I know, isn't that crazy?! lol...the people in this forum are always referring to these guys as being from Santee...ugh...we lived in Santee and never noticed anything like this phenom, maybe we were bros and didn't even know it,lol

[Oerdin]

Never heard of it.

[NorthSDLifer]

Like crip's or blood's? Or surfer's?

Anyhoo. The stereotype I know is backward-cap-wearing, Moose McGill's-patronizing, frat-ish-looking, Red Bull + whatever-drinkin', nu-metal/hard rock listening guys. In other words, dudes who hang out in P.B. and Mission Beach - and Gaslamp, too, I suppose. Before you scream at me, that's a stereotype.

If you go to the mountains, they're the guys who snowboard in packs, maybe with bandanas hanging off their bagging pants, maybe smelling of pot, drinking PBR on the lift, or talking about fighting some guy who dissed their girl or blasting off some rail, all while somehow showing off their oh-so-special physiques.

Come on guys, you really don't know what Bro's are? They are the future Rednecks of San Diego.

Definition of a Bro:

Ages-whenever to about 30 years old, or even 35

Loves lifted trucks, but it has to be a Ford particular, don't know why.

Wears a lotta black clothing, flat bill style hats, a mix between a Cholo look and White Trash.

They worship Skin Clothing and every other off roading brand you can think of.

They love going to the desert and the mountains such as Glamis to do there bro thing, like riding quads, destroying there trucks by off roading them to hell.

They listen to Hip Hop, and Rock music. Live in East County of San Diego, but you can still find them just about everywhere in SD now days. The trend has even rub off on some Mexicans, so you'll see a Mexican dude in a huge lifted Chevy truck riding down the street, looking a all broish, trying to look tough/macho and cool, ahhhh...I'm sorry it just doesn't look right

They love gettin drunk, smoking that green sticky ekee, watching UFC fighting, and are pretty dumb to talk to.

Are sons of Redneck dads that works as a contractor/plumbing/construction worker, so he usually drives a truck, and the whole truck loving phenomenon eventually comes back around to the son. Or Bro's can come from a middle, or upper middle class family background, but these guys are flaky, and are more like wannabe Bro's, but preppy in a way.

Some can be racist, but most of them are just big wussy's, I know a former Bro that had a Confederate Flag mounted in his room! He was a closet racist, and never bluntly said or did anything to harm a minority. He mainly has Mexican friends, which is strange? I just think he was confused at the time. Where does he live? Of all places.........guess................Santee

They are not skin heads in a sense, so you wouldn't worry about a Bro coming up to you and doing anything racist, but maybe the more hardcore types that are cross breeds skin heads that live in Lakeside could actually harm a minority in a very bad way.


Here's a quote I took off from a website, an even better definition of what a bro is



ussually white guys, with lifted trucks. listen to the newest rap, hardcore, rock.
example- KMK, Disturbed, lil' john etc.

clothes-
-wear hates at an angle with the visor part fliped up. sometimes have a sign or symbol on it.
-wear skin and no fear shirts.
-jerseys, bandannas, or no shirt at all.
-generaly dress in all black.
-wear big rings, have plugs.
-ussualy seen in the OC, Califronia area.
-use the west side sign more often then needed.
-ussualy seen with black spiked hair.
-into metal mulisha
-wear sunglasses
-kind of in to them selfs

-interests
dirt bikes. smoking. drinking. weed. girls.

they dont really care about much. they Normally want to start something or get into a fight. puff there chest up to look bigger and/or tougher.

At a party*

josh-"Why is that Bro over there wearing his hat like that?" (in a loud voice)

Greg-"I have no idea. it looks so dumb."

Bro- " WhAt DiD YoU SaY ******?? YoU WaNt Me To BeAt YoUr ***? HUH? what? what?"



Here's more LOL!

1. Friend; commonly used in greetings.

What’s up bro?
I vouch for Todd, we’ve been bros since way back.

2. An alpha male idiot. This is the derogatory sense of the word (common usage in the western US): white, 16-25 years old, inarticulate, belligerent, talks about nothing but chicks and beer, drives a jacked up truck that’s plastered with stickers, has rich dad that owns a dealership or construction business and constantly tells this to chicks at parties, is into extreme sports that might be fun to do but are uncool to claim (wakeboarding, dirt biking, lacrosse), identifies excessively with brand names, spends a female amount of money on clothes and obsesses over his appearance to a degree that is not socially acceptable for a heterosexual male. The female equivalent of the Bro is the Bro Hoe. Bro Hoes are Bro groupies that hang around bros, many of whom are actually quite hot and are thus spared the scorn that is heaped on Bros.


My sisters new boyfriend is an idiot; the dude is a total bro.

rofl, boy the term "bro" has changed since I moved away. It used to be just what guys would call each other, "hey bro, what's up" then it sort of changed to "bra"....."hey bra, what's up"...maybe because there was a new breed of bros moving in,lol...they sort of sound like redneck wiggers....and totally rofl'ing about anyone having a confed flag on the west coast! Silly confused boys rofl

[5Lakes]

LOL about "bros," a true SoCal phenomenon. You don't really see this culture in other parts of the county. Sure there are rednecks and ATV riders all over, but not Californiacated like your typical Bro. In other parts of the county these types usually hunt, wear Carharts, and listen to hard rock or country. I used to live in PB and had a roommate who exhibited many of these Bro traits. Was not a bad guy, but not exactly the most cultured person you will ever meet.

[NorthSDLifer]

Ha, ha. SDLife's post was better, gotta admit.

[Axxlrod]

I've seen these guys. I thought it was a 909 (Inland Empire) thing.

It seems to be a sort of micro-culture, but not really a racist thing.
