The Casual Mafia sings this [hilarious video parodying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women) everything that's wrong with pop culture today. 'The Douchebag Anthem' talks about wearing two popped collars to the bar (with a blazer) and fake tanning while wearing Ed Hardy, parodying [guido and bro culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/techbro-handbook) in one fell swoop.
