If you've noticed 'Brat Summer' trending on your timeline, you're not alone. The phenomenon stems from Charli XCX's album 'Brat', announced on February 28th, which features a controversial cover with simple text and a green background. Critics were quick to bash the cover art online, prompting Charli XCX to defend it, calling out the misogynistic demand for women's faces and bodies in album artwork. Despite the backlash, 'Brat' has received critical acclaim, with fans and celebrities praising the music. Over a month after its release, 'Brat' remains a hit, becoming the soundtrack of the summer. The track "Apple" has emerged as the anthem of 'Brat Summer', thanks to a viral TikTok dance, so embrace the trend and let your inner brat shine.
