A part of Fortaleza city’s youth reproduces a lifestyle to be based on the musical genre called rock and in the marks and models to associate with it. Making a rebel’s attitude in front of society and emphasizing a speech that they live in a outsiders condition, the rockers build all kind of gestures, looks, words and behaviors those share between themselves and turn up in to belong ways. To bring together them, the capital of Brazil’s State of Ceará has hundreds of rock bands those they organize parties, gigs and shows, release records, made video clips and organize also big and small festivals. The public follows those bands and the events, but go beyond, because they made parties without bands, meeting in the publics’ squares and attend specify shops. The big number of bands and events are make possible build in the 2000’s a social network made of promoters, associative organisms, shops’ and studios’ owners etc. In spite of the rock stiles’ diversity make possible some network’s subdivisions – specifics to belong ways called clusters that big examples are headbangers and alternatives – the network and the rock lifestyle established passwords very clears and they active enclose ways (when accepts) or exclude ways (when not accepts).
