It's hard to explain... yes, it was huge, but you'd have to be online a lot to really notice the level of promotion it received. And who is online? Everyone young. This album was relevant, atrl believing otherwise is just another proof of yall being out of touch 3
commander Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Yes. The nostalgia for 2024 will be all about brat when all is said and done. 1 1
loveisdead9582 Posted October 12 Posted October 12 For the chronically online? Sure. It doesn't have very much real world impact if you aren't in the music industry

artc0cx Posted October 12 Posted October 12 No one cares about it outside chronically online people 2 1

Pretty much everyone is online now and what's online is what's the most relevant; a better case would be to say that it isn't popular outside of girls and gays, which is kinda true but also applies to just about every female pop star 1
sasashite Posted October 12 Posted October 12 No iconic performances No iconic music videos No hits Just memes 1 1
Life Savers Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Honestly at some point I think the aesthetics and memes kind of outshone the music, which is supposed be the important thing in the first place. She has done things very well and been very smart about the popularity, though.
DiabeticGrandpa Posted October 12 Posted October 12 The album is not popular and is not doing great numbers so no.

There can still be widely popular music eras that don't just stay confined to internet niches, take Olivia's SOUR or Adele's pre-30 hype with Easy On Me. That kind of popularity gets talked about even by people outside the usual online spaces. Hadn't it been for Twitter or TikTok, Charli XCX would still be mentioned as much as she was before 2024.
PerfectCure Posted October 12 Posted October 12 And honestly why not mention numbers lol? This is a music project after all. I'm looking at her Spotify page and noticing her most streamed song currently is Guess (with Billie Eilish) having 255 million streams. Apple (a TikTok viral hit with its own dance) is barely pushing 200 million. This is a decent performance at best.

People love to say that "it's just a twitter thing" or "it never left the internet" when it's not true. As someone above me said, ask Obama. Everything just went right this era, the music was good, people connected with it instantly. Charli also helped keep it interesting, the boiler room sets caught a lot of people's attention and made people want more. Idk if im putting it into the right words, but it feels like the first organic hit era in a long time. Also feels refreshing in an era where artists really only make an era last a week or two, or do sporadic things over 6 months but disappear otherwise for an artist to properly promote the album. Right. Even some of my straight friends who never listens to "gay" music notice the existence of BRAT and ask about my green pfp, asking if it's related to BRAT, and saying how they like Von Dutch, 360, Guess, and ofc Apple.

Blue Jeans Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Yes, as a cult classic with a massive impact on the mainstream pop scene to come.
BrattyBottom Posted October 12 Posted October 12 For those of us that find ourselves online often I think it feels very impactful.
folkhoe Posted October 13 Posted October 13 (edited) There is a brat era? The only era known to the public this year is Short n sweet era Edited October 13 by folkhoe

I mean that's Charli's fanbase (myself included): terminally online people Most non-internet people have no idea that 'brat' relates to an album
