UK Tribes- Self Representation

  • Use UK Tribes to find the group or groups (there can be crossover) that you think you belong to. Why do you belong to this group(s)? 
I consider myself to be in the group 'Stylers' and maybe some 'Trackies' or 'Sports Junkies'. I believe i belong to this as I like to follow certain styles (mostly with clothing). I like to buy the popular clothing brands but i do not buy clothes based on what other people wear, I just like having the brands. I think I could be part of Trackies as I am very chilled out and like to just relax with my friends and sometimes it takes a bit to get me motivated to do something. Sports Junkies as well as I am very into Football, although i don't play football anymore, I love to watch it and as I have a season ticket at Leicester City and go on as many away matches as possible.


  • What media figures (actors, musicians, sportspeople, celebrities) do you consider similar to you. In what way are they similar to you/ are you similar to them?
I aspire to be involved in football in some way, not playing it but maybe involved in the media side of the game. I aspire to be maybe a presenter of a game as they get to watch all the games and analyse it which interests me a lot. 
  • Do you consciously 'model' (copy modes of dress, style yourself, act like) yourself on any of these media figures? Why is that?
I do not specifically model myself to be like anyone, but if i like something they do or wear then it may encourage me to do it or buy it.  I like to keep up with the trends but not in a way that i would change myself, but some people can be used as templates for me.
