Brah is a variation of bro and bruh with an alternate skater- or surfer-style accent. People typically use it informally when addressing close friends, but they may also use it with strangers in contentious matters.
Additionally, people use it in various contexts, including in person, in messages, and online. For example, you may see your good friend for the first time in several months and say, "Brah! So good to see you!" Or, you might message a rando online over a sports hot take, "brah. Mahomes is the GOAT. Go touch grass."
