I’m not going to either. You can’t make me. I can’t even imagine what it sounds like and I won’t try.

    It’s good but “How I’m Feeling Now” is better if you want to check out Charli’s best works

    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.

      brat EXPLAINED IN 30 SECONDS

      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

      I’m just being silly that’s how I do. I’ll probably hear brat sometime somehow but honestly there’s just way too much music to keep track of

    But have you heard Not Like Us?

    (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.

      i honestly think a lot of the backlash against Brat is rooted in sexism tbh (not accusing OP or you of that, i get we’re shitposting here)

      tbf the artist also tainted it with that association.

        still doesn’t make it bad. if you’re gonna say all liberal music is bad, then you’re gonna have a hard time finding music to listen to.

          I’m not talking about the work itself, I mean that psychologically the association was pushed by the artist, who is popularly regarded as the main authority on a piece, saying that “candidate embodies the spirit of my album”. I’m speaking on the level of rhetoric here.

          That said, it’s extremely easy to find music from people who don’t fellate reactionaries like that, even if they’re still liberals or whatever.

            I disagree bc as a longtime Charli fan I see it more like she made a shit post and then the desperate Democrats went way too far with it. It’s not like she’s posting like Stephen King about how great the Democrats are all the time. She made one post and then went back to doing coke with her DJ fiancee.

            Making one post on Twitter is not “fellating reactionaries” and it’s extremely misogynistic to frame it this way
