ALTBRO or ALTBAG is an HRO gimmick where I find pix of alternative males. Readers then must decide if the person(s) pictured are altBro(s) or altBag(s) or a ‘lil mix of both kinda like an interracial child.’

Please justify your answer in order to receive your HRO points.
For example, ‘they are altbros bc they tilt their hats at a >=45degree angle.’
or ‘they are altBros bc they were 2 scared 2 get fashion blggd alone.’
or ‘they are authentic AltBags because they took their altBro relationship to the next level by purchasing matching dog tags.’
or ‘they are altBros bc they wear sneakers and t-shirts with sneakers on them.’

it is like they did not commit to either, but instead are trying to make friends and impress people by listening to lupe fiasco and going to a MSTRKRFT show
plus they are wearing douchebag sunglasses, and have their cell phones at there sides. wtf?

Totalll altbagz
Guy on the left: Sticker still on the hat, lame-frame sunglasses (possibly knock-off something or other), phony electro-war dogtags (he prbbly got em from the girltalk merch booth), shirt OVER the cell phone case, and ‘look at me’ shoes/laces.
Guy on the right: *sigh* aviator frames + fade tint on the lens, dawg tags, pooka bracelet, graphic tee w/shoez on it *dumb, shirt ALSO OVER the cell phone case (even tho’ it looks like he’s tryin to hide it), and ugly shoes/laces combo.
I’ll bet both of ‘em started listening to J Dilla after they heard him on Adult Swim and only started listening to MF Doom after his collabo w/Danger Mouse.
It’s funny bcuz they look like every other dbggt that goes to my local community college.

altbros: bad herr, a rl altbag would have grown that shit out
but then i think altbag b/c their pants are too low to be altbro and too loose to B legit altbag, so they are 0% zany and 100% ALTBAG SLUDGE

DOODERDOIK!>? srsly? fggts. not even remotely alt-anything. they went to urban outfitters paid 75 for a tshirt. found some laces that GLOW, not match and of course tilted the lid. yet these COULD be authentic alts………. in areas of concentrated fggts perhaps this is the best they could do.

ALtBro. The shoe laces are a giveaway. I bet they keep all sorts of different color shoe laces inside their Civic SI/ Integra/ 350Z and they change em’ before every girl talk show they go to. They wanna be altBags but their ‘big break’ in the form of ‘producing their own beats’ has yet to materialize. They’re wearing glasses cause mom’s kimchi was too spicy today.

probably the most harmless altbros carlez has yet posted

atlbros coz they are still young .. the alt world surrounds them so they apply that to their fashion… any altbro wears shades nowadays.

100% pure altbag. matching cell phone cases, dog tags, and slight upward tilt of the head says it all.

If you were standing near them, you’d be able to smell the Axe body spray and the Jaeger Bombs they just did (which were done warm cuz it was left in their Civic SI/ Integra/ 350Z [good call, Gaspard]). Their pretty harmless, unless they challenge you to a game of DDR, over which the give enthusiastic high-fives/bro-fives.
*Probably Canadian though: who the fuck wears cell phone cases on their belts except for Dad’s? If not foreign, the cell phone case is the most zany part of the get up. And even then, it could be better if they were issued by Pepsi or had a dbg ad logo on it (maybe, ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ or something…because you know these guys hit up McD’s…a LOT)
Tough call, but I’m going with Alt Bag and it hinges on the way they’re slightly smirking and tilting their heads at a >45deg. angle as if they’re too cool and “s0 0veR” wherever they are…even though it’s near the dumpsters of a T.G.I.Fridays.

They are AltBros because I’m using Firefoxxx to look at them.

they are not alt in the slightest. gAyZNS

75% altbr0 because the personal brands lean more toward “urban, I look like i could be in the Cool Kids, but still LUUUURV bloghause” and 25% altbag due to “authentic unrecognizable ethnicity”

not alt at all, just BROS with a gimmick (cellphonecases).
They get negative alt points for thinking they are SNCKRFRKRS, and even more negative alt points for actually thinking being a SNCKRFRKR is kewl.
ENTRY LEVEL, BECKHAMGLASSES WEARING, BIG FONT T-SHIRT SNCKRFGGTS.
Maybe Im just h8ing because I don’t have 2 much money 2 much time:(
I wonder if he gives some 2 humanitairy organizations if he really doesn’t need it all?

Oh shit. That’s my brother! Yeah, he’s a little alt-bag. I think he should go back to his b-boy style. I mean… who is he kidding?! He’s just a little filipino kid who loves break dancing. He’s in this weird stage right now where he’s still trying to find himself. So, please give him a break.

While unconscious tugs are prity “unkewl,” in 2K12, they will be highly auth and a valued experience.

Bros. Hands down. But not alt bros. Just bros. Kinda FGGT but just bros. Nothing more nothing less. The AZN Filipino bros that spend too much time pretending to be America’s next dance crew. See too many of these in Toronto/its suburbs on a daily basis.

These are hypebeast, they can’t afford to wear BAPE so that just put on anything that looks like it possibly could.
I’ll go with bags for the fact that they have their matching blackberry holders on the hip.
