ALTBRO or ALTBAG? [A KingOfLeonAlt Edition]

ALTBRO or ALTBAG is an HRO gimmick where I find pix of alternative males. Readers then must decide if the person pictured is an altBro or an altBag.

Please justify your answer in order to receive full credit.

For example: “He is an altBag bc he is wearing a chandelier necklace.’

or “He is an AltBro bc he is wearing a hat with a lil bill.’

    altbro. he looks like a tote gae with that necklace. now if he had a nice chest-tuft and was wearing v-neck, i’d do him, but not in the state he’s in now.

    Does he have denim on for pants? he’s altBag. If he has black pants and not the canadian tuxedo, it’s an altBro.

    altfagg = neclace + hat he most likely acquired while shopping at a “chic” girls boutique store
    +10 pts for the hair and the confidence to wear that though.

    Definitely an alt bag. Look at the hat, the hair, the necklace….. IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS CRLZ!

    Neither! Kings of Leon couldn’t be alt if they played an AmAppy in-store show with MGMT opening for them.

    looks like the biggest bag ever. most bros are manscaped or metrosexuals and those eyebrows + hair combo are not flattering. but they are ironic.
    and he’s also not utilizing any current hot trends, like too many neon colours or bomb shelter jackets.

    @Anonymous,

    dude you got it backwards!

    altbros are like alt fratboys

    altbags are like alt douchebags—ie dbags you’d see in a eurotrashy nightclub in head to toe armani exhange with waxed eyebrows and more hair gel than their gf.

    would be standard awlt sans small brim hat and graphic t.

    as is would catch him outside the club with a straight right and make off with his ceiling piece, sneakers (i’m thinking probably some noncommital light pastel blue or raspberry pumas, sambas, or cortez?), and wallet.

    might take rest of disgustogear just to trade in for credit at local second hand, 2

    Kings of Leon aren’t even remotely alt anymore,
    which makes this guy just a bag — there’s nothing alt about it.
