I'm not going to either. You can't make me. I can't even imagine what it sounds like and I won't try.

Maybe this will change your mind:

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Weezer, but good.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Now I will listen to brat but only the Beanis remix

[-] LigOleTiberal@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

It's good but "How I'm Feeling Now" is better if you want to check out Charli's best works

But have you heard Not Like Us?

(Euphoria was the best song in the Drake diss saga and it's not even close, but Not Like Us is the one dems played to death)

Just cause the libs taint trends in music and pop culture like this doesn't mean it's bad. That said, I liked the first song on Brat, but the rest of the album wasn't my thing.

tbf the artist also tainted it with that association.

[-] wild_dog@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

still doesn't make it bad. if you're gonna say all liberal music is bad, then you're gonna have a hard time finding music to listen to.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

I'm not talking about the work itself, I mean that psychologically the association was pushed by the artist, who is popularly regarded as the main authority on a piece, saying that "candidate embodies the spirit of my album". I'm speaking on the level of rhetoric here.

That said, it's extremely easy to find music from people who don't fellate reactionaries like that, even if they're still liberals or whatever.

i honestly think a lot of the backlash against Brat is rooted in sexism tbh (not accusing OP or you of that, i get we're shitposting here)

[-] Vingst@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

brat's got some bangers, so does Brat and it's completely different but also still brat

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

No idea what is that. Is that the meme were theres a mountain dew green background and some text saying "brat"?

[-] AmericaDeserved711@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

brat EXPLAINED IN 30 SECONDS

it's a very good pop album by charli xcx, who has been making good pop albums for years but brat is the first to achieve mainstream success. her music is more risk-taking and experimental than other more well-known pop stars, and up until recently she has had a largely young queer fanbase.

the memes are mostly about the album cover, which is just the word "brat" in low resolution stretched arial font in front of a bright lime green background, like something you could make in ms paint in 30 seconds. charli changed all of her past album covers to a similar design on streaming services, replacing the original covers which tended to feature sexually charged images of her. thus the memes were born, with people putting other words/phrases into this image format

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I think so but I don't know

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

brat did nothing wrong

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

is this like a reverse 'sportsball' post?

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Basically yes

[-] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Me neither and I intend never to heart-sickle

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Where did it even come from?

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I don't even know if it's a song or an album or both I just know it's music and I'm not gonna hear it

[-] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

This thread made me feel like I have my finger on the pulse of youth culture, thank you

[-] miz@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

haven't heard it but Kamala's association with it means that if I ever do listen to it, it will sound like Palestinian children screaming

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

hot damn, everyone other than me is a geezer wtf

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I think we had a struggle session about Radiohead once, so that checks out.

Oh, it's a song. I see. I thought it was just a random slang term people adopted, but of course it is yet another carefully cultivated bit of "culture" pushed by suits to sell something.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Most pop music actually is good despite people being silly about it.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I also want to say I love music, so many genres and the skill involved even in the music I don't like. I'm sure Charli xcx put a ton of skill and passion into brat and that's great and I fully recognize that but I still won't

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

typing "brat" into the emoji picker gives biblically-accurate-kitty

[-] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Every day I feel further and further out of touch with whatever the fuck is going on online. I had to look it up to even see wtf it is and I still don’t get it.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

I won't even do that I'm just not gonna

[-] wild_dog@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

rhymes with barf

[-] Cherufe@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Not as good as How Im Feeling Now, but still better than most music coming out this year

[-] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah the kopmala tweet screenshot (which I assume is real because it gets a lot of play online) means I'm not interested. I've heard Sophie in Beat Saber, at least it's not anime music, so I imagine it's in that vein.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I will listen to anime music I will not listen to brat

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Neither have I. I’ve only seen it on here lol

[-] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

All her albums rock, Ive been a big fan since 2015. Signed by, me a straight dude

[-] macabrett@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

It's fine. I think if you want pop music, Miley Cyrus's most recent record is more interesting. And if you want fucked up pop music, 100 gecs is more interesting. But it's fine.

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I thought Billie Eilish was some late ‘70s/early ‘80s rock type (a’la Bruce Springsteen or something) until like three days ago
