I remember in 2k8, every other post was about 'altbros' or whatever that ghey blog calls them. It's kinda weird how altbros are dying due to a multitude of factors:
- the death of electro
- the death of neon
- the rise of AnCo
- the rise of conceptual-core music
- realizing that their personal brand will ensure that they die alone/tugless
- altbros getting older and having to 'more responsibilities'
- altbros getting older and finding a new gimmick
- Am Appy hoodie branding getting to be 'too entry level'
- excessive facial hair takes away their boyish look
I'm rlly gonna miss altbros, yall. Do yall have any good altbro memories? Like when I murdered an altbro. Or the homeless altbro. Or when I started turning from altbro 2 altbag. Or childpred altbro. Or the altbro watching a DJ with a hypemachine tshirt on. Or the oldest altbro alive. Or the Obama+Altbro combo. Or the hardxcore altbro. Or altbro=love. or that altbro chillin at a music festival. Or that jokerAltBro. or the LID altbros. or mstrkrft altbro. Or hornie altbro. Or the forgettable altbros. or SkirtBro. Or invisiAltBro. Or altbro who wants 2 be a DJ. Or the 2headed altbro. Or 2 altbro thumbs up.
Or The Essence of AltBro.
Does n e 1 else miss 2k8 and 'the altbro aesthetic'?

Im genuinly worried abt the electro scene crashing, i mean, i have spent the past year building my image as a dj/producer, i even have a track on the hype most popular, am i doomed? is my personal brand going to have to undergo another expensive and timely renovation? if an altbro is forced to always change his appearance and brand than how can any of us master a brand? we will be diluted alts, constantly changing our asthetic to suit the blogs, i will be one of the only true alt bros left after the electro clash, i will not listen to crap like animal collective, i will perservere.
@BLACK people, I hear altbros are trying for a personal brand bail out due to the faltering economy.
altbro revival 2012!
Its the economy.
Less $$ + unemployment =
1) less $$ to buy fashion accessories
2) no job and so need to shave / clean up, look conservative for job interviews
3) less $$ to go out so no more party industry
Vibrant fashion and nightlife comes from disposable income. No disposable income = no more scene
Its that simple
@ron, thats so sad but true.... I actually haven't shaved for like 3 weeks because I don't feel like spending money on razors.... not to mention no haircut in like 9 months. And yet everyone seems to love the new "look"... the beard is driving me crazy and I think it makes me look too old to be accepted around other alts while consuming too much ethanol... but that doesn't happen when you can't afford to leave the house.
@ron,
so true
i'm cutting back on things big time (which isn't making my dealer happy)
yeah i'm still too into electro kind of to give up on it, xcept that i'm not into electro anymore (but kinda)
True alt bros will never die, just the label that comes with it.
@shit dick,
so true
you forgot the most important bro, SparksBro!!!!
Well, guess what Crls, I found a local liquer store thats sells Sparks, and I hella bought some today
@poop, why is it so hard to get sparks for so many? I wish I actually drank it so I could brag about it's extensive availability even in my amazingly nonalt city.
