"bro", "bruh", it's more of an exclamation of surprise than a title conferred to the person being addressed, but even then, I don't know, people call folks "auntie" and "uncle" who aren't actually their auntie and uncle. language is flexible. it may reference the kind of fraternity between brothers but that feeling is not limited to the male sex.
Can confirm. It sounds so weird to me, but I hear my kids and their friends call each other "bro" or "bruh" all the time, regardless of gender.
Isn't this like 'guys' including gals a generation earlier?
