In a world where Taylor Swift and Beyoncé fans fantasize about endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, British pop singer Charli XCX is already setting the stage for a party.
With a simple “kamala IS brat” post on X, Charli XCX has introduced us to the concept of being a “brat.” But what exactly does that mean? Welcome to “Bratology 101.”
According to Charli XCX, a “brat” is someone who is a little messy, likes to party, and isn’t afraid to be honest and blunt. It’s the antithesis to the clean and highly groomed image often seen on social media. In fact, the internet has even declared a specific shade of chartreuse as the color of the summer, inspired by Charli XCX’s album.
Harris’ camp seems to have embraced the “brat” concept, with the official Kamala HQ account sporting the “brat” green color and font similar to Charli XCX’s album.
As Harris gears up for the Democratic nomination, younger voters, like Gen Z, could play a crucial role in the 2024 election. Activist David Hogg believes that Charli XCX’s post could have a significant impact on the youth vote.
Gen Z, known for their social media savviness and ability to organize for change, has already shown support for Harris through meme photos and videos. Even the coconut memes inspired by Harris’s remarks have resurfaced as a symbol of support.
While some critics argue that the coconut memes could be perceived as racist, the Harris campaign is embracing them with a message on the Harris HQ X account: “Providing context.”
Whether you’re a Swiftie, a Bey Hive member, or a Charli XCX fan, the 2024 election is shaping up to be an exciting one. Stay tuned for more updates on CNN.com.
