Market Research: UK Tribes

After looking on the website UK Tribes, we have concluded that the branch of youth culture that would be best associated with our song and video would be the Tumblr Kids. This 'tribe' is obsessed with following people and  sharing things about themselves via technology, on sites such as Twitter and of course Tumblr.
We decided to go with the Tumblr Kids because they are of a younger age - mostly under 16 -  compared to other social groups. There is also a female bias and these factors combined would cause the Tumblr Kids to be more attracted to our artist's style of music.
UK Tribes states that Tumblr Kids re-blog images that show who they are, such as 'fashion icons, cult films, lyrics, and pets.' UK Tribes largely bases its explanation of Tumblr Kids on the 'Tumblr Famous' bloggers, with their dip dyed hair and vintage clothes, however when I used to go on Tumblr I noted that the majority of people on there were in fanbases of their favourite TV, actors, books, films, music etc. Therefore within these smaller branches of Tumblr, news of albums, singles and music video releases would travel fast - and new artists that were on Tumblr could easily connect to their audience, so build up a bigger following.
