(Euphoria was the best song in the Drake diss saga and it's not even close, but Not Like Us is the one dems played to death)
Just cause the libs taint trends in music and pop culture like this doesn't mean it's bad. That said, I liked the first song on Brat, but the rest of the album wasn't my thing.
it's a very good pop album by charli xcx, who has been making good pop albums for years but brat is the first to achieve mainstream success. her music is more risk-taking and experimental than other more well-known pop stars, and up until recently she has had a largely young queer fanbase.
the memes are mostly about the album cover, which is just the word "brat" in low resolution stretched arial font in front of a bright lime green background, like something you could make in ms paint in 30 seconds. charli changed all of her past album covers to a similar design on streaming services, replacing the original covers which tended to feature sexually charged images of her. thus the memes were born, with people putting other words/phrases into this image format
Oh, it's a song. I see. I thought it was just a random slang term people adopted, but of course it is yet another carefully cultivated bit of "culture" pushed by suits to sell something.
I also want to say I love music, so many genres and the skill involved even in the music I don't like. I'm sure Charli xcx put a ton of skill and passion into brat and that's great and I fully recognize that but I still won't
Every day I feel further and further out of touch with whatever the fuck is going on online. I had to look it up to even see wtf it is and I still don’t get it.
Yeah the kopmala tweet screenshot (which I assume is real because it gets a lot of play online) means I'm not interested. I've heard Sophie in Beat Saber, at least it's not anime music, so I imagine it's in that vein.
It's fine. I think if you want pop music, Miley Cyrus's most recent record is more interesting. And if you want fucked up pop music, 100 gecs is more interesting. But it's fine.
The only brat I'm interested in is the cheapest ones at the store
I haven't listened to the album yet but I tend to listen to these things like six months after nobody's talking about them anymore and I think about it and go "oh yeah I should see what all the hype was about"
