What/Who is a “Bro”????

Everyone seems to have a different definition of what or who a “bro” really is. We are here to gather some common notions or stereotypes on what kind of sub-culture, “bro”-culture might be. It seems like people are easy to label, but no one wants to step up and identify themselves with any one social group (ie. bro, hipster, etc.). Please take a moment to look over our brog and hopefully some of these questions below will get you thinking about what/who a bro really is. Don’t be shy!

Orange County- 21 F

An extreme guy who likes to act tough. When I think of a bro, the movie Harold and Kumar go to White Castle comes to mind. The guys that are causing trouble at the 7-11, that drive the big truck with a hang-glider and skateboards in back. They are bros.

White

Raging screaming music

Sports is what the bro thrives on. Surfing, dirt bikes, snowboarding, the gym, skateboarding.

Very aggressive. Always have to look and act tough. Gotta uphold their "image".

They are "too cool" for politics.

My friend mike used to be a bro. Lives out in Lake Elsinore, used to ride dirt bikes and drive a lifted truck. He thought he was cool.

What ages are "bro's"? AKA, Do you think your parents would define a "bro" the same way you would?

NO- bros are younger, about 18 to 30. My parents would define a bro as my biological brother.

Where do you think this subculture of sorts originated from?

Guys with too much time on their hands, with nothing better to do but be troublemakers and dumb asses.

LA, 22, Male

- I'm fuckin ripped, bro. I hit the gym, like, three hours a day and think about hitting the gym the other 21. Last night, i got my 6th nautical star tat. I got put it on the point of my left elbow, because my tribal has taken up all the space on my right one. I bought some sweet dickies right before that. They totally match the rest of my black SKIN / Volcom / Fallen Stars and Straps / Sublime shirts / socks that come up to my knees. I've been thinking about getting a second eyebrow piercing, but i think the glare will overwhelm the shine from the gel in my spikes. I'd wear a hat, but then my bandana would be obsolete.. not like that stops Tod!

What ethnicity are “bro’s”?

- WHITE (power) kids

What kind of music might a “bro” listen to?

- aside from Sublime (40oz to freedom = bro anthem
well, you know that song that gets too much radio play .. the one you try to avoid at all costs, but haunts you everywhere you go? bros download them all and put them on a looped playlist at every party, in every truck and during sex.
yes, they get laid.
yes, it isn't right.

What kind of activities/sports/hobbies might a “Bro” have?

- DIRT BIKING, snowboarding, (more) beer pong (than you), beating up on 'faggots' and 'dorks'... dirt biking, etc.
not skateboarding.. i mean, they carry skateboards, but they're probably stolen from "some puny faggot who was talking shit."

What kind of personality traits might a “bro” have? Are they inclined toward violence?

- Like a gorilla hopped up on testosterone, the bro will maintain masculinity at all costs. He will only fight when the opportunity presents itself. And if it doesn't,.. we'll tackle that one as it comes.

What political party might a “bro” be affiliated with?

- Republican / KKK

Do you consider yourself or any close friends a “bro”? Why or why not?

FER SHERRRRR, BRO!
living in LA or Santa Barbara, you can't avoid friendships with at least one, you know, for protection.
"nah, bro. put the bottle down. that's is my bro."

What ages are "bro's"? AKA, Do you think your parents would define a "bro" the same way you would?

- if the shoe fits..

Where do you think this subculture of sorts originated from?

- everyone who recognized the correlation between the ruining of parties, overused gym memberships, proliferation of shitty music and spike in truck sales and the type we've all been describing.
