The brat spirit still courses through new works by Gabriel Smith, Frankie Barnet, and Honor Levy, exemplifying a performative abandon and luxe, hedonistic trashiness.
Instagram and TikTok characterizations of young adults as 'brats' resonate in the literature, where unlikable characters confront the absurdity of modern social mores.
Characters in these works often reject societal norms with absurd behavior, showcasing the appeal of immaturity and a carefree attitude as glamorously rebellious.
The protagonists from Smith and Levy found a voice in 'brat' culture and highlight the chaos of online identities, revealing a deeper cultural commentary.
