i have a feeling we’re gonna keep saying “it’s [xyz] summer!” every summer in an attempt to replicate the high — the momentous cultural revelry — of barbie summer but it’s never going to be quite the same

#this is not a dis at the attempts btw like brat summer girlies are having so much fun rn and it’s marvelous to watch #but yeah i feel like it’s gonna be a pattern #like i’ve been calling it ‘chappell roan summer’ even tho i’m not going to any actual concerts so it’s hard to feel like it’s the same #also like i had mixed feelings about the barbie mania at the time #like it def felt like it was accidentally reinforcing gender roles and the hype was the result of a very effective ad campaign #so like ugh capitalism #but like it was FUN why was it so fun???#idk i think it’s the effect of themed parties and good movies being back and having something to be communally excited about #ESPECIALLY AFTER COVID OH MY GOD #like it was just like a ‘oh everything is ok’ feeling #anyway yea #relistening to ‘im just ken’ and getting nostalgic over here #the barbie movie #barbie summer #charli xcx #barbie #rambling
