'''''The Tribe''''' ran five seasons (1999-2003). It was a New Zealand-produced [[Cozy Catastrophe]]/Teen [[Soap Opera]] set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], after an [[Depopulation Bomb|apocalyptic virus]] that [[Only Fatal to Adults|wipes out the world's adult population]], leaving the kids and teens to inherit an [[The City|unnamed city]] that is rapidly degenerating into a [[After the End|post-apocalyptic]] [[Teenage Wasteland|urban wasteland]].
The main characters are the Mall Rats, a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] who took up residence in an abandoned shopping mall. Over the series, the Mall Rats attempt to restore order to a chaotic world by reintroducing civilized functions like money and democratic elections. The Mall Rats face external and internal conflict with other tribes and between their own members, who don't always see eye to eye.
The first series was notably darker in tone than later series, and more survivalist-oriented. The first season also had very few of the "fantastic" elements that came to dominate later seasons, such as virtual reality, religious cults, insanely well-disciplined and organized antagonist tribes, and mysticism. The show dealt with many of the typical elements of both a [[Teen Drama]] with a setting that was part [[Scavenger World]] and part [[Cozy Catastrophe]], including problems like pregnancy and bulimia. It also mostly averted [[Dawson Casting]].
Not to be confused with the [[Alternative Rock]] [[Tribe (band)|band from Boston, Massachusetts]] active in the 1980s-90s.
