Which Bro is Not In the Band? ™ is a new HRO gimmick where the readers must identify which bro is not actually in the band even though he looks like he is in the band/is trying too hard to look like a bro in a relevant band. The pictured band is Grizzly Bears.

Which bro is not in the band?
a) Bro A
b) Bro B
c) Bro C
d) Bro D
e) Bro E
Kinda confused by Bro E. He looks not as authentic as the other bros [via highlights + designer plaid], so I guess maybe him.
miss u John Norris
sad that VJs were laid off MTV
and now must search for meaning
in the current mess of the music industry
sad abt the
death of print media &
simultaneous death of MTV as a source 4 new music.
Just want to be a bro
in a band
and maybe start a blog
about indie music if I can’t be in a band.
This is a post about Grizzly Bear / MTV VJs / John Norris / the blogosphere.

@a. No. He was just an easy-going bro until the metro-sekshul era, and his style began a slow morph into what we now call alt.
Serena Altschul was the first altbro

@a, no, that was probably the yuppiebros [via 80s], who did blow/listened 2 meaningful NewWave+Punk but were also douchebags from wall street who spent all day ruining the economie [via derivatives+madoff+AIG] and all nite partying [via authentic 2nd-person novel 'BriteLytez, MnngflCity'].

john norris = unmeaningfull (meaningless)
h8 j.n. for his Lack of Depth
evry altbro needs depth
e.g. looking sort of dpressed at a party even though ur girlfriend/macbook/family/pets are all ok.

Dear John Norris,
WTF? Please die.
P.S. Fuck plaid. I need at least 10 more years to stomach that shit c/o the 90’s.
Reply
but for realz, norris is 50, give him some credit for at least hanging with mainstream alt bands. will he be at wavves at cake shop on sunday? will he walk up to max fish after the show and think it’s still alt? probably. miss u 2006

They all look a little bit sketchy except for number D. The guy on the far right looks like Ben Stiller in a wig, dressed as an alt.

you know a trend (plaid) is dying when you see the sorority girls at your elite state university wearing it. all the sorority girls think they are alt when they wear a plaid shirt with their leggings and listen to the girl talks.

Miss U Tabitha Soren/Serena Altchul/Martha Quinn.
John Norris is a tru AltBro because he loves Bradford Cox and all of his endeavors.

Plus Serena has ALT right at the beginning of her last name…
No one will ever be as worthless and meaningless as Suchin Pak. Not even Sway Dizzle.

Since G-Bear is my ‘favourite’ (Canadian spelling) band of all time… gonna have to go with ‘A’. Neva seen him before? Doesn’t look like he could write intelligent music. Band member ‘E’ is the classic ‘guy who looks like he’s pooping all the time’ who is in most good bands.
