The "lax bro" would be extinct if girls and employers avoided them. For reasons beyond logic or comprehension this does not happen.

Jock culture injected with a lot of elitism.

It is a concept. The hallmarks include hair that is long enough in the back to come out of the back of the helmet (flow), an outlandish uniform that looks like pajamas, and a manner of speaking that is reminiscent of Jeff Spicoli (Fast Times at Ridgemont High fame). The ability to play the game well is not necessary. Most of the better players are not lax bros, but they are amused at the concept of the lax bro--and the players who try to be a lax bro.

The nicest lax families I’ve met are from places other than the NE.

I would not underestimate the connections being a “lax bro” can open up.

"Lax Bro" is a care-free, go with the flow, nothing bothers me, carpe diem attidude stressed-out, pushed to the limit, over-extended boys adopt to cope with the goat-rope of a life their parents put them through in the often futile quest to ensure the cyle of lax - private schools - prestige colleges - $ continues for another generation.

I don't think "Lax Bro" is synonymous with "aszhole"

Your kid didn't become an aszhole by playing lacrosse. If he was going to be an aszhole, he would be one even if he didn't play lacrosse.

As the saying goes (sort of), Mammas don’t let your babies grow up to be Lax Bros...

It's real. Don't let your kids plat lacrosse in NVA.
