I think it's generic. Why bother with going out of your way to say "take care"? It reminds me of an old fashioned person (or just old). What kind of relationships do you think say that? None of my friends say that, or family.

If we all went about picking on every single phrase people use, we would cease to communicate. Even if we were only to use smoke signals, even some smoke signals would be deemed over used. Be happy that someone uses overused phrases in the fact that you are communicating. Non-communication is a breakdown of civility.

Your brother is your brother and obviously he loves you and he wants you to take care and be a happy person! It doesn't have to do with an old fashioned person!
Do you want maybe for your brother to be on his own, take care about himself only and become very selfish instead of what he is really! You should be very happy with him and think about the time when maybe the people will not care about each other anymore, the world is changing everyday and you should keep your loved ones close to you as much as you can, because you never know what will happen tomorrow!

I use "take care" sometimes. When I use this closing I mean "take good care of yourself." I don't like "Goodbye" because it seems so permanent. I don't always want to wish someone "best regards" or "sincerely" because of the nature (or tone) of the correspondence. In that sense, "take care" is kind, but not formal or cold. Depending on your age, I could be classified as old, but I won't qualify for any senior discounts anytime soon. ;-)

There's nothing wrong with saying Take Care on parting.
It's a way of wishing someone well without being specific.
It's similar to farewell, bye, adios, au revoir, and ciao.
Take care.
