Diary of a Gen Z student: Kamala Harris has much better things to offer than 'brat'

I’m not sure that Harris’s image online is being taken as seriously by Gen Z as people think

Maybe all publicity is good publicity. Picture: Barry Cronin

So, it’s ‘brat’ summer. Charlie XCX declared it with her latest album. And it feels like the entirety of the internet is jumping on the bandwagon.

The ‘brat’ aesthetic is difficult to articulate. It’s a state of being: Sleeping with your make-up on, going braless, having messy hair, living by your vagaries, not worrying about what people are saying about you. These are all things ‘brat’. Everyone on my Instagram feed is having a ‘brat’ summer, including Kamala Harris.
