a term popularized by tiktoker Gabe Escobar to describe a specific genre of movies/albums/tv shows that are well-made, and superficially deep, but mainstream enough to appeal to an audience that does not usually watch or listen to more complex media. the slight, palatable level of art and
introspection in these forms of media gives the illusion of being revolutionary amazing to consumers who are more averse to deeper forms of media. movies/albums/tv shows that fall into the genre are typically enjoyed by frat boys due to the fact that they are casually watchable/listenable but still have some deeper meaning that rewards the viewer. however, to an individual who frequently consumes more
universally acclaimed and complex media, the frat bro ten movies/albums/tv-shows are considered to be generally good but not groundbreaking in any way.
