Sometimes I’m out in public, and I see a group, and I think either
a) I wish I could be bros with that pack of bros
OR
b) Glad I’m not associated with that pack of leftover bros who banded together to come bros
I was looking at groups of bros who I might want 2 search for on FaceTwitspace, and I wondered which group would take my personal brand to the next level [via association].
Would yall rather be bros with Chris Martin Viva La Vida Altbro & his army of Mainstreamers experimenting with alternative parties? [via an AZN 'flipping the bird']
Or The Freshly Purchased Am Appy Products Crew?

It’s really important to have a crew that looks ‘legit.’ When u walk into an alternative event, you have to look like you ‘belong.’ U don’t want to look like an 18 year old entry leveler who ‘wants 2 find out what Sparks tastes like.’
Make people believe that high level alternative events are your home-away-from-home. Pretend that u were ‘on the guest list.’ Don’t look like you find an event to be meaningful or stimulating, or else u will look like some1 who is ‘new 2 the scene.’
Your personal brand is contingent upon the people you surround yourself with.
Enigmatic brands are usually better than ‘bright, neon’ brands.
Doesn’t matter if u hang out with hollow people in order to establish your brand before moving on to people with ‘more depth.’
Don’t be afraid 2 be selective with ur crew.

it is always always always a bad idea to pick ur krew based on how you perceive them to be before integrating urself. they almost never turn out to be satisfying (like any relationship). its a sad mistake
that being said, go with the bros u ‘connect with’ but just align ur brand with the best looking one, just in case pictures end of on facebook y’all

the way i establish my personal brand is ROLLING ALONE! that way it is my own personal brand- i dont need no brobags to interfere with my headbanging to justice and the smiths! if my bro wants to come with me that’s cool but otherwise i got no problem rollin solo. less dudes = better chances for me to get inside. also gives you better chances of bagging an altchick if you got that swagga!

think my ex-alt-gf left me cuz my crew wasnt authentic enuff. she moved in w/ a bunch of musicians. shes bangin a drummer. (lulz)
think they just blaze while listening to the popular band the fleet foxes.
theyre hardcore conceptual. the men make furniture and the women crochet keut scarves for money. theyre talking about ‘buying land’ and starting an ‘organic villiage.’
think theyre an alt-cult not crew. kinda glad 2 be outta the scene and chillin w/ my bros. 2k9 is too real for me.
im drunk. miss her.

Fuck off you pieces self-proclaimed hipster pieces of shit. Do you really spend your time going on blogs to make fun of people. You fucking people really need to do this to make your hipster selves feel better? Everyone on this website are the original indie kids! fuck off, you heard the fucking killers a year ago, jumped on the trendy bandwagon and went to the nearest urban outfitters. Get a fucking a life you scummy self-absorbed asses.

@Bromantical.,
so crazy, really think i’d chill w/ the 1st crew. the only thing holding the second crew together is the hottie w/ the black hair and her fist under her chin.
<3 girls who watch nappydynamite y’all.
no but srsly, that altbroad’s keut and she’s the only 1 in the second crew. 1st crew’s girls are keuter – that’s all that matters. oh and they seem to be more racially diverse which is 2k?

My ex-alt-gf left me too because i had friends who wore “jock” clothing and also because i am an asshole. I love the bands i listen to but sometimes when i go to shows, i have to look at these people. I prefer 21 and over shows. but you’ll get these am appy people there too. stop making your pants gold, it’s not edgy or whatever you want to call it?

im gonna go with the 1st group, the 2nd one have awful haircuts. they arent even good in the “ironically bad” way, they are just half assed.
basically they need to learn to tip their alt hairstylists.

OKAY DUDEZ, the “alt” “chris martin” “latino” *drum roll* … is actually a native frenchmen who happens to have had an internship with Fischerspooner and lived in France for a majority of his life (therefore he has accomplished more than 95% of you). He more or less is an all around debonair character. I’m just getting to know him, but his name rocks more than anything mentioned on this site. All yalls lingo sucks, this blog sucks, you people suck. Nice Beatles references on the suit too, hopefully that took all of your creativity. Did you cool kids watch MIA rock it with a prego stomach on the grammys? Seriously, thank you for whoever hacked this site.
