It’s a summer of brats and brads: dirtbag dissident culture vs. its on-again, off-again relationship to esoteric white bros. And I am not gonna sugarcoat it: this subcultural showdown feels final. Only one vaguely right-wind coded flavor of media cartel will reign supreme. WHOMSTVE WILL IT BE?
In times such as these, we must turn to the experts, to the soldiers in the trenches. The streetwise experts. The arcane data bro analysts….we are pleased to feature quick-witted NICE Boy and, let’s be real, backklash fanatic, Monty Carlo to the program, to help us solve the most important question at the center of the e-right civil war: is Charli XCX a right wing pop star now?
Monty joins Poolhouse to delve into the Brat meets Dimes meets Gabriette of it all. how did this smash album become an alt-right 2.0 cultural staple? is charli driving the underground into the mainstream, or involved in subversive machinations meant to manufacture cultural dissent meant to subvert dirtbag trads and esoteric Christian rw bros.
in a breathtaking and seemingly impossible feat, one Charlotte Atkinson from England, stands at the intersection of this emerging subcultural divide with the release of BRAT, her buzzworthy summer smash. By harnessing the power of the zeitgeist and feeding it through the most powerful PR blitzkrieg technology that the record industry can afford, Charli XCX captured the moment. Poolhouse and Monty journey to the center of the stormy Election Year zeitgeist to get to the bottom of the bitch, the brat, and the c**t of it all.
