brat summer 2025

It means the brat vibe, but updated for 2025, like trying to stay messy, confident, and a little chaotic on purpose. It comes from Charli XCX’s brat era, where the look and attitude were basically lime green, loud energy, and acting like you just skipped the group project and still somehow won. It’s like the cooler, meaner cousin of hot girl summer, the one who showed up late with an iPod and still got the aux.
