I remember in the book Lord of the Flies, there is a group of bros who get “LOST” on an island. They have no ’societal norms’ and break down into tribes who go to war against one another. One tribe is ‘violent’ and the other one is ‘all about peace.’ I think it’s supposed to be about how we handle being human after all with a ‘lil bit of animal’ inside of us.
Kinda feel like that’s what’s happening with altbros. Now that electro is ‘kinda dead’ and altbro fashion is no longer ‘hip’, altbros have broken down into tribes who are either peaceful (listen to conceptual core), or they have turned into violent bros, like the one above. They are hungry for blood, and they will use it as war paint / an interesting accessory for personal branding.
Kinda worried that we’re gonna see more murders in 2k9 just for the sake of ‘using the blood as face paint.’ Just think that people get kinda messed up in the quest for authenticity to the point that they are ‘murdering their bros’ just because they are too insecure to wear their lens-less glasses without a hand print.
miss u altbros.
