The videos have since been unavailable, with the Watch Vine YouTube channel becoming closed and the Vine Machine channel ending up terminated due to multiple copyright complaints. In three months, the videos gained upwards of 950,000 and 615,000 views respectively. On June 25th, YouTuber Watch Vine uploaded a compilation of Bruh Vine clips, followed by another montage by YouTuber Vine Machine on July 6th. On the following day, Headgraphix collaborated with hip hop artists Lil Homie Twon and Dillybeatz to release a track titled "Bruh" (shown below). In the first five months, the video gained more than 460,000 views and 420 comments. On May 3rd, YouTuber Cortland Garner uploaded a video titled "The Bruh Movement Compilation," including notable #BruhMovement Vines (shown below). That week, other Viners began posting video clips with the hashtag #BruhMovement, featuring Farmer and other subjects collapsing with the "Bruh" audio clip playing in the background. On May 1st, 2014, Viner CallHimBzar posted a video of former high school basketball star Tony Farmer momentarily collapsing in court after being sentenced to three years of prison term for robbery, kidnapping and assaulting his girlfriend, accompanied by a dubbed voiceover clip of his friend and fellow Viner Headgraphix saying "Bruh." In the first five months, the video received over 440,000 plays and 5,600 likes. In September 2015, John Wall identified the source image as a photograph of him zoning out in frustration while slouched on the benchside out of injury during one of the Washington Wizard's early matches against the Atlanta Hawks in the 2012-2013 season. While the image macro's exact place and time of origin remains unclear, some of the earliest instances were posted to MemeCrunch and Reddit on August 12th and November 11th, 2013, respectively. The first known usage of "bruh" in reaction images comes from an image macro based on a photograph of NBA professional basketball player John Wall slouched on the benchside with a blank stare. On December 19th, 2003, the first Urban Dictionary entry for "bruh" was submitted by LudwigVan. "Bruh" has been used as an alternative way of saying "bro," an informal term of address for "brother," since the mid-to-late 2000s, around the same time or shortly after the word "bro" entered colloquial usage in American-English vernacular.
