Bruh Moment

An ironic meme, playing on the past high volume usage of the word bruh, both in the majority's language and especially within the black vernacular. It used to mean another word for brother, brethren, then it shifted towards an expression of disbelief or slight disapproval, used mostly in the midst of coming to terms with something. Now it's degraded towards a mere reflection of it's past glory, used as an ironic meme meaning that whatever is within the meme is something which you should go "bruh" at, and react with disbelief, as it's an epic bruh moment. Though this usually means it's anything but epic, take the overused: "My Wife Left Me" and it's many variations. It's now been mostly ditched, replaced by many other words, take "vro" and the resurgence of "bro". The usage of the word bruh peaked in 2016-17, and died in 2018. It began it's reign around august in 2014, after the video of Tony Farmer's reaction to being given a prison sentence became popular, and his expression of disbelief, the aforementioned "bruh" became disseminated throughout mass media through meme culture, and vines, in which the sound clip would be used heavily.
