Songs of the Summer, Day Four: Brat

We pick the last of our Final Four from the Brat Regional, the quadrant dedicated to the runaway trend of the past few months: bright green, self-confident, totally unbothered. Charli XCX started it, but it doesn’t have to be pop music — it’s a state of mind more than a sound. Alex Robert Ross is joined by Brat experts Sandra Song, Hannah Sung, and Vivian Medithi to look at what the brat aesthetic meant this summer and how music responded. Then there are tracks from Sexyy Red, Rada, skaiwater, and Charli. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
