Public Notice to Philly’s Bro Culture: Fall Back
(Photo from Djaptone’s Instagram)
Found at 49th and Baltimore… Not a huge fan that this playfully (I hope) seems to imply violence against anyone, but I get the sentiment and, more or less, like it.
If you’re asking, what’s Bro Culture? Let me try and explain… From my understanding, it can actually refer to a bunch of different groups specifically, but it mostly it refers to middle/upper-middle class straight, usually white, males aging from about 18-26 who demonstrate underlining (or otherwise) misogynistic, racist and/or homophobic attitudes, aside from being rather self-centered and egotistical. Men who, generally speaking, lack empathy and have had very little exposure to people outside of their upbringing. Many wear popped-collar Polos and think that women walking down the street love to hear complements yelled at them.
Again though, that’s my written-at-3:30am definition, so please feel free to throw your two cents in below…

The mission statement of which proudly promoting: “Peace in our schools, peace in our city, peace in our world!”
