Historically, <em>brat</em> carried negative connotations, describing children who were unruly or spoiled. However, as societal views on self-expression and nonconformity shifted, the term began to acquire a more positive spin, especially within music and fashion circles.</p> <p>Charli XCX, known for her avant-garde style and boundary-pushing music, has been instrumental in redefining <em>brat</em>. Her persona embodies the essence of the modern <em>brat </em>— bold, rebellious, and unapologetically herself. Through her music, social media presence, and public appearances, Charli XCX has popularized the term, associating it with a confident, free-spirited attitude.</p> <p>The spread of this new meaning can be seen across various platforms, from social media to music lyrics and interviews. Fans and followers of Charli XCX, as well as other artists and influencers who embrace similar attitudes, have adopted the term, using it to describe themselves and others who exhibit these traits. The term started to receive more widespread attention and increased usage after Charli XCX tweeted “kamala IS brat” following Joe Biden’s endorsement of Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election.</p> <p> </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="tl">kamala IS brat</p> <p>— Charli (@charli_xcx) <a href="https://twitter.com/charli_xcx/status/1815182384066707861?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 22, 2024</a></p></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ad ad-atw-origin-mobile atw-mobile-ad" id="ad-wrapper-atw-origin-mobile"> </div> <script> var adWrappers = document.getElementsByClassName('ad-atw-origin-mobile'); var getAdWrapper = () => { if (adWrappers.length === 1) { return adWrappers[0]; } else { for (adWrapper of adWrappers) { var childNodes = adWrapper.children; if (childNodes.length === 0) { var grandParentNode = adWrapper.parentNode.parentNode; var isVisibleNode = !(grandParentNode.style.display === 'none') if (isVisibleNode) { return adWrapper; } } } } } var adWrapper = getAdWrapper() if (adWrapper) { var adUnit = document.createElement('div'); if (isSovrn) { adUnit.classList.add('dictionary_right_rail_300x250_flex_2'); adUnit.setAttribute('data-text', 'Sovrn Advertisement'); adWrapper.appendChild(adUnit); var hasWindow = typeof window !== 'undefined'; var hasProperBuildSlots = hasWindow && typeof window.properBuildSlots !== 'undefined'; if (hasProperBuildSlots) { window.properBuildSlots(); }; } else { adUnit.id = 'crb-ad-slot-atw-origin-mobile' adUnit.setAttribute('data-text', 'GPT Advertisement'); var adContainer = document.createElement('div'); adContainer.classList.add("ad__container"); if ("") { adContainer.classList.add(""); } adContainer.id = "crb-ad-container-atw-origin-mobile"; adContainer.setAttribute('data-text', 'GPT Advertisement'); var adContainerInner = document.createElement('div'); adContainerInner.classList.add('ad__container-inner'); adContainerInner.id = "crb-ad-container-inner-atw-origin-mobile"; adContainerInner.setAttribute('data-text', 'GPT Advertisement'); adWrapper.appendChild(adUnit); adContainerInner.appendChild(adUnit); adContainer.appendChild(adContainerInner); adWrapper.appendChild(adContainer); } } </script> <div class="article-word__row" id="examples"> <div class="article-word__examples"> <h2 class="article-word__row-title"> Examples of brat </h2> <div class="article-word__examples-list"> <div class="examples__item"> <div class="examples__item__wrapper"> <div class="examples__item__content text" style="border: 2px solid #92d6ff;"> <span>I love how he embraced his inner brat with that outfit — totally fearless and fun!</span> </div> <div class="examples__item__description"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="examples__item"> <div class="examples__item__wrapper"> <div class="examples__item__content text" style="border: 2px solid #92d6ff;"> <span>Their music video is pure brat energy, full of bold colors and rebellious vibes.</span> </div> <div class="examples__item__description"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="article-word__row" id="usage"> <div class="article-word__usage"> <h2 class="article-word__row-title"> Who uses brat? </h2> <div class="usage__content clear"> <p>The term <em>brat</em> is widely used by fans of Charli XCX and similar artists, as well as by individuals who identify with the rebellious, free-spirited attitude it represents.
