00:00It's Brat Summer. Not a brat getting cooked on the grill, German-Midwestern style. We're talking
00:04Charli XCX's new album, Brat Girl Summer. When this album came out in June of 2024,
00:09it shocked the music world. Anthony Fantana gave it the heralded 10 out of 10. The world is living
00:14a Brat Summer. Heck, I listen to this thing every time I shower. I love this album, and now it's
00:18made its way into the meme world. Girls used to say Hot Girl Summer, but not anymore. On June 1st,
00:232024, Charli posted this Instagram picture with the great caption, Brat Summer, get ready. Of
00:28course, this garnered tons of likes, as Charli is always absolutely slang, but then we get a BBC
00:32Sounds interview as well, where the interviewer asks Charli directly about Brat Summer, specifically
00:37the post. She gives the essentials for an ideal perfect Brat Summer, she says, quite luxury,
00:42but also trashy, like a pack of cigs and a Bic lighter, and like a strappy white top with no
00:46bra. That is peak. So the memes ushered out Brat Summer Instagram posts with Brat cover parodies,
00:52Brat Summer except I'm staying inside and asleep by nine, and of course the Brat Summer starter
00:56pack, which looks like an Xbox 360 launch party fit.
