7 How to identify a broi

With the arrival of globalisation, modernity and mass media, different ways of life are increasingly being adopted or imitated by the youth of the day. Whether this is due to their thirst to catch the attention of others, due to an identity crisis or due to the excessive influence of media is still a matter of contention. For the time being I shall limit my discussion just to explain a peculiar group of people who call themselves chunkz or freaks and roam around in the cities of Kerala.

Since there is much difficulty in bringing the whole set of yoyo guys under the ambit of a universal definition we can only explain the characteristics that will enable one to identify a broi from a crowd.

A typical Broi is one who exhibits two or more characteristics mentioned below.

• They write in alternate capital and small letters on social media.
• The easiest way to become a bro is not to bathe for a week, not to comb your hair, if possible use a hair band.
• These people wear colourful costumes. Blue shirt, yellow pants, red shoes, white belt. They try to be exhibit as many colours of the spectrum as possible.
• They greet each other by saying bro, chunk...
• These guys always carry a camera or mobile phone with them and click pictures, especially selfies no matter wherever they go. In other words, they are always ready for a photo session.
• Profile pictures of yoyo boys will always be photo shopped or edited with extra brightness, extra colour.
• They are always online
• They have no job, no income and no asset.
• They don’t know how to talk but know how to chat; they never use their brain but always use their fingers.
• Active in virtual world, passive in real world.
• Use word such as F88k, yo, whazup, pWolichu, LoL…
