There’s no denying it: 2024 is the year of Brat Summer. But the term “brat” is anything but new in the music industry. One of its earliest uses cropped up during the 90s Riot Grrrl movement in the band name Bratmobile, whose drummer is CD Baby’s own President Molly Neuman. You can read Molly’s thoughts on “brat” in this article from The New York Times Style.
