song of the night!!
#I saw a really interesting twitter thread the other day (well. it was like 3 tweets) talking about how brat elevated charli out of pop's#''middle class'' and thereby sort of... unrecognizably twisted the meaning/impact of brat#I think their words were ''if everything is brat then nothing is brat''#which I thought was such a good encapsulation of how memery elevated brat out of charli's relatively niche position in pop culture and#then consumed the culture itself#(TO BE CLEAR this would not have worked if brat wasn't such a fantastic album. but it is!!!)#and this song in particular — which was originally about being jealous of a more successful artist — is now about the struggles of success#idk it was really interesting and I'm deeply curious to see where charli's career goes next#as someone who previously only really knew her big hits and was unaware of the niche nyc it girl vibe of her and her ilk#like to WHOM is “I'm so julia” a meaningful sentence outside of a very niche subculture!!!! it's INTERESTING#it was cool to read someone's take on it who was more familiar with charli and her niche and such#it's such a fun album#and I'm working through the remixes now!!
