ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

New tribalism

New tribalism is when people who think, look, or act similarly choose to hang out together, just like how tribes in the past lived in groups and stuck to each other. It’s like having a family you choose, or a group of friends who are like your extended family. People in the same tribe usually have similar beliefs and goals, and they all support and encourage each other. Having a close group of people to rely on can be very comforting and helpful.
