This is my experience as a math student. The CS students and the engineers tend to be the loudest, most obnoxious bunch, right up there with business majors. People studying math or hard sciences tend to be reclusive nerds, rather than obnoxious ones.
Interesting, my experience (as a CS student) was that other CS students trended towards arrogant but reclusive and Physics students were mean, very arrogant assholes. The other sciences were pretty chilled out though. Math students weren't much different from CS students but tended to be a bit nicer, even if arrogant.
I mean I should say (which I had initially thought needed no explanation) that the majority of CS students I've met are pretty cool. It's just that the vocal minority "gigachad tech bros" were nearly all CS students. I think it's that desire to chase wealth and status which draws them to CS.
I graduated in 2018 so maybe I just ended up missing this crowd. In fact I'm not quite confident I know what "tech bro" actually means despite how commonly I see it tossed around. Are they more of a west coast thing?
I would generally stereotype a CS student from my memory as a timid high school graduate with an inflated ego from being "better" at computers than their HS peers, but this feels a bit disaligned with the "tech bros" you describe so I'm curious how things may have changed in 5 years.
