what a load of ****. just another symptom of the overclinicalization of our society, looking to tag, label, and identify everything they can. I have friends, acquaintences, and associates. they're not a gawdanmed urban tribe. people need to get over themselves.

Yet another bored guy with a degree in social sciences of one kind or another that decided he had to make up some BS to get his or her name published, people really need to stop trying to give every friggin thing a name...

personally, i've always thought if i wanted to find myself, i'm right here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

well, i don't think of you guys as my tribe. friends and fun and funny-looking people, but TRIBE? that implies a sense of isolationism my modernist self doesn't like.

I have to ask my wife about this (she's the humanities expert), but I think the term 'urban tribe' has been around for a long time and it bears little in common with what the article describes.
