If someone calls Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris a brat, it might not be an insult.
As endorsements of the vice president in the 2024 presidential race flooded in on Sunday, she also received high praise from pop star Charli XCX.
kamala IS brat, the British singer and songwriter said in a post to X that quickly went viral.
*snip*
The musician told the BBC a "brat" is someone genuine and self-possessed, with a rebellious streak. She feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of, like, parties through it. Is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But its brat. Youre brat. Thats brat.

to older people.
Every generation looks at the next one coming up and thinks...."what's wrong with these kids?" and the answer is: nothing really, they're just finding their own way.
Heck, my 15 year old Gen Z kid is looking at the Alphas a couple of grades behind him and says "What's wrong with them?".
I tell him nothing, they're just finding their own way.
