Kamala Harris Can’t Be “Brat” Because “Brat” Is Dead

You don't need to understand the BRAT meme and how it relates to Kamala Harris. But, just in case, we explain “brat summer,” the coconut, and Kamala.

A fun meme has devolved into cringe, so you don’t really need to know about it. But, just in case, we explain “brat summer,” the coconut, and Kamala.

On July 21, soon after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, British pop icon Charli XCX broke the internet—and middle-aged political pundits’ brains—by declaring Vice President Kamala Harris “is brat.”

It wasn’t out of the blue; for weeks, scores of chronically online posters flooded social media feeds with edits of Harris set to the songs from Charli XCX’s newest album, Brat.

Harris, who has emerged as the likely Democratic nominee for US president, capitalized on the viral firestorm. Within hours of Charli’s blessing, the new KamalaHQ account on X changed its banner image to the iconic green of Charli’s album cover and posted its own Brat edit, which has amassed over 1.5 million views. This has led many confused, exhausted people over the age of 35 (or so) to ask: What is Brat? Why is this happening? And please will someone help me I was just trying to pay attention to the election and now I feel old?
