A Bro, or Flatbiller, is a synonym for a member of a Southern California subculture. The ‘bro scene’ is primarily centered around Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside County, Orange County, San Diego, Chino Hills, San Bernardino, and Henderson, NEVADA. The stereotypical bro typically listens to brorap-metal, metalcore, punk rock and pop punk — and wears flat billed baseball caps, Motocross, FMX, or BMX sponsor brands such as "Dickies brand" (and other similar style work pants), large garish belt buckles (iron crosses are popular), pulled up black socks, and skate shoes, but nowadays they wear "bro shoes" made by SRH, Skin, So Cal, and 187 Inc. Bros often sport many tattoos. Common bro tattoos include iron crosses, nautical stars, swallow birds, and word tattoos done in Blackletter script. Bros have become seen in increasing number since the year 2000 in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach areas of San Diego. Most bros can be observed on the beach in one of these locations doing beer bongs. In the summer, they are often ticketed for public intoxication or disorderly conduct. They have been known to frequent the Fashion Valley Mall and shop regularly at Sun Diego. Bros are often spotted nightly at bars in the PB and Mission Beach areas such as the Sand Bar and Moon Doggies.

They are often referred to as Wiggers, or Rednecks and their styling cues could also be seen as having been lifted from hip-hop/Skate Punk style. Bros typically live in the suburbs and are known for consuming mass alcohol. Especially budwieser in a can. Preferably a 30 pack. Marijuana in particular has become a staple of the bro culture as shown by the popular group the Kottonmouth Kings who adhere to the bro values. Energy drinks, in particular the brand Monster, are considered a bro staple.

Other stereotypical traits also include, outrageously lifted trucks that only rarely (if ever) see dirt and are covered in Skin, SRH, Metal Mulisha, and SoCal stickers, flat-billed hats turned to the side at a 45 degree angle, backwards, forwards, or bent up, and doing Motocross, FMX, or BMX. Bros tend to have stuck-up, carefree attitudes. Those who identify with the culture enjoy going to places such as Glamis and Lake Havasu, often with the intent to ride motorized vehicles. Even at a party they get drunk and ride their pit bikes around.

Let us not forget that their women are affectionately called "Bro-Ho's"..or "50's", if you dont get it just think. They are extremely hot and that is why they are with bro's (because bro's are the best). Notorious for their stuck up drama queen attitudes, fake hair color, and nails.

They are basically the equivalent of an urban redneck. Often bros are viewed to harbor racist attitudes, which is somewhat ironic, since many listen to rap music. Most recently, the bro population in many Southern California suburbs have been slowly decreasing, due to the subprime mortgage crisis resulting in inability to pay house payments. This is often blamed, rightly or not, to bros' perceived attitude for living in the moment rather than planning for the future, characterized by uninhibited spending on trucks, tattoos, dirtbikes, boats, and a number of other "toys" that they thought they could afford but couldn't, as opposed to investing their money in more prudent and lasting things like a college education. As gas prices rose in the late 2000s, more and more bro trucks were sold or parted out due to inability to afford their rising gasoline expenses.
