is there an feminine equivalent to bros? because they certainly came in big numbers this year
I know!
One girl got right in front of me at Buffalo Springfield after Mike D and I had waited for a couple of hours to get that spot. She just wasn't going to move so I gave up. Said "it's a concert, you need to relax" Haha, she obviously doesn't know me. Very uncool.
Another older girl/woman on the VIP hill wanted bunny ears and we wouldn't give them up. She threatened to take them off my head. wtf?
Despite this group being the rudest fans I have ever encountered at Roo, that was my favorite complete set I have seen in my 4 Roo's. It almost boggles my mind how this can happen, my best and worst single experience at the same time.
On second thought Bunny, ya think that was our good 'ol buddy Sherrie just trying to say hello
Yeah, the bropede was definitely not welcomed by me this year. It has nothing to do with their stupid flat-brimmed hats or the obnoxious way they talk, because as long as you are a nice person I can find a way to get along with you. But these bros were just constantly being a bunch of hammered dickbags. I had to leave Pretty Lights because of it. I had to leave Big Boi because of it, and I didn't even make it to Deerhunter because I went into centeroo Thursday night to discover wall to wall bro-mags all getting their swerve on and stuntin' it out for the fine azz bonnaroo honeys. I love hip-hop, but I really hope their increasing focus on it doesn't make this the bro capital of the world.
it is one thing to step through a crowd... it is another thing to not acknowledge someone if you step on them or tap them by mistake. That is the big difference, I saw the reciprocation of "excuse me or my bad" only a handful of times. I will admit that I'm guilty of being a careful crowd mover upper but I travel alone.. If I don't there's no way I'd see anything - the crowds would smother me if I don't find a good position
Addition: I mention it because I was called within a 5 minute period, both a Wook and a Gentleman. And then I realized how little patience or space some people dole out to others in the fields. It's not a one sided argument, some folks feel they are entitled to a whole section of land at a time but by yourself it's impossible to do so.

had 2 bros ask me what was in my backpack once, obviously looking for no no words, to which I replied, granola bars, water...etc. their response, "well thats useless but it's okay because your ugly" I laugh and walk away. glad lots of these bros left after eminem, seemed like latenights saturday and all day sunday was muuuch roomier and friendlier for the most part
One fellow came up to camp and without any introduction, told me after 14 (!) hits of acid that he had come to the realization that he was the second coming. Then he asked for a beer and wandered off.
Good times.
He came through my site too
Told us he took 14 hits of acid in 07 and just now woke up as the second coming.

After waiting 10(?) hours to get rail in the pit for Mumford and Sons, a Mexican couple had the nerve to push all the way up to the front of the line and expected to get in, when they clearly had green VIP passes. Even after being turned down, the guy claimed to be my brother, which I shot down immediately. We need less of these people…

Yeah the Bro's gotsta go! I can stand the bumping and the shoving at a big show or festival but they can just be flat out annoying just to get a kick out of it.
I had one guy bump me purposely hard at EITS and then look back and stare at me until I acknowledged him (first time I have felt uncomfortable at Roo in all my visits). I asked him if it was his first Bonnaroo and he said, "um yeah bro why do you want to know". I said, "well every other douche bag I've met this weekend has also been a first timer so...". I continued staring at him until he laughed and moved on but I thought that was going to go in a direction I never want to see or be a part of at Bonnaroo.

Well this thread has been kind of a bummer. I didn't go in '11 because there weren't enough "OH SHIT CAN'T MISS" or "I've always wanted to see" bands playing.
But I was there in '10 (1st Roo!) when Dave Mathews, (through no fault of his own) whose music I fucking hate because of his fanbase that I've been exposed to, was headlining. His demographic has always seemed to me to be the children of the 1%. But as far as bros and bras I didn't have anything but a good time that weekend. Never got any negative vibes with the exception of loosing my shit during the F'Lips Dark Side of the Moon set (lesson learned. Pace yourself and don't be stupid. You can never un-eat that which has been ingested dumb-ass!).
So, I live in my own little world. It's kinda like a cave on Mars. I have no idea what the flavor of the month is. Outside of RHCP are there any bands playing that would bring the bro/bra army this year?

You all know how many Bros and Stellas Skrillex is going to attract, right? I nearly got trampled at Bassnectar last year, some sweaty dude was dancing like a maniac, his shirt was DRENCHED in sweat. I had to keep my hand on his back, with my arm stiff, so that he wouldn't run into me and break my nose. My hand was wrinkled (pruned) from his sweat.
And try getting some shade next to a Stella, freaking snobs I swear to you. Trying to get some shade under a tree like everyone else, sit down next to a few girls because it was the only shaded spot I could see under said tree. They act like I'm not worthy to be in their presence, sharing THEIR shade, under THEIR tree.
Just multiple bad experiences with those types of people. Didn't bother me a bit at the time, but in retrospect it's like, F-U biatches.

bands that bros will be all over: Skrillex, RHCP, Radiohead, The Shins, The Avett Brothers, Ludacris, Mac Miller, fun, Flogging Molly, and Ben Folds (saw ben folds live once, and was blown away by the amount of people there who were so bro'd out i couldnt look at them.)
most of the time bros arent that bad... its the ones with their parents' money flowing out of every oriface (no bro has a credit card, only bro's parents have credit cards), and the ones that are overly excited by a can of Natty Light.

It breaks my heart to say it but the bros jerks can have Bonnaroo. It was the greatest thing ever when they didn't know about it. I've moved on to a smaller festie that feels exactly what Bonnaroo used to be. Here's the keys bros jerks, you win, be a bunch of rude a$$holes all by yourselves cause I'm out. Peace.
I still plan to post on this board cause the awesome folks at Roo are right here on Inforoo. May even return if some sick lineup that attracts the right crowd drops.
I love my new festie, not gonna name it out of respect for The Roo.

There is nothing more bro than a bunch of people sitting around in their almighty pretentiousness calling everyone else bros. I bet the bros aren't the ones spending their time complaining about everyone else...
Can someone just give me a list of the types of people at Roo so I can know who to automatically dislike and feel superior to?
Bros (male)- superior to them because we don't walk around with an air of entitlement. Also, their fascination with dub-step is both revolting and uncultured. Often are shirtless with some sort of flatbrim hat. Pushy, rude, and perpetually prepared to "rage"
Bros (female)- these skanks just don't understand the sacred energy of Bonnaroo. Will step on you/your belongings without discrimination. Can be found scantily clad in various shades of neon.
Hip-hop Thugs- the single largest threat to Bonnaroo. They not only like rap music, they also embrace the "gangsta" culture; irrevocably making Bonnaroo a more dangerous place. will be wearing wife-beaters; "bling"
Hipsters- Don't engage this Bonnaroo type in conversation as they will undoubtedly judge you. Look for them to be crying during whichever set Pitchfork told them to attend. Can be found in different variations of plaid/irony, with skinny jeans cut into shorts.
Minorities - (See Hip-Hop Thugs)
Wooks- The American Gypsy. Unclean and incomprehensible; will often ramble about dr*gs, the meaning of life, food, etc. with no discernible endpoint. WHY DON'T THEY JUST LEAVE US ALONE. Avoid anyone with dreadlocks just to be safe.
