I<\/span>t\u2019s 2019 and Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s viral<\/a> phrase \u2018Hot Girl Summer\u2019 has become something much bigger than the name of a single. Instagram captions are rife with the three words, a refreshing care-free attitude has been adopted by all and last-minute flights to tropical destinations are justified with a smile and shrug: \u2018It\u2019s Hot Girl Summer!’ (blissful times really \u2013 we had no idea what was around the corner). Fast forward to 2023 \u2013 Stallion has rightfully trademarked<\/a> \u2018Hot Girl Summer\u2019 and Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u2018RENAISSANCE\u2019 has fans filling their wardrobes with metallic silver and running to the dance floor in cowboy boots (the Google search for \u2018silver cowboy boots\u2019 rose 300% worldwide<\/a> after the album release). It\u2019s reminiscent of 2014 when Taylor Swift\u2019s 1989 spurred us towards side-partings, denim and mini-skirts alike \u2013 every year has its own pop culture It Girl whose style becomes a call to arms. In 2024, we set aside our disco balls and ceased our voguing \u2013 now the name on everyone’s lips is Charli XCX.<\/p>\n

In its most basic form, ‘Brat’ is an LP of 15 songs, alongside a deluxe edition, entitled ‘Brat and it’s the same but there\u2019s three more songs so it’s not’. It\u2019s a thumping, heady body of work full of dance bangers, unabashed sexuality, hypnotic lyrics and self-proclaimed narcissism. But, much like Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u2018RENAISSANCE\u2019, or Megan Thee Stallion’s summertime refrain, \u2018Brat\u2019 has become much more than just the music.<\/p>\n

The term has taken on a life of its own becoming part of the cultural vocabulary as the internet hailed the summer of 2024 as \u2018brat summer.\u2019 Proudly connoting a messy, \u2018party girl\u2019 attitude and capturing the hedonism and nihilism of the zeitgeist, \u2018brat\u2019 has evolved into a philosophy, an ethos – a movement. As XCX has explained herself<\/a> when describing \u2018brat summer\u2019, \u2018You\u2019re just like that girl […] who feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like, parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile.\u2019 Put plainly, and as XCX herself agrees<\/a>, being a mixed-race female US presidential nominee<\/a> and calling Donald Trump \u2018weird\u2019<\/a> is exceptionally \u2018brat.\u2019<\/p>\n

Concerned with embracing the untamed, grotty, angry parts of yourself which Marjorie from the office would clutch her pearls at, \u2018brat\u2019 is all about sweaty, dark clubs with sticky floors. It deems Marlboro Reds the most desirable accessory for your black leather outfit and demands the music is loud enough the speakers shake.\u00a0 However, \u2018brat\u2019 is not simply about bad tattoos, cocaine and sunglasses – it is laced with existential dread, crippled by nostalgia and unable to see past the grotesque of the modern day.<\/p>\n

Although German banks<\/a> and Boris Johnson<\/a> alike have been slowly killing the trend of \u2018brat summer\u2019 by waving the lime green flag like they\u2019re in on the joke (they\u2019re not), and XCX herself declared<\/a> the end of \u2018brat summer\u2019, rest assured the spirit of \u2018brat\u2019 is alive and well.\u00a0 When it comes to cinema, the ethos of XCX\u2019s album has been around since the beginning of film, and although the summer of \u2018brat\u2019 may be coming to an end as the leaves turn orange, the essence of the trend is certainly sticking around across our cinema screens.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Charli XCX is something of a cinephile herself, having created the documentary Alone Together,<\/a> which chronicles her attempt to create an album in 40 days during the first lockdown of 2020, curated a season<\/a> this summer at New York’s favourite cult hot spot the Roxy Cinema and contributing the electric \u2018Speed Drive\u2019 to the hot-pink soundtrack of last<\/i> summer: Barbie The Album. She’s also co-written her first film<\/a>, with Jeremy O. Harris, and will make her acting debut<\/a> next year in in Daniel Goldhaber\u2019s Faces of Death remake. Between all this and her avowed love of David Cronenberg<\/a>, it’s no great leap to think of the films that embody the same reckless spirit of XCX’s certified-platinum sixth album.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Wild, sweaty, impulsive flicks have been around since the early days of filmmaking (Bride of Frankenstein is arguably very \u2018brat\u2019), with directors Yorgos Lanthimos and Ti West picking up the lime green baton in their respective features Poor Things<\/a> and Pearl<\/a>. \u2018Brat Cinema\u2019 detests any sort of glossy Hollywood treatment. These films are sighs of relief for those who have genuinely considered torching the car of someone who has wronged them \u2013 a rebellion against normative femininity, full of Freudian Id and eyeliner and ask: why be a polite and kind young lady when you can scream and commit crimes?<\/p>\n

The wildly fun, off-beat Heathers<\/a> from 1988 starring Winona Ryder is wonderfully \u2018brat\u2019 in its overtly narcissistic characters and relentless violence in the name of quote-unquote feminism. V\u011bra Chytilov\u00e1’s 1966 film Daisies<\/a>, which sees two ravenous teenage girls embark on a lethal plot in an attempt to simultaneously consume and destroy the materialistic world around them, is also spectacularly \u2018brat\u2019 in its gleeful anarchy and lack of self-consciousness.<\/p>\n

Moving into the noughties, Jennifer\u2019s Body, Spring Breakers<\/a>, St Trinian’s and The Bling Ring<\/a> spring to mind as key examples from within the Brat Cinematic Universe. Equal parts lipgloss and bloodstains, these fan favourites ask what would happen if \u2018it girls\u2019 used their beauty and influence for worse, the results often being delightfully gory or similarly criminal in scope.<\/p>\n

The feeling of \u2018brat\u2019 is ever-present in contemporary cinema too, as sexually-charged and cynical characters continue to run wild across our screens. Think of the eye-rolling, bratty protagonists of Halina Reijn\u2019s horror-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies<\/a> (to which Charli XCX contributed a song), the chaos and anxiety which radiates from every scene of Bottoms<\/a> and the 2020 release Shiva Baby<\/a> which explodes with hot-headed recklessness (you may notice a common thread here in Rachel Sennott, who featured in the 365<\/a> music video).<\/p>\n

Let me put it this way: if a film celebrates anarchy and absurdity, if it explores the sides of ourselves deemed \u2018unladylike\u2019 with rage and delight, and\/or if it stars a bored teenage girl desperate for independence and a good time \u2013 well, chances are you\u2019ve come face-to-face with \u2018brat cinema\u2019.<\/p>\n

These films ultimately not only offer something engaging and daring, but importantly resonate with queer communities much as Charli herself has been dubbed<\/a> a \u2018queer icon\u2019. The shiny, heteronormative world of Hollywood hasn\u2019t historically always resonated with marginalised communities, yet the outsider characters and lack of regard for tradition within \u2018brat cinema\u2019 have often provided queer communities with the opportunity to see something<\/a> more akin to their own lived experiences on-screen, so whilst the term \u2013 and the film\u2019s under its umbrella \u2013 perhaps don\u2019t always receive a great level of prestige or appreciation, to a vast community of people, they are immeasurably important.<\/p>\n

The most important aspect of \u2018brat cinema\u2019 however \u2013 cool slo-mos and gory body horror aside \u2013 is the fact the term can only be applied in retrospect. If media companies start consciously producing films with lime green in mind (and it would be no surprise to anyone if they did given the corporate impulse to commodify anything \u2018the youth\u2019 enjoy) \u2018brat\u2019 loses its authenticity, it becomes corporate jargon thrown around in boardrooms \u2013 and there is nothing less \u2018brat\u2019 than capitalist conglomerates.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s similar to the way one cannot sit down with the intention to write a cult classic \u2013 they spring from subcultures and a secret language of references between movie-goers. It is the audience \u2013 not the big-wigs \u2013 who bring a film to that status and it is the audience, adorned in their black leather and white vests, who made \u2018brat\u2019 the phenomenon it has become. The ethos of XCX\u2019s album runs like a sharp electric current through the history of cinema, unleashing fun, daring sides to characters and never shaming them for their (many) wrongdoings. Amidst the glamour and frivolity of Hollywood, films which uphold the brat philosophy advocate for the trashy, the imperfect, the joyous and resonate with marginalised people across the globe. But what does the future look like for the trend?<\/p>\n

If the influence of \u2018brat\u2019 continues in the autumn despite XCX\u2019s declaration<\/a> \u2013 which considering the half-life of so many of these trends would be astronomically impressive \u2013 the term could easily become part of the critical lexicon as a shorthand for describing films which uphold its philosophy. While the prominence of \u2018brat summer\u2019 will surely dwindle as the evenings grow darker and colder, regardless of whatever will next capture our cultural imagination (Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s new album is already causing commotion across the metaverse) \u2018brat cinema\u2019, cigarette in hand and lips pursed, is here to stay. It’s not just a colour \u2013 it’s a way of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
