Maybe you mean "triple blind". "tribe blind" makes no sense.

 Do you mean "Blind Tribe", the musical group, the band, or the CD, perhaps?

As you can now tell, you really need to provide some context.  I was going to suggest that perhaps it's a take on "color-blind" as in race relations.

 But in today's world it seems like we have different groupings. [We seem to have] a younger generation that actually is much more tribe-blind or they've created their own social communities.

It is from here.

 They no longer see themselves as part of a tribe [social/racial group].
