In the world of upside-down pop culture lingo where hot means cool and bad means good, there is a new entry: brat.
Brat doesn't mean a spoiled, misbehaving child in the world of TikTok, no sir. Brat can be a noun or adjective and it's always a compliment: carefree, bold, and messy.
And it's the word that launched the latest album from English singer Charli XCX, whose lime green one-word title has been downloaded 400 million times on Spotify. Even the album cover's color has gone viral, with fans speculating about the color code and its possible hidden meanings.
