why the fuck have they all glommed onto 'brat' so hard? It's unlike anything I've seen before.

why the fuck have they all glommed onto 'brat' so hard?

Because the artist that made "Brat" said that "Kamala Harris is brat" and endorsed her. It's coming from inside the house... If Charli XCX didn't want her music associated with this nonsense, she should've avoided endorsing the next head of the empire.

But I'm with you this sucks

they were posting star wars and harry potter back then

[-] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Love the imperial machine coopting Star Wars. They totally understood the media and are doing what Lucas would want with it.

I believe its because its a word that they're familiar with and the intent can be guessed. It's pretty much how an old envisions youth language, take a word that is used to chastise and self-identify with it because breaking rules is cool.

Compared with "rizz" for example it's much more accesible.

the first song of hers that I heard and feels crazy to think we're now at nato-cool referencing her

Charlie you fucked up

Charli's last moments of fame tbh. The 2010s are nearly entirely in the rearview and that includes culturally, she too will be forgotten for this decade's british pop singer.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Possibly, but then again, whatever her next album is it'll get millions of listens. By sheer number of fans it'll be culturally relevant. And in all fairness 'brat' wasn't utterly bog-standard pop like most of the other shit these days.

She's found a way in with the new generation of 'it' girls. I think it could see her through a long time.

[-] dukedevin@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

this is the most relevant she's been ever, and I say that has someone who's been a passive enjoyer of her music since I got her first album in a /mu/ share thread

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

Brat had become relatively common language in the erotica genre, so saying it out loud was spicy. Also all politics are sexual pathology, etc.
