A cultural phenomenon inspired by the music of Charli XCX, connotative of a laissez-faire attitude and hedonistic lifestyle What did this year’s race for the most powerful office on earth have in common with a sweaty rave off the UK’s M25 motorway? In 2024 — and perhaps only in 2024 — the two were closely intertwined, indelibly marked by brat.
In the year of a vibes-based US election, it offered an unexpected glimmer of hope to blue America: Charli’s resounding endorsement of Kamala Harris with the tweet “kamala IS brat” briefly reinvigorated a struggling Democrat campaign. Harris HQ’s wholehearted embrace of the album’s lurid green cover and aggressive hyperpop, spliced with memeable one-liners in 10-second TikToks, promised to be a Gen-Z rallying cry.
