  1. The term was popularized by late rapper, XXXTentacion, in 2015. In his track, “Look at Me,” the rapper has a line that reads “she kick me out I’m like Vro.” After the track went viral on Soundcloud, fans incorporated the term into their vocabulary. Fans often used it to identify fellow XXXTentacion and Ski Mask The Slump God listeners. It has since been used in place of bro by hardcore XXXTentacion fans, but it is also ironically used by people on the internet.

How to Use Vro

  1. Use vro to ironically refer to a friend you care about. While it is a term of endearment, vro’s age and TikTok virality have caused it to be a term that is best used ironically. Using it regularly runs the risk of people looking at you like an XXXTentacion super-fan. To get a laugh out of your friend or annoy them with an unserious greeting, text them “good morning vro” with a heart. Make sure to include the heart so they know you’re being ironic.
    • Be careful when using this term with people that you don’t know. Even if you use it ironically, people may think that you’re unfunny. [3]
    • If you are a hardcore fan of XXXTentacion or Ski Mask The Slump God and want to communicate with other fans, use vro in place of bro. For example, when discussing their discographies with fellow fans online, say “Yooo Vro, what’s your favorite X and Ski collab?”
