Zoku Sazae-san
is a Sino-Japanese term meaning tribe, clan, or family. As a suffix it has been used extensively within Japan to define subcultural phenomena, though many zoku do not acquire the suffix (e.g. cosplay). A ''zoku'' may be labeled with a Japanese stem (e.g. ''kaminari zoku'') or a foreign language (gairaigo) stem (e.g. ''saike zoku'', where ''saike'' comes from "psychedelic"). As with the usual practice elsewhere, subcultures in Japan have almost certainly been labeled by an outsider to the group, often an influential person in the media. Historic groups labeled as zoku 1950s/60s Subcultures that emerged in the early post-war decades include the "motorcycle-riding Thunder Tribe (''kaminarizoku''), the amplified-music-loving Electric Tribe (''erekizoku''), and the Psychedelic Tribe (''saikezoku'')."
