I am a bro who is afraid of germs. Typically, germs are considered to be tiny organisms, or living things, that can cause disease. I am very afraid of dying, and usually wear swine flu masks in public, as well as gloves that protect my hands.

However, I am also afraid of nontraditional germs. I am afraid of germs that are 'poisonous ideas.' I am afraid of things like 'racism', 'bad fashion', and anything that might taint the purity of my authenticity. I must protect myself from germs. I am germabrobe.

I have created a personal brand/a sense of reality and most of the ideas/people/objects/oxygen that I will encounter today are direct threats 2 who I am as a person. My body is a temple. My mind is a temple. My soul is a temple. My personal brand is a temple. I must protect myself much like George W. Bush protected the United States against 'the brown people of the Eastern World." Much like terrorists don't 'get' our freedom, mainstreamers/general-bros do not 'get' me.

I think Michael Jackson might have been the original Germaphobe-for-the-sake-of-keeping-bad-ideas-away. Feel like he was just a chill lil guy who wanted to 'stay a child' and not be exposed to the terrors/downfalls of humanity. He needed to live in a reality where 'playing with urself & other fellow children' was 'okay'--in a world where 'age is just a number.'

Michael Jackson was protecting his version of reality. He is the greatest entertainer of all-time, therefore he does not need to breathe the same air that 'normal people' do. He can't afford to get ill from germs [via the commonman]. In order to be a relevant symbol/public figure, u must let the world know that u r above 'regular' public spaces, societal norms, governing laws, and basically just about everything.

Being a cultural germaphobe is more than just a personal branding decision. It is kinda like some sort of 'very passionate, no-bullshit ideology' 4 people who want to live 'a better life.'
