Rules of the tribes

As part of the zine we chose to do rules for each of the tribe to follow, therefore came up with these rules that could be used that would fit the stereotype and make light of each of the sub genres. After creating the rules we and Sean then developed some of the rules further and set about having 5 for each one as that would give each of the tribes equal weight in the zine, which would make the piece better as it would follow the same structure.

Here is the lists of the different rules that I created that were whittled down when designing the zine.

Goth Rules 

body mod is good body mod 

If you can’t read the band name it’s a good band  

Judge the world in every light with a sarcastic comment

You are properly going to get blamed for a lot of shit, so be as weird and strange as possible

Your’ e not a goth if you’re not social, your just a social retard

We are the most unique people, but we are all the same

We secretly listen to bring me the horizon, but we judge and laugh at them in public

We don’t were that much corpse paint, leather and spikes it’s more of a Swedish/Norwegian thing  

Hipster Rules

Obey shepherd fairy, even though we don’t know who he is 

Always like things ironically and never show happiness, just a moody sexy face

Act like a twat and that you’re better than everyone else

Get glasses even when you can see 

Be as uninteresting as a piece of toast

Love vintage shops and tea even though you have no knowledge of any

Justin Beiber is are style inspiration even though we won’t admit it  

Instagram and hash tagging are out lives it’s the only form of happiness we have

We are unique and alternative in a mainstream manufactured way 

We are all artsy creative types even though we don’t know anything about are and can only instagram

Photoshop and edit every photography before it goes on twitter/facebook

Musician Rules

No modern technology 

Everything should be played on vinyl 

The only sexy girls are pin up girls

Leather jackets will never go out of style 

Pulp fiction is our life, we live it everyday

We only ever eat a burger, fries and a shake 

Nerd Rules

A blow up doll is an acceptable girlfriend

We are cool on the internet that’s all that matters

The big bang theory is for cool nerds, real nerds play dungeons and dragon in their mum’s basement

We don’t not like to socialise unless it’s through a screen

My mum is my best friend

Stoner Rules

Puff puff pass to the left always

4/20 is always weed time, not matter where you are

If you are stoner, when stoned you have to turn into a great philosopher to rival that of Aristotle is not you’re a lazy fuck

If you whitey you fail and will have to leave the circle

A circle is the only shape for smoking weed, a square or triangle is just wrong

Rastafarians are true believers; if you have dreadlocks you get the blunt first

Anything is acceptable when you have the munchies

Space cake is an invention of god, eat get stoned, get the munchies, get even more stoned the circle of weed

Laughter makes the world go round so light up and be happy

Everyone loves a stupid stoner, it’s better than a arrogant, angry drunk
