Abstract
Introduction/purpose: To understand cultural environment, vital events, and experiences in urban tribe teenagers in a coastal community in Chile.
Methods: A qualitative study of ethnographic path. Fifteen teenagers from 12 urban tribes living in a coastal community in Chile were interviewed. After data collection, qualitative analysis software was used to code, categorize, and interpret data.
Results/discussion: Among interviewed teenagers, the perception of being and wishing to be different from others was a significant finding. Many tribes have a foreign origin, and being member of a tribe is linked to a refusal of popular culture in the teenagers living in the community. Clothes play a significant role as a way to show they are different from "normal" people, and help to establish social relationships between peers. Young people are in a continuous process to find their identity and, in a number of cases, changes resulted from dissatisfaction with peer groups, music, and related parties. For many youngsters, urban tribes are a support system in a poorly supportive family, and are a way to set aside family problems, poverty, abuses, and violence.
Conclusion: The present study is an approach to urban tribes' cultures, and collects important information on motivations and perceptions in young people belonging to urban tribes. Current evidences show the need for a clear understanding of the cultural environment so that health promotion and protection measures can be successfully applied.
