Proud Boys is a far-right men's organization[1][2][3][4] with presences in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.[5][6][7] It was founded in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes. McInnes describes the group as a "pro-Western fraternal organization" for men who "refuse to apologize for creating the modern world."[8] Proud Boys has been described as both alt-right and alt-lite, [9][10] but although McInnes has denied the group is alt-right [11] is it one is is one of the few such groups still strongly active after a year in which the broader movement has been battered by lawsuits, deplatforming, and infighting.[12]

The group takes its name from the showtune "Proud of Your Boy," a song cut from the Disney film Aladdin, in which the title character apologizes to his mother.[10][13] The group has Fight Club-style initiations, and masturbation rules.[13] Their unofficial uniform is khaki shorts and Fred Perry polo shirts.[14]
