The Basic Bro on AliExpress

Since AliExpress has started sneaking its way into being a household name, it's fascinating hearing different perspectives about the site from different social groups. My new weekly highlight is my Retail Marketing lecture/workshop, which is ripe for discussions about online shopping and contains a group of very talkative bro-friends. These two factors coincide quite nicely.


In between talking about the cricket, the trio of Basic Bros (the male version of the Basic Bitch) had a chat about AliExpress. It went something like this...

Bro 1: This guy got some AliExpress shoes this morning.
Bro 2: Brooooooo.
Bro 3: Yeah, and they fit real well!
Bro 1: Broooooooooo.
Bro 2: I bought some sunnies off AliExpress on a Friday, they arrived on the Monday. It's crazy, Brosephs.
Bro 1: Dude.
Bro 2: I might buy a jacket I found on there. It's crazy how good the prices are. Bro diggity.
Bro 3: Cricket sports points.
Bro 1: Beer.
Bro 2: Bros 4 life.



Yeah. So, that's what your typical Kiwi 20-something year old is doing on AliExpress, in case you were curious.


Also, if you are one of the aforementioned Bros, maybe spend less time online shopping and more time doing the fucking assigned reading before class. Missed my bus because of you slow fuckers.
