Von Dutch by Charli xcx leaped onto the scene on February 29, 2024, heralding the arrival of Brat Summer. Fueled by Charli's sharp, irreverent edge, the glamour and grit of the brat aesthetic rippled through the music industry, lifting up other major artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Remi Wolf in its wake. Brat Summer was a declaration of fierce self-expression, bold femininity, and an embrace of excess. It was a vibe so loud it bled into many elements of our culture, from fashion to politics. In 2024, Von Dutch wasn't just a song — it was the opening bell of an insurgency. It's so obvious, it's my number one.
