dudebros
Bro culture embodiments
Dudebros are young men who embody a particular type of casual, often oblivious masculinity—typically associated with sports fandom, partying, and fraternity culture.
The term carries mild derision, suggesting superficiality or a lack of self-awareness: The bar was packed with dudebros in backwards caps.
A dudebro might be harmless but annoying, or the word might imply entitled behavior toward women.
