POST MORE ALT BROS
I’m really happy that Alternative Bros were welcomed with open arms. While we usually focus on slutz, AZNs, and GHEYz, we should never overlook the social importance of the the straight, unmemorable male. When packs of alternative bros hang out, and enjoy things together, they are working to make alternative experiences (such as parties and concerts) more meaningful, without the pitfalls of ending up in a Long Term Relationship.
Alternative Bros are not solitary dudes. Bros roam in packs. They value their brohood. Bros probably don’t have girlfriends, so they value the herd. It’s kind of like how fish swim in schools to look like a shark (sorry, not a life sciences major).
Is this guy an alternative bro? Probably not.
Is he on his way to a Donnie Darko 2 audition?
Alternative bros are usually hanging out with other bros. While they value their bro-hood, they are all competing for the same goal, which can sometimes strain their friendship. Bros value one another, but they also want their night to end with the soft tug of a woman.
When photographed, alternative bros show a range of emotions. Some popular ones include:
“I am inherently meaningful.”
“My lifestyle am not just a phase. Culture and fashion have finally caught up to me & I am proud of my generation. We are special. We have the internet.”
“Love me… I’m so sick of my bros.”
“These are my bros. We are destined for big things where we express ourselves artistically, and get rich for doing so.”
“I am a bro with facial hair. This is me.”
What do you think is the most important part of being an alternative bro?

The most important part of being an alternative bro is balancing your bro-hood with your sex life. You must never leave the bros, but you must please the ladies and remain un-whipped.

Alt-Bros before Alt-Hos

the most important part of being an alternative bro is to differentiate yourself from every other person in your vicinity, whilst still ensuring to appear the most popular person in the world

rolling with 3-5 alt bros is like being in a band. each bro fills a roll and together, they function as one nearly complete human being (at least at parties.) there has to be a record collector/dj music nerd bro, a snarky and clever bro (to keep the other bros and ladies laughing,) and a pretty/bangable bro who usually leads the way when it comes to fashion as well. Other potential bro-archetypes include:
1. crazy/violent/self-destructive bro
2. ghey bro
3. rockr bro
4. “street” bro
5. coke dealer bro
Of course it isn’t unheard of for 3-5 of the SAME archetype to all hang out together either, which can be extremely creepy.

“so okay, I don’t want to be a traitor to my generation and all, but I don’t get how guys dress today. I mean, come on! it looks like they just fell out of bed, and put on [their grandmother's prescription glasses], took their greasy hair, and covered it up in some [alternative/ironic headpiece], and like, we’re expected to swoon? I don’t THINK so!!!!”

being in an alt bro pack is awsome, the ladies drool, and even the big-dudes-that-could-kick-your-ass-since-you-did-steal-their-girls respect since they don’t want to mess with your fresh clothes or ruin the life of the party.

Can we discuss the possibility of Altbro-Lites? I feel like altbro-lites would have a girlfriend (not always seeking a nightly mate), and possess mainstream tendencies (My Chemical Romance as a guilty pleasure). Altbro style without the altbro mentality. These exist…

umm criminal castle….i remember clueless and i think the way you reworked this quote and claimed it as your own is very disappointing to all those who remember all the iconic quotes that Cher facilitated.
