you can see in the image on the right). In the same manner, members of the tribe called Demon Dogs all have silver paint on their faces.
The make-up allows you to distinguish who's in which tribe, this is essential in The Tribe as it allows you to see who your enemies are! You'd avoid anyone with red paint on their face as they are from the Locusts/Locos tribe, they are the most vicious tribe in The Tribe.
The look of each tribe changes from series to series, so they do change their look often. In the same manner, the clothes a person in The Tribe wears can represent The Tribe they are in.

HotTopic Criticism
In their marketing, Hot Topic uses rebellious imagery in an effort to appeal to teenagers' "rebellious" tendencies, a practice which its critics deride. Since the early 2000s, Hot Topic has been increasingly perceived as a "poseur"
store, and some counterculture (goth, punk, hardcore, Otaku etc.) consumers refrain from shopping there (or at shopping malls in general). Members of a counterculture tend to resent the appropriation of the trappings of their subculture as commodities for mainstream consumption. In this vein, recording artist MC Lars has released a song titled "Hot Topic is Not Punk Rock." Ironically, The Matches, who provide the music background to the song, have toured with a Hot Topic sponsored tour in the past. Hot Topic acknowledged the song by instructing stores to devote a small area of the stores to display products mentioned in the song, carrying MC Lars' album 'The Graduate', and playing the song in the store. Their line of women's clothing tends to run very small; many feel as though the sizes they provide are not proportional to a healthy-sized woman.

In the years since emo music's rise in popularity, both emo music and emo subculture have attracted sometimes severe criticism. The term emo itself is sometimes used pejoratively, to suggest that the target is "overly emotional."Emo in general has been characterised as a fad which will be discarded and forgotten in the near future. Emo music has also been compared to the teen pop of 1990s boy bands. Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit, the fashion as "embarrassing" and members of the subculture as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh, painful lives when they actually live in comfortable, upper- to middle class homes. Members of the emo subculture are portrayed by 
critics as melodramatic, self-pitying teenagers who pour their efforts into writing bad poetry and spending a great amount of time on MySpace. The current emo subculture has been called a "sad caricature" of what it once was. Critics have gone so far as to contend that the emo subculture or emo music are likely to cause youth to commit suicide. The backlash against emo music and subculture has become so prevalent that it may itself have become a cliché: one commentator notes that "hating emo kids these days is as hackneyed as emo itself." However, many emo bands and their respective fans have embraced the title, identifying themselves as emo, rather than considering it a derogatory term.
