Critics are increasingly examining their prejudice towards media that has been derided for its femininity, girlishness and brattiness – perhaps most notably, Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, a film that is now praised for the bratty qualities it was derided for in 2006. Indeed, online music magazine Pitchfork "rescored" Charli's EP Vroom Vroom from a 4.5 upon its release in 2016 to a 7.8 in 2021.

I'm revisiting all my favorite Y2K trends, including slogan tees, trucker hats, wedge flip-flops, and barbed wire tramp stamps. Diesel and Miaou are two brands that feel particularly bratty to me, and I'm dreaming about this strawberry latex halter specifically.
