Brony

A word used to refer to a fan of the show My Little Pony, normally the new revived version of the show known as generation 4 or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It suddenly became popular when released in 2010, especially in America and it is known there are now millions of bronies spread worldwide.

Plural: Bronies

The majority of these people are male and around the age of 20 although this varies widely.
Many non-bronies seem to think all male bronies are gay/bisexual/pansexual ect.
This, however, is a common misconception.
The children's cartoon is well known for appealing to its adult fans, great animation and interesting characters which are not something you would normally see in a kid's show. Despite being known as a programme for young girls, in reality the creator of the new version (Lauren Faust) made it for families.
A brony is often a happy person. They could be anyone, even people you wouldn't expect; for example, the most popular girl/boy, the geeky quiet girl/boy or your best friend.

Girl: Oh, so you like My Little Pony? Me too!
Boy: Really? That's cool. Favourite pony?
Girl: Fluttershy. She's just like me, although a bit girlier.

Boy: Same! She's adorable.
Girl: Yeah, I agree. You sound like an awesome brony.
