Brat<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Charli told the BBC’s Sidetracked podcast that brat is a concept that represents a person who might have “a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra”.<\/p>\n

It has been deemed by some pop critics as a rejection of the “clean girl” aesthetic popularised on TikTok, which spurned a groomed ideal of femininity, and instead embraces more hedonistic and rebellious attitudes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things some times,\u201d Charli explained on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it\u2019s brat. You\u2019re brat. That\u2019s brat.\u201d [BBC<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Noted in “MAGA media panics over Trump\u2019s increasingly insane campaign<\/a><\/em>,” TheCriticalMind, Daily Kos<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

Then President Biden bowed out and handed the baton to his VP, Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

The MAGA media was disappointed, but unperturbed. They believed the Democrats would turn the search for Biden\u2019s successor into a circular firing squad. And should Harris prevail, she would be fatally wounded by the process. Besides, she had dropped out of the 2020 campaign without winning a single delegate. They reassured themselves that she was a lightweight campaigner soon to be nicknamed into oblivion.<\/p>\n

But Kamala proved to be\u00a0brat<\/u><\/a>. Her campaign caught fire. Her selection of Tim Walz as running mate\u00a0paid off in spades. Her run became a supernova of buzz, excitement, and energy. Thousands volunteered. Millions poured\u00a0in. Double-haters\u00a0became single-haters, and\u00a0cast their lot with Harris. And suddenly Trump was the old man in the race. His act was shopworn, trite, and tired.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
