I'm working from home + in the middle of moving + trying to save (so haven't been out at all). i'm having a brat summer by saying "bumpin that don't sleep don't eat who the fuck are you" out loud by myself every five minutes and using my green highlighter more than the yellow one. brat summer is for all.
Green highlighter is such a move. I’m using brat green in spreadsheets. And saying “who tf are you I’m a brat when I’m bumpin’ that” while letting my dog back in the house.
i'm so here for the brat-ification of the workplace color palette. About to start writing every word doc in brat green text with black highlight in \*\~the font\~\*

lol I’ve been walking past a stack of green paper at the office so today I made a sign for my dog/office mate. From the bottom photo you can tell he might say something stupid. He’ll be sniffing that.
I've created multiple title slides for work using the brat generator... for example

as a queer mid-20s woman struggling with going outside due to her ptsd, i go home and take an edible, play fortnite zero build and if i come across the green sports car on the map I have to take it. when i get in i say “brat summer” to myself and then I queue up “mean girls” while driving around the map trying to become my own boss battle with the grenade launcher and listen to the album on loop. kill streaks have never been higher tbh.
1) make sure you're wearing something slutty while you game. It doesn't matter if no one can see
2) make sure all your in-game actions serve cvnt
3) comment "gurrrrl" on the Julia Fox instagram post of your choice. Repeat weekly with some variation of "you ate"/"DIVA"/"serve!" with other brat-coded women.
4) if alive and on good terms, call your mom. I'm sure she'd love to hear from you!
Be a brat to other straight white dudes who are being racist/sexist/homophobic/transmisogynist. I think being a brat means not conforming to the expectations of mainstream society. So tell the bros that you don’t fucking care what they think if they don’t like what you have to say.
Also listen to it at work, if you can! I bet there will be angels coming into the store. It’s like a bird call to fellow brats hehe. Good luck! Have fun. And most importantly, do whatever u want :)
the other day one of my coworkers didn’t like what was on the aux so he pulled out his phone and started playing his own music on it full volume. would’ve been hella brat behaviour, but like, we were playing good music and he was not. k so to be a brat, do what he did, but play charli.
Yeah but a “wife beater” is definitely a specific style. So this is a fun alternative name and almost everyone will know what you mean if you say “wife pleaser”
This guy unironically lives in the virgin subreddit, has complained that he can’t get laid bc he’s conservative and scared of getting “cancelled”, jerks it in Starbucks bathrooms, and thinks he’s a doomsday prepper. Id rather not subject some poor girl to that lmao
This is so cute. Paint ur nails neon green, listen to ur music loud, make ur drinks strong, runway walk whenever possible and stand up to homophobia - transphobia - racism and misogyny
Fellow straight white dude here, having a brat summer to me is just not giving a fuck and doing what you want as long as you're not hurting others! Even if it's just chilling with a cold beer or a zoot while gaming to the sounds of Charli that's a pretty brat summer imo :)
As a suburban mom, you best believe I’m bumpin that everywhere I go at full volume with my kids in the car and my sunglasses on. Baby falls asleep to club classics bc he’s a brat
when you go to the store you bump charli in your headphones and remember you're as brat as anyone else. If you're online gaming tell peeps they are so julia instead of gg. paint your nails just for lols. Change your gamer icon to brat green or something like a brat green apple. Dance around your room to Sophie and AG. brat'ify any customisable game characters.
Look for the local gay grungy indie pop clubs near you, there have been a lot having Charli XCX / brat themed nights. Even if you’re straight you can still be an ally, recently one place near me had a brat night and multiple straight friends reached out to ask me if I was going / they ended up all going too lol
well, you're already kissing the right number of girls...
unfortunately i can't help beyond that, im a lesbian and only have my certification in turning people gay for girls 😔 best i can do is trans your gender
Do something out of your comfort zone for starters! Summer only happens once a year so experiment, get out of heteronormative rules and try new things. You don't have to compromise your introverted nature, play Brat while gaming, encourage other straight guys to also get loose. There's literally a world of possibilities ✨️
Crop top. Sunglasses inside. A convoluted scheme to get your friends and coworkers to listen to brat. Making references in the group chat. Get an ear pierced.
Holy shit dude jerks off in Starbucks and thinks Biden funds Pride month and is mad about that but wants to know how he can be gay because he doesn't have any luck with girls?
Bro needs therapy not a brat summer.
Buy a pack cigarettes and walk down to your most popular local bar around midnight on a Friday night. Smoke mysteriously outside and then go in and order a sugar free vodka redbull. Keep pounding back those vodka red bulls until someone asks you to go to bathroom with them. Then, you can start bumpin that
Also mid 20s and straight - just go to concerts over the summer of artists you like (like charli) even if u go alone and enjoy your days. Stream brat and and keep good energy flowing dude
working at gamestop is high key brat coded but i would recommend making your elden ring character brat green and or just putting on the c*ntiest armor and weapons you can find and then listen to brat while shredding enemies
in the words of WTRGRL, 'dont forget that you can party all alone'
anyone can have a brat summer you should just put on some lipstick alone in your room and learn how to twerk to 365 or somethin...
also get some gay friends if you wanna go freak mode im sure there are plenty of genderfluid lesbians waiting to have you as their token cishet man in the friend group. either way you can have the brattiest summer ever if you just live the vibes
congrats, your post just got linked in [pitchfork's Brat Summer In Memoriam](https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/brat-summer-is-dead-long-live-brat-summer/)
"white guy, mid 20s, I work at a gamestop and don’t really have much of a social life."
I dunno, you just describe a brat summer to me. There are zero rules to what constitutes a brat summer; make of it what you will.
Wear your headphones at work (bonus points if they are huge headphones) and play brat to drown out the bro-country. Sunglasses inside are also a vibe. You could attach a sign to your shirt that says, "Don't talk to me, I'm listening to brat." Or "for immediate assistance, please put your hands and dance, yeah I'm gonna dance all night thats right." If you're lucky, you won't even get fired.
If the music speaks to you, you're a brat and your brat summer is whatever you make of it - as long as you are BUMPIN THAT. Personally, my brat summer is about doing intense therapy and emotional work to get out of a bad depressive rut I'm in. And 365 will be breaking my eardums while I'm doing it.
i’m not super deep in charli’s fanbase, i’ve known of her but never got into her stuff but brat slaps as a straight white dude, just bump that shit and put your friends on, it’s not JUST gay music lmao
Spam bumpin that in the general chat
[удалено]
💀💀💀
holy fuck
Lol
Exactly what I do- bumping that
chat, is this summer brat?
I'm working from home + in the middle of moving + trying to save (so haven't been out at all). i'm having a brat summer by saying "bumpin that don't sleep don't eat who the fuck are you" out loud by myself every five minutes and using my green highlighter more than the yellow one. brat summer is for all.

YESSSSS BRAT SUMMER FOR EVERYONEEEE 🐕 HE'S SO JULIA
OMG I LOVE HIM🥹
I've created multiple title slides for work using the brat generator... for example https://preview.redd.it/62lubwfl3fbd1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51a287dcb9ac21bf0a9a7e9f0e575f529058ca39
me except “push my haih back, look haht when i’m bumpin’ that”
Always pick the cunty female character in multiplayer games
Period
Or bratify your character! I dressed my Animal Crossing character in full brat attire to honor the season.
I did the same. She looks so julia
me picking peach or Rosalina (because my sister always picks peach before I can smh) I’m Mario kart every single time
My daughter picks peach so I pick rose gold peach and I bump her off everytime I pass. And I say bumpin that everytime I do it.
oh no your poor daughter 😂 family is never safe
No free passes. Ice cold 4 lyfe.
periodt 💅🏽
This is what I do
as a queer mid-20s woman struggling with going outside due to her ptsd, i go home and take an edible, play fortnite zero build and if i come across the green sports car on the map I have to take it. when i get in i say “brat summer” to myself and then I queue up “mean girls” while driving around the map trying to become my own boss battle with the grenade launcher and listen to the album on loop. kill streaks have never been higher tbh.

Just followed Julia Fox on IG.
Her book is so good btw (well, kind of terrifying). I recommend the audiobook
Seconding this, Julia’s memoir is so underrated. Terrifying and addictive at the same time
Definitely she nonchalantly mentions countless times she was a victim of pdf files
Wear brat green and wraparound shades. Respond to any comments about it with “bumpin that”. Play the album loud.
Be a brat to other straight white dudes who are being racist/sexist/homophobic/transmisogynist. I think being a brat means not conforming to the expectations of mainstream society. So tell the bros that you don’t fucking care what they think if they don’t like what you have to say. Also listen to it at work, if you can! I bet there will be angels coming into the store.

My coworkers hijack AUX from me and play Trace Adkins to intentionally make me mad
Ok then there you go! First brat summer activity: you gotta figure out how to get control of that aux cord. make them listen!!! 🔫🍏🐉🧃🧪📗🧩☢️🍈🍈❎❎❎
Well the good news is one of my coworkers is a Charli xcx fan. But she never plays Charli on aux. She seems to join in on the joke of playing country
tell her she is ruining brat summer. whose side is she on?!
What an opportunity to possibly………work it out…….on . .
!
If I walked into a GameStop that was playing country, I'd turn right back around and walk out 🤣
hey now, patsy cline would have been a brat!
Cruel and unusual.
Ew
Hostile work environment
Brat is a protected category
the other day one of my coworkers didn’t like what was on the aux so he pulled out his phone and started playing his own music on it full volume. would’ve been hella brat behaviour, but like, we were playing good music and he was not. k so to be a brat, do what he did, but play charli.
This is the correct answer
wear a wife beater tank top. buy a pack of cigarettes. you don’t have to smoke just for the look. and then like go vibe somewhere
We call that a wife *pleaser* tank top now ;)
oh i love that
Right? I love it. And it gets a little giggle out of everyone every time I say it. Win win.
Wife respecter*
Or you know… white tank top
Yeah but a “wife beater” is definitely a specific style. So this is a fun alternative name and almost everyone will know what you mean if you say “wife pleaser”
For the purposes of the Not Like Us music video, it still is worth remembering the old name for the irony. Otherwise it's a top tier new name
are straight people ok
need to work it out on the remix
Do Tabacco free cigarettes exist? Like prop ones?
Cbd ones do!
Yeah you can get like clove/herbal cigs
Herbal cigarettes are sooooo Brat. Esp the long black skinny ones.
Just do like I do, buy the real ones and keep them on hand so that you can light one to punctuate a pithy statement, then toss it.
omg Augustus from the fault in our stars confirmed brat
Let a girl slip a finger in
This guy unironically lives in the virgin subreddit, has complained that he can’t get laid bc he’s conservative and scared of getting “cancelled”, jerks it in Starbucks bathrooms, and thinks he’s a doomsday prepper. Id rather not subject some poor girl to that lmao
bumpin’ that (prostate)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is so cute. Paint ur nails neon green, listen to ur music loud, make ur drinks strong, runway walk whenever possible and stand up to homophobia - transphobia - racism and misogyny
You ate
Well, i am not myself a raver either. But I can have a wonderful brat summer when I am dancing on my own :)
Just keep bumpin that
Buy some poppers and a buttplug, and begin your anal masturbation journey.
Fellow straight white dude here, having a brat summer to me is just not giving a fuck and doing what you want as long as you're not hurting others! Even if it's just chilling with a cold beer or a zoot while gaming to the sounds of Charli that's a pretty brat summer imo :)
Thanks man
As a suburban mom, you best believe I’m bumpin that everywhere I go at full volume with my kids in the car and my sunglasses on. Baby falls asleep to club classics bc he’s a brat
based on you posts i’d maybe start with a therapist and deleting reddit. i mean that seriously in an effort to get you on the right track.
when you go to the store you bump charli in your headphones and remember you're as brat as anyone else. If you're online gaming tell peeps they are so julia instead of gg. paint your nails just for lols. Change your gamer icon to brat green or something like a brat green apple. Dance around your room to Sophie and AG. brat'ify any customisable game characters.
Do poppers and turn gay
Do poppers actually turn you gay? Where do I buy them?
I love that you’re so committed to brat summer you’ll turn gay for it
They don't. I'm also a straight dude and I love poppers at raves. You can usually find them at the counter at places that sell bongs and stuff.
Cultural appropriation 😔
We can’t have anything 😭
Only one way to find out…
That’s the spirit!!!
You are so Julia for this
This is an iconic post
sticky this post
You only need 3 things: a neon green shirt a pair of black sunglasses, and an instagram account. Boom. Brat coded.
no one else will tell you this, but i will: ⛷️❄️
it's wrong, but it's right
Don’t be a coward and suck a dick
keep bumping that
Call our other dudes spewing andrew tate bullshit and others bigoted ideologies
umm y'all pls check OP's comment history. Kinda sketchy
start taking estrogen
Purrrrr
Also lmk if u play fort I play!
I don’t really play anymore, I couldn’t keep up with the building
I’m not trying to be a brat, but there is a Zero Build mode in fort
pause, is there actually?
Yeah 💁
Just listen to the album and you'll get it. Charli will show you the way
incorporate brat green into your life! pens, clothing, keychain, whatever!!💚
Look for the local gay grungy indie pop clubs near you, there have been a lot having Charli XCX / brat themed nights. Even if you’re straight you can still be an ally, recently one place near me had a brat night and multiple straight friends reached out to ask me if I was going / they ended up all going too lol
go to a concert by urself and just have FUN. drink a mojito or smth
Brat is a state of mind, my dude.
truthfully, brat summer is whatever you make of it. your brat summer? go make that coin at gamestop and then buy them games idk 💀
i date a girl who is celebrating brat summer-- you could try that.
I’ve never had a girlfriend or even kissed a girl
i think we may have an answer to brat summer for you.
👆 kiss a girl (with her consent) = brat
That is a pretty brat move tbf
be gay just for the summer just for the drama and brat and julia of it all
I’ve actually thought about this. How can I become gay? I don’t want to be pretend gay yk cause I’d feel immoral.
well, you're already kissing the right number of girls... unfortunately i can't help beyond that, im a lesbian and only have my certification in turning people gay for girls 😔 best i can do is trans your gender
how can i become gay 😭😭😭😭
Do something out of your comfort zone for starters! Summer only happens once a year so experiment, get out of heteronormative rules and try new things.

just say “brat summer” before and after every action you take, listen to the music. There you go : Brat Summer
[удалено]
You just reminded me of something I need to do
throw a house party :)
the amount of straight guys who work at gamestop raving every week is bigger than u think thats like 75% of the people at raves
Crop top. Sunglasses inside. A convoluted scheme to get your friends and coworkers to listen to brat. Making references in the group chat. Get an ear pierced.
Download Grindr, and just see where it leads you.
if u have to ask u can’t actually. Looking at ur post and comment history you don’t deserve to have a brat summer either you need to go to therapy
looking at ur post history u deserve to be bullied and not sure why yall are engaging with this person.
Holy shit dude jerks off in Starbucks and thinks Biden funds Pride month and is mad about that but wants to know how he can be gay because he doesn't have any luck with girls? Bro needs therapy not a brat summer.
Right lmao
exactly clock him
yeah it's not brat summer for FinalFan9 sorry babe 💚
gggoooddddd someone stop the straight white men from posting on this sub like they're martyrs for enjoying queer-coded music!!!!!
I think they are trying to tell us they want boyfriends, but don't know how. Be gentle.
They don't even know they're too late. One Of Us
brat summer is a mindset.
Just share ur bag at the club iykyk
Brat summer is really just a state of mind
Dance in your house and drink water. Eat some salads and call your friends
I'm gonna unjoin this sub now bye angels
So many “I’m straight” posts. Like…congrats?
they’re just feeling like the minority for the first time lol i just giggle at these posts
Ikr like sorry u feel left out of the safe space the girlies created for ourselves? now are we now turning it back into something abt u again? 🙄
Beer and video games is pretty brat. Beating elden ring dlc is also brat af
Bump Brat while gaming its what i do
Is this satire? Lol I can’t tell anymore.
Consensual hand holding with a man
Buy a pack cigarettes and walk down to your most popular local bar around midnight on a Friday night. Smoke mysteriously outside and then go in and order a sugar free vodka redbull. Keep pounding back those vodka red bulls until someone asks you to go to bathroom with them. Then, you can start bumpin that
Maybe suck ur first dick? Idk…🤷♂️
You send butthole pics to all your gay friends and thank them for being gay. I'll also take the pics thanks
Have you sniffed poppers before?
Suck a man’s penis
Cocaine
stupid post
OP I am wondering the same thing
Start dating men? No? I tried😮💨
Brat is a mindset. Go to work, go home, be a brat. Best of luck to you.
Being a straight white guy like we are isn’t really a problem in the BRAT SUMMER vibe, until you’re building a weapon
Also mid 20s and straight - just go to concerts over the summer of artists you like (like charli) even if u go alone and enjoy your days. Stream brat and and keep good energy flowing dude
bump that constantly
All you gotta do is be a brat when ur bumpin that
Estrogen
working at gamestop is high key brat coded but i would recommend making your elden ring character brat green and or just putting on the c*ntiest armor and weapons you can find and then listen to brat while shredding enemies
Shake that thang while bumpin’ that
Get curious maybe idk good luck tho 🫶
Just go out and get in mischief with your friends, that's a Brat Summer
Switching from full fat coke to diet coke is a good start.
Call 1-800-SLAYYYTER for a good time
in the words of WTRGRL, 'dont forget that you can party all alone' anyone can have a brat summer you should just put on some lipstick alone in your room and learn how to twerk to 365 or somethin... also get some gay friends if you wanna go freak mode im sure there are plenty of genderfluid lesbians waiting to have you as their token cishet man in the friend group. either way you can have the brattiest summer ever if you just live the vibes

Orville Peck is very brat!
No ❤️
No one cares
What?
Maybe everything isn’t for you
"white guy, mid 20s, I work at a gamestop and don’t really have much of a social life." I dunno, you just describe a brat summer to me. There are zero rules to what constitutes a brat summer; make of it what you will.
be gay....? and be latino? idk
Latino?
go to the club
bumpin’ that …
sneak a song into your queue every couple of songs or so, they always ask what song it is honestly lol
just be normal and you’ll be fine 😊
Wear your headphones at work (bonus points if they are huge headphones) and play brat to drown out the bro-country. Sunglasses inside are also a vibe. You could attach a sign to your shirt that says, "Don't talk to me, I'm listening to brat." Or "for immediate assistance, please put your hands and dance, yeah I'm gonna dance all night thats right." If you're lucky, you won't even get fired.
come to my party and put your hands up
Grill lots of sausages
Play 365 and take lines in the break room
Fuck bitches
I’m sorry but it’s Grindr
Go to the concert?
If the music speaks to you, you're a brat and your brat summer is whatever you make of it - as long as you are BUMPIN THAT. Personally, my brat summer is about doing intense therapy and emotional work to get out of a bad depressive rut I'm in. And 365 will be breaking my eardums while I'm doing it.
All ima say is idk but I read the title and “a white guy, mid 20’s” and kudos to you brother. If you find the answer please let me know 🙏
Go to the park to run some laps and hit the calisthenics gear they got while bumpin that
i’m not super deep in charli’s fanbase, i’ve known of her but never got into her stuff but brat slaps as a straight white dude, just bump that shit and put your friends on, it’s not JUST gay music lmao
Just be a bit more slutty and paint your nails with a clear gel
Purchase a shitbox (preferably a hatchback) (it must have shit speakers) and bump that
kiss a gay boy at a bat
