As the summer in the USA heats up, hyperpop singer Charli XCX released her album “Brat,” which has rapidly hit the internet. While her singles are getting everyone on their feet, it’s the album cover that’s sparked the most debate. Some argue it lacks creativity compared to other covers released this year, but it captures the essence of Gen Z perfectly. This controversy has even led to viral political memes. Koktail gives you insight into the “Brat Summer” trend and revisits everyone’s bratty moments.<\/p>\n

What’s turning this summer neon is Charli XCX’s sixth studio album, “Brat.” Drawing influence from the aggressive club rave tunes of the 2000s and featuring bold lyrics, the album, released in June 2024, consists of 15 tracks designed to pull everyone onto the dance floor. But it’s not just her songs that have redefined Gen Z’s summer. The album’s cover art and aesthetic have become a major internet trend, standing out from the previously clean aesthetic.<\/p>\n

The Viral Lime Green Square Cover<\/h1>\n

Perhaps it’s time to shout out your name loud, just like her cover art. The cover features a lime green square with the title in lowercase sans-serif font, evoking a 2000s vibe, which some might see as outdated, but not Generation of Z. The off-trend and provocative use of lime neon green challenges pop culture expectations, provoking thoughts about why certain things are considered good or bad.<\/span><\/p>\n
