StatSocial’s Digital Tribes is a new consumer segmentation model with a social psychographic twist.
Digital Tribes are powered by StatSocial’s Silhouette, the industry’s most advanced Audience Intelligence Platform. Our unique technology enables us to make sense of the billions of unstructured earned and social web interactions that go on each day — allowing you to dive deep into nearly any audience you can imagine.
Using billions of inputs for over 120 million U.S. consumers, we have segmented naturally occurring populations into 100 distinct Digital Tribes.
This entry is a deeper dive into the tribe we call “Hip Pop Life.”

PERSONALITY TRAITS —Hip Pop Life
In psychology, the Big 5 personality traits describe a popularly-employed taxonomy that breaks down human personalities into five, broad, over-arching categories.
IBM Watson™ employs this model, and the five traits that give it its name — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism — as the umbrella categories under which numerous, more specific personality traits can be found.

Immoderation, from a personality standpoint, doesn’t necessarily describe someone who is reckless or excessive, but more one who has no hang-ups about prioritizing convenience, pleasure, and fun. From a consumer standpoint, as an example, one described by this trait will be less likely to purchase a brand other than the one they prefer, simply because it’s on sale.
This tribe averages in the 76.75th percentile for exhibiting this trait.
