I was looking at pictures of australia on the cobrasnaker, and I think it is safe to conclude that Australia has the highest rate of AltBros Per Capita in the entire solar system.
In the future, I wonder if altBros will stop wearing shirts?

‘Girls will be entry level until they have tugged off an altbro who they were gimmicked into thinking had a unique personal brand. They will graduate into being an altBroad who actively disassociates herself with that period of her life and move on to tugging altBggts and mainstreamBros.’
-Carles from the Essay “On Being an Alternative Woman”
///////
// My first meaningful alternative experience
////////

My mom was about to pick up me and a couple of my friends at a music festival. I really had to twist her arm to let me go. I wore something conservative, but brought my zany outfit in my bag. No way my dad would let me go out like that. The music festival was the most fun I had my whole life. I love being around people. I love people watching. I love listening to other people’s conversations. This is because I have an interesting perspective on the world.
As the night wound down, and we got more buzzed from half-empty cans of Sparks/Coors Light, I looked at all of my friends. They were real. We understand one another. I am proud of my alternative group. We are bigger than just one individual, and bigger than our collective alternative soul. We are relevant. We are young. We are free.
We will live forever.
Part of the us never dies.
I have arrived. I am officially an authentic alt.
My friends are spending the nite. (can’t wait 4 college when every nite is a sleep over.)

Dear Sir,
I am Barr Sanco Sea, in charge of bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance Department of Bank of Africa Benin. I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department.
We discovered an unclaimed sum of USD35Million (Thirty five Million Dollars) in an account belonging to one of our foreign customer (Herve Garboudes) who was an petroleum/gas consultant/contactor with the OPEC corporation who happens to be deceased during a business trip.
He died with his wife (Christine Garboudes) on board the Swissair Flight 111, which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in September 2nd 1998.
The plane crash was in the news. See links below for more detail information:
http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9809/07/swissair.victims.list/index.html/
Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor the relation has appeared to claim this money.
We cannot release this money unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased. Our banking guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of eight (8) years, it would be transferred into the Bank of Africa Treasury as unclaimed fund. Another officer and I in the department now decided to transfer this money into your account as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for easy collection since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go back into the bank as unclaimed debt.
Infarct it is my friend that advised me to urgently arrange to transfer out this money through another foreign beneficiary outside the country, we have decided to give you 15% of the total Sum. So please, as a matter of urgency send to me your telephone and fax numbers for effective communication. I will do my best to see that we conclude this transaction successfully on time.
Thanks
Best Regards.
Barr Sanco Sea

@m, I wouldn’t go that far although there are a lot. festivals are a good place to see bands that are just a little to big for house shows but that you wouldn’t normally make an effort to go see. It’s really just to get a little sample of whats going on or what you may have missed. NOT my favorite place to see a band but a good way to kill a weekend.

just confirmin that the dudes in the pic are NOT ALT. sorry crls.
they are actually jocks studying economics at sydney uni who decided to ‘have a huge night’ at ’some dance festival’ that they heard was happening ‘on campus’.
after crookers played (when this pic was taken) they all left, leaving DJ Funk to play to almost no one, cos he ‘wasnt bangin’.
also wanted to say that american appy is not alt in australia, i went into oxford st amapp store last wk and it was full of jocks.

Here’s the ‘RFF Guide’ to Australia:
ALTbags = ‘Bogans’ pronounced: ‘B-oh-gunz’
ALTBros = ‘Bogans who ‘get it’, i.e understand how to convincingly fake their own ‘personal brand’.
Bogans are the US equivalent to: Frat Boys, Jocks, male-idiots, et al.
ALTBGGTS = same as everywhere else; ALTBGGTS have to deal with the cruel fools in OZ as with anywhere else.
Fact: most ALTBros and ALTbags were once ’surfers’, before 2k8. hence why you can now buy a range of ALTGEAR at most surf stores in Australia.
Fact: ‘Shorts’ or ‘Board-shorts’ (aka shorts for swimming at the beach) are extremely popular in australia even on formal occasions – graduations, barmitzvahs and weddings etc. There is no shame in baring one’s skinny legs or knees in australia.
Fact: Australia is a place of ’superficial practicality’. White/anglo saxon inter-breeding has produced, ‘giant white lummox men’, who prefer to do jobs that require manual labour. These same manual labourers are generally ALTBAGS; they wear shorts.
Fact: Australians generally don’t mind if you call then, “Oz-holes”, or ‘Strines’, one must pronounce this, whilst exagerating and utilising the resonance of their sinuses and nasal area; don’t be alarmed this is the only way australians will understand you.
The food quality in OZ is quite good. Australians definitely got their ancestors, the ‘English’, beat in that department, but they still haven’t learned the simplest principles of insulation and heating. This is a genetic fault.
White New Zealanders are freaks with bad haircuts. Many of them have been rightfully beat-up but the indigenous population for stealing the country from them.

Aussie-Post Redux:
The previous posts from the OZ-hole artist, ‘MSCLES’ is quite surprising ! Most Alt-Elect-Bogans, such as MSCLES usually prefer to deal with disagreements with physical altercation, especially where ‘positive music futures’ are concerned. MSCLES was also responsible for government PSA, dealing with ALT-Teen alcohol abuse. His own macbook ‘net postings are boring – he should spend more time perfecting his ‘baggy-dad-pants’, or trying to take up any offers to produce music for ‘EDGY’ OZ films. – Triple_J is a big champion of MSCLES – tha’s because its 30+ DJs want to remain relevant until middle-age when they retire from OZ-stralias, ‘YOOTH RDIO NTWORK’…
