HIPSTER RUNOFF

ALTBRO or ALTBAG is an HRO gimmick where I find pix of alternative males. Readers then must decide if the person(s) pictured are altBro(s) or altBag(s) or a 'lil mix of both kinda like an interracial child.'

Please justify your answer in order to receive your HRO points.
For example, 'they are altbros bc they tilt their hats at a >=45degree angle.'
or 'they are altBros bc they were 2 scared 2 get fashion blggd alone.'
or 'they are authentic AltBags because they took their altBro relationship to the next level by purchasing matching dog tags.'
or 'they are altBros bc they wear sneakers and t-shirts with sneakers on them.'

Yall--I used to think that only wearing Yankees/Dodgers caps were alt/'hip hop authentic' or whatever. I don't know if this guy is wearing an Arizona Diamondbacks hat because he likes the team, or he saw it and realized it coordinated with his zany purplish outfit, or because it's a 'random obscure hat' in the foreign country that he lives in.

It's weird 2 think about our global 'thrift store' economy. On my side of the world, the jersey of a popular Professional Japanese Gymnastics team might be 'ironic/alt', but on the Eastern side of the world, it would be 'mainstream.' I guess that's why American Appy's brand is s0 global--there are no unique identifiers (except sometimes stripes/Afrikaan prints).

soo weird how the internet is uniting alts around the world into a global scene that we all need 2 b passionate about. We have a responsibility 2 do more research instead of just putting on clothes with logos that we don't truly understand. It would kinda be like wearing a sillie shirt with a 'nazi brand logo.'

but srsly, do yall believe in aligning alternative personal brands with 'iconic/ironic baseball caps', or do u think it's a little bit too 'urban streetwear fashion asshole'ish?
