Goaty Posted July 22 Posted July 22 I mean no shade when I say this, as it most certainly applies to me as well — but in the way you're describing, it's really only culturally relevant to gay and/or chronically online people 1 1

It really is that simple. I don't think it's ever that simple lmao Plenty of great bodies of work never reach this level of saturation 3

The cover and the font are way too iconic now
alfonso12 Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Cause it's the album of the year. 5 minutes ago, Bosque said: Because you live in a bubble of gay people It's impact has literally reached the twitter account of Kamala's campaign. Not to mention multiple international brands have done the same in the past weeks. 5 5

Girl, so confusing well...duh. "any of the GP" would barely name any album. I am not saying it is the biggest album to ever exist. My point is BRAT & Brat Summer have absolutely branched out of the chronically online gays circles and usual stan twitter bubble that checks for Charli. Several songs are viral and used by locals. 360 is a proper hit and the memes are everywhere. The Apple TikTok trend is big and still growing. The lime green/black font combo is becoming immediately recognizable and so many brands are jumping on it and doing "brat themed ____".

Like okay if it was Pop 2 or CRASH then I'd agree you with, but not this. Edited July 22 by State of Grace. 14
collin Posted July 22 Posted July 22 The album has definitely had an impact and is a cultural moment right now Most definitely one of the bigger music phenomenons this year. To deny that is something else, it's a commercial, critical and viral success. 11
2NE1 Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Because of the Taylor debacle and the memes but it's not really culturally relevant
Dialamba Posted July 22 Posted July 22 The way people think here selling albums = cultural impact. Brat is one of the biggest events of the year and I didn't listen the album lol it goes beyond stan twitter. 1

Jay07 Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Because Charli has been consistently working on her craft for a decade, always turning out forward thinking, catchy tunes AND they got it right with the promotion and branding this time. It feels like the apex of what she's been doing for years and it has definitely spilled out of stan twitter/chronically online gay circles. Fans of terminally uncool, corny artists being perpetually pressed over others' success is a bonus. 5 1
Distantconstellation Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Maybe on gay twitter, atrl, and in your head. But gp has no idea what that even is. 1 2

Popular Post Vegvisir Posted July 22 Popular Post Posted July 22 Of COURSE the usual swiftie avatars are popping in to discredit relevancy of other artists. Believe me when I say brat has made 10x the cultural impact the tortured narcissist's department has this year 12 2 2 1
Rotunda Posted July 22 Posted July 22 (edited) Brat isn't like an Adele or Taylor album by any means but it's also clearly penetrating beyond stan twitter and her core fan base. I think it's taking off because it has a clear POV both aesthetically and musically. You kinda instantly get what "brat" is even if you've only engaged with the content through memes or snippets. I think Chappell's album is the same. Edited July 22 by Rotunda 5 1
