Serious is it just me or do people say "bro" or "bruh" way more often nowadays than they used to (OLDCELS GTFIH)

[Edmund_Kemper]

before the 2010s, people always used to say "dude" or "man". i'll admit in the 90s/2000s saying "bro" was already common but not as common as it is nowadays. back then, people said "bro" once in a while while usually saying man or dude. now they say "bro" every 5 seconds these days. now they only say dude or man only like 10% of the time. sometimes i hear people say bro in every sentence or they begin a sentence with "bruh".

based on the research i could do, it seems bro became more commonly used 10 years ago, in the year 2010, and i think bruh became popular in 2014. i think memes from 10 years ago like "u mad bro", "come at me bro" and "cool story bro" made "bro" much more commonly used. (those phrases/memes are no longer relevant anymore. nobody says u mad or cool story or come at me anymore unlike back in the early 2010s).

@Robtical @Emba @Sexdoll Pioneer @Bangkok or bust @Personalityinkwell @Alone75 and anyone else over 25, when did bro become a popular word and when did it start to be used super often like nowadays?

I'm not tagged in this post but yeah younger people of all races say "bruh" a lot more unironically since like the mid 2010s.

i never heard dude or man anymore

if dude where's my car came out today it'd be called bro where's my car or bruh where's my car

I still here it but "dude" is kind of an insulting way now to address weird ugly guys
"what you are doing dude?"
"wtf is wrong with you dude?"
"dude relax" "dude calm down"

if dude where's my car came out today it'd be called bro where's my car or bruh where's my car

Bro is better than dude imo. It just sounds more friendly.
Bruh is just another form of "bro" in rap and hip hop culture imo.

i still use man and dude more than bro

Sounds like personal preference. They all basically mean the same thing in the end

idk saying bruh sounds weird and sounds like someone who can't speak english

This is also a preference. Or an opinion rather.

Bros been popular since the mid 2000s at least. Bruh is rather new, at least among cringe white & mexican people who stole it from the blacks.

Bro has been said back in the 90s. Watch good burger or can’t hardly wait or that 2pac music video (can’t remember which one). But I think it was early 2010s when it really became widespread

You could be right. Started when gym culture became ultra mainstream is what I might add, which was the very early 2010s like you said.

I thought bodybuilders existed for decades?

I thought bodybuilders existed for decades?

They literally started out as a fringe sport nobody in the mainstream took serious is what I thought. & remained so until the rise of social media.

I think bodybuilding was common 20 or 30 years ago. You just see it more on social media

I didn't hang out a lot in English-speaking places on the internet that long ago because my English was still developing.

Yo hablo un poquito, pero solamente porque es parecido con Portugues.

Do Brazilians speak Spanish?

 

[Mainländer]

Do Brazilians speak Spanish?

No. They can understand and "speak" bit of it, but just because the two languages are similar.

How popular is sepultura in Brazil?

Not that popular tbh, I'd estimate it's more popular outside of Brazil tbh. But metal is a niche anyways. Metal songs never get feature in Billboard charts and shit like that.

 

[mgtow]

brother/brudah. Then the bro/bruv/brah.

Yeah, in the past, maybe here and there. Nowadays, definitely not. Not even "normal" rock songs are mainstream anymore.

In the past it was pretty common to see. All those bands played metal and became mainstream. The last time rock was mainstream was 2009

2009? Which band? I'd say 2007 roughly with stuff like the Arctic Monkeys.

2009 had a lot of popular rock music in America:

linkin park
Nickelback
Paramore
Boys like girls
All american rejects
Shinedown
Green day
Kings of Leon

Most of those bands were way older than 2009, but I see what you mean. They were still enjoying some mainstream success and featuring on top played charts and stuff like that.

I mentioned the Arctic Monkeys because they were pretty much the last new band to enjoy great success.

 

[Atavistic Autist]

yes bro

 

[kikecel]

i say "bruh" whenever I have nothing to say in response

I think rock lost its popularity because nowadays you have to promote yourself through social media and social media accounts owned by a group have less followers than social media accounts owned by a single individual. And also rock hasn’t changed much in the years and has become more generic and the media doesn’t promote rock anymore

back in the day You promoted yourself through radio and MTV

Zyzzcore?

the "gym bro style" aesthetic, posters who always respond to posts with "dyel?", "ngmi", "were all gonna make it" and other zyzz quotes
quite annoying tbh
