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.

necklace + jacket = bag
alternatively:
necklace + jacket = physical illness
Reply
yes indiebag!

jean jackets so 2K5.

That dude looks he sucks.
Reply
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.
Reply
Definitely an alt bag. Look at the hat, the hair, the necklace….. IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS CRLZ!
Reply
Neither! Kings of Leon couldn’t be alt if they played an AmAppy in-store show with MGMT opening for them.

BRO -
pre2k8 KOL = AltBro.
Reply
looks like he’s doing his best jagger impression. no vote (this kid rules)
Reply
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.
Reply
more bag than bro…
jacket is not alt at all tho… more indiebag
Reply
This man is altbag bcuz he:
a.) is wearing a denim jacket
b.) is wearing a greek sailor’s hat
c.) is wearing a shiny necklace
d.) all of the above
Reply
ALTBRO.
One look at his eyebrows tell us he’s not near vain enough to reach ALTBAGDOM.
Reply
i bet that whatever he is, he does not smell like something you would want to wake up next to
Reply
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

He’s in a band here in Minneapolis which is just a shittier version of Q and not U.

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