Lucas and Marcus grew up on the mat. They began posting videos of their gymnastic stunts and dance moves to Vine in 2011, under the name Twinbotz. By 2014 had 300,000 subscribers.
They moved to California to join Jake Paul's Team 10,but soon got homesick and returned to Maryland. .
They bought a house with their two older brothers, Cyrus and Darius, and started two youtube channels, one for all four brothers, and the other for just the twins.
The four Dobre brothers record their own rap songs and music videos, mostly about how rich they are.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Marcus post mostly pranks, comedy, and dares: "Destroying our Friend's Computer", "Grocery Store Dares," "24 Hours Under Lucas' Girlfriend's Bed," "My Brother was Kidnapped by Scary Clowns."
Here they pose semi-naked in the snow.
More after the break
They take their shirts off in most of their videos, and when they don't, they post shirtless pics to advertise it anyway.
Some of the pranks and dares involve gender bending, like the four brothers' "High Heel Race Through Wal-Mart" (with their shirts off, naturally). The prank was about the shocked reaction of the uptight Wal-Mart shoppers rather than the problem of running in heels.
Lucas and Marcus both appear to have girlfriends, but like many zoomers they like playing with our expectations concerning sexuality.
Fan 1: "Are you..."
Marcus: "Yes."
Fan 2: "What if they were going to say gay'?"
Marcus: "Yes"
The twins post many photos of them kissing, hugging, cuddling, and otherwise acting like a gay couple.
Cyrus and Darius have girlfriends, too, but the four brothers have released a music video encouraging bullying victims to stop thinking that they aren't good enough. That's sort of pro-gay.
Think of it as deconstructing heterosexuality. Even some boomers did it. But it's almost expected if you're a millennial. Even more so if you're brothers (and millennials are split on if brothers or male cousins of a similar age count as incest, because it's assumed there's less power imbalance and no risk of pregnancy).
ReplyDeleteAnd zoomers frankly make millennials look like Archie Bunker. Even though by all rights neither generation should get that reference.
