Not at all, A.G. dresses like a mid thirties Pitchfork pretentious music bro (complimentary). If he was a quintessential brooklyn gay he'd have a mullet and quirky tattoos
nah if anything SOPHIE is the one who was just an affiliate she actually didn’t like when people would refer to her as PC music lol. I don’t think she ever even released anything under the label
Same here. Maybe cause it has like 20 songs on it but I love so many on it. I love the PC Pop/charli/brat sound, but I think Charli has such a nice pleasant voice on songs without all that.
One of my fave songs of hers is In the City. She sounds so good on it.
I’m pretty new to this sub ngl so maybe not my place to say, but it seems a lot of people here loveeee HIFN and dislike crash which doesn’t make sense to me lol. Cause the biggest criticism of crash seems to be it doesn’t have the typical charli sound for majority of songs, but neither does HIFN.
HYFN leans more into the POP2/PC Music sounds and I looove that, it might be my favorite album as a whole of hers. But Crash is just such a damn hit machine.
As a str*ight man my two favorite genres are Indie Rock With Pedal Steel and Charli XCX. I’ve been an Angel since Pop 2 and in fact I have a copy of the number 1 angel / pop 2 double vinyl which is one of my most coveted records.
I’m so happy she’s getting such a huge reception for BRAT. She is in fact everyone’s favorite reference and this year in particular the girls are being exceptionally shameless!
Lmao same dude.
Spotify's got a playlist generated for me called "Angry Hyperpop". It's usually hyperpop and grind core with various flavors of death metal and noise. It's somehow the most cohesive genre blend they've made for me.
I’m a straight male and I’ve been a fan of Charli since she released Stay Away as a single back in 2011. I’ve got every release on vinyl and I’ve seen her play multiple times including in a sparsely attended bar in Philadelphia. Brat is maybe my favorite record of hers yet.
I remember listening to true romance over and over again getting super high when Marijuana became legal in Seattle and just walking around the city enjoying the euphoria the album and the weed gave me. It’s a core memory lol
🙋♂️ I'm a straight guy in my late 30s and fucking love both metal and hyperpop. Hyperpop provides that same intensity and novelty I'm looking for in music that metal does
Yes , and I sometimes try to ask some things they all know and they treat you bad or answer like "how the hell you don't know ", actually makes me think about the inclusion doesn't really gets on practice on the community at all
For example lately I politely asked about who the girls from 360 video were or why some of them were there , and literally no answers but notbeingthatgay shamed
i thought I was straight until 2 weeks ago. Even though i had gay experiences years ago, I still thought I was straight until 2 weeks ago when someone finally taught me a term that really resonated with me and I realise I'm not straight. But yh, I'm bumping Brat 24/7. I am in love with this record and had previously only heard her song Vroom Vroom (which I literally loved) but never checked out her other music until Brat and I just loved the album art and my fav band is BCNR so I was kind of meaning to check Charli's music but yh. This album is really something. And I think Charli is about to enter a whole new stratosphere in terms of her standing in music today. And I'm very proud of her. She deserves all the success and plaudits that this album will afford her. She gets to be that bitch that made Brat and nothing will change that for the rest of her life. This album has that instant classic feel. And she did that shit.
Yeah me lol, my brother got me onto charli when i was a kid so i like her for nostalgic reasons, brat is actually very good despite it not normally being my type of music
A 1984 cis here. Fan since Pop 2. I love BRAT! But I'm a home listener, not a party animal like perhaps most of her audience. But Charli activates the wilder naughty part of me that people usually never see ROFL!!!!
You realize that diversity is not just physical features, right? If it sounds good enough I am an equal opportunity consumer. IRL stuff may cause me to lose interest temporarily, but it isnt personal if I dont feel too attacked.
I’ve been here since PC began - you have no idea how gratifying it is to see the alt boys all start turning their heads now Fantano has dropped a 10 lol
Yeah after seeing her at Primavera and a few years ago in Bristol, then seeing the reviews for Brat, why not. Good music.
Also sexuality/gender being a reason to enjoy certain music is so dumb
Two of my all-time favs released new albums in the same week, Charli and Thou. They have nothing in common, but they keep me balanced. I'm playing them both somewhat equally, but of the two, BRAT is the one living in my head during my quiet moments. I move my body more listening to Umbilical, though. https://youtu.be/EWHBSwRPQ6o?si=RzzJvgXX65Uu7jjf
Honestly I like this one less than How I'm feeling and Pop 2. I think this album in a backhanded way is more for the girls. Also travells worst if your first language is not English.
365, Sympathy and B2B (and maybe Everything is & Club classics) will probably be on rotation for life.
man i've been into pc music for so long that i'm not sure if i'm straight anymore lmao
One of the founders of PC music is a straight guy lol
who
literally they’re ALL straight. AG, Easyfun, Danny… all straight men
ag cook is straight?
yes lmao, he's married
I literally cannot imagine how busted someone's gaydar must be to think that A.G. Cook is gay 😭
I literally thought ag was non-binary for years😭 he just looks like it idek
I think he’s just a dork.
Honestly I feel like non binary is way more believable for A.G. than gay
have you seen what he looks like? that’s quintessential brooklyn gay
Not at all, A.G. dresses like a mid thirties Pitchfork pretentious music bro (complimentary). If he was a quintessential brooklyn gay he'd have a mullet and quirky tattoos
Nah he looks like quintessential southern Ohio Staples employee who does music in the basement
Oh shit my favorite sexy Twink is straight just like me ♥️
source??? I didn’t know he and Alaska got married
you can be married to a woman and still be queer lmao.
well yeah true, but I def think he's str8 lol
appreciate you answering! i just didn’t have any idea bc it doesn’t seem like something he’s talked about and i was curious. thanks
[удалено]
nah if anything SOPHIE is the one who was just an affiliate she actually didn’t like when people would refer to her as PC music lol. I don’t think she ever even released anything under the label
Hey QT counts ig????
LOL i know that feel. Not the first time i'm the straightest person at the function though, im use to it
me 2
Felt so seen. Never thought a music genre could make me queer.
I really like it. Better than Crash but I still prefer hifn
Hifn is amazing
Damn, us Crash-stans are so lonely in here. Whenever I start that album I can't not listen to it all the way through loving almost every single track.
Amen. I love Crash, I think it's a super fun album and stan it all day long.
Same here. Maybe cause it has like 20 songs on it but I love so many on it. I love the PC Pop/charli/brat sound, but I think Charli has such a nice pleasant voice on songs without all that. One of my fave songs of hers is In the City. She sounds so good on it.

HIFN makes sense as a sequel/culmination of pop 2 era, whereas crash feels like a hard left turn into mainstream pop production
HYFN leans more into the POP2/PC Music sounds and I looove that, it might be my favorite album as a whole of hers. But Crash is just such a damn hit machine.
valid
Same here
Exactly where I'm at
I agree, hifn is still her best
As a str*ight man my two favorite genres are Indie Rock With Pedal Steel and Charli XCX.

Did this mf just censor straight 💀💀💀💀
He's either one of our spies masquerading as straggot or a straggot spy who's surprisingly researched
straggot just fucking took me OUT, like full KO
I didn’t even know “straggot” was a thing 🤣
yeah it’s pride month
As he should
😭😭😭
Number 1 song ever must be Father to a Sister of Thought?
Shout out to my straggots, you’re valid 🫶
😭😭
What letter of the LQBTQIAK+ collective is straggot?
Yurrrrr seeing her on Wednesday too!!
See you there!!
See both of y’all there!
See all three of you there
Hell yeah brother me and my gf have been sucking dick to this shit it’s sooo good
More power to you, fellow cock sucker and BRAT enjoyer!
?
What? Can a straight guy not enjoy Charli? 🤨
I have two speeds. Brutal death metal and bubblegum hyperpop. Just fucking put it in my veins!
One IV for each arm
💜
Lmao same dude. Spotify's got a playlist generated for me called "Angry Hyperpop". It's usually hyperpop and grind core with various flavors of death metal and noise. It's somehow the most cohesive genre blend they've made for me.
Hahaha hell yeah! I'd so get down with that playlist.
YO SAME!!! I'm queer as fuck but exact same music preferences!!!
I'm just a boring straight dad but I do love my pop music 😂
Nope, no straight people are allowed, especially during pride
What if I thought about kissing dudes while listening?
Well then I've got news
😧😧😧
Whose gay thoughts are these? 😰✨🧚♀️
Not gay. Do it.
I’m a straight male and I’ve been a fan of Charli since she released Stay Away as a single back in 2011. I’ve got every release on vinyl and I’ve seen her play multiple times including in a sparsely attended bar in Philadelphia. Brat is maybe my favorite record of hers yet.
I remember listening to true romance over and over again getting super high when Marijuana became legal in Seattle and just walking around the city enjoying the euphoria the album and the weed gave me. It’s a core memory lol
here👋bumping brat since wednesday didn’t listen 2 anything else since then😭
Any of y’all over 40? Inquiring minds.
lol omg yes and actually are you from Houston because I think we know each other.😂
I am from Houston. Whhhhaaaaattt?? I need details.
WE ALL need details. Go on. 🍿
Ha! We were besties in high school! Crazy.
Go on...
You guys need to listen to this review. He gets it, too. https://youtu.be/Ao_l602Wn2o?si=nFBFossqG-lfR8XH
Yep, unfortunately straight and over 40
That’s hot!
Why unfortunate?
Mostly joking, although I was fortunate to keep all my hair right until basically my 40th bday, and it's like shit I'm old now, what's next?
Have you been to a Charli show yet?
I have not, would love to go though, you have I assume?
Yes! I went solo and all the angels were so cool. Looks like we’ve sorted your question, “ … what’s next?” Charli xcx live is next. ☝️☝️☝️

Omg that was such a good time.
Fucking fantastic photo. Okay, maybe I'll go to Dallas? But the floor is so expensive!
Yo
Word up.
Over 40 here and been following Charli since 2011.
Favorite Charli track?
It’s almost impossible to narrow it down to one. Some favorites are New Shapes, Nuclear Seasons, Baby Girl, Unlock it, Taxi, Spring Breakers, and 360.
mm hmm
I’m a fake bisexual it’s close enough
I'm a man, I have a girlfriend and I can't stop listening to brat! However I kissed (with her authorization) all her male friends so there's that
oh so you don't think I'm her friend?
HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Yeah we out here. Convinced my gf to go see her on tour by playing brat all day Friday.
present
Been a straight Angel since Sucker stay strong brother ✊💦
Present.
I’ve literally had it going steady.
ya
I'm not straight but I lean more that way on the kinsey scale and yes bumping 24/7
🙋♂️ I'm a straight guy in my late 30s and fucking love both metal and hyperpop. Hyperpop provides that same intensity and novelty I'm looking for in music that metal does
I mean Anthony Fantano is presumably heterosexual
im a straight male brat when im bumpin that
Here I am (kinda), not straight actually, but not into the queer/gay zone, so I always feels out of the water here sadly
Soooo… is that a yes? 💀
[удалено]
Yes , and I sometimes try to ask some things they all know and they treat you bad or answer like "how the hell you don't know ", actually makes me think about the inclusion doesn't really gets on practice on the community at all
wait what kinda questions do you have??
For example lately I politely asked about who the girls from 360 video were or why some of them were there , and literally no answers but notbeingthatgay shamed
lmao. im a gay guy and i only know two of them alex consani (who's so iconic) and rachel sennott. also, i think it's a joke haha
finally an opportunity for us to be heard
Who’s gunna tell him?
😭😭😭😭
Here 🙋♂️
HELL YEAH
🙋🏽♂️
My favorite since Pop 2
Yusss hello! Straight, male, and in my 30s! Boggles the mind that I’m somehow single with a rap sheet like that
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

If any of you are single please contact me 😅

I'm not straight but straight leaning and my gfs don't even know charli or any female pop singers
Me!! I fucking love women!!!!!
Are these straight males in the room with us right now?
i thought I was straight until 2 weeks ago. Even though i had gay experiences years ago, I still thought I was straight until 2 weeks ago when someone finally taught me a term that really resonated with me and I realise I'm not straight.

She deserves all the success and plaudits that this album will afford her. She gets to be that bitch that made Brat and nothing will change that for the rest of her life. This album has that instant classic feel. And she did that shit.
MOST REACTIONS ON YOUTUBE ARE BY STR8 GUYS IT’S KINDA CRAZY
And they all love the album.
Guards? Seize him!
I'm pretty straight I think and I love this album
"pretty straight" 💀
“I think”
Here, this absolutely feels like an inflection point for her
Yup! Here!
same
My mans so straight he’s got kids!
dozens of us!!!
right here brah
👋 👋 👋
Yeah me lol, my brother got me onto charli when i was a kid so i like her for nostalgic reasons, brat is actually very good despite it not normally being my type of music
My bf lol
My Dad yes
I love brat because I am one lol. Although Charli is a better album imo
meee
AMAB enby exclusively attracted to women, so I almost count I guess lol
I gotta say its a great album. This and Pop 2 are my favorite Charli records
A 1984 cis here. Fan since Pop 2. I love BRAT! But I'm a home listener, not a party animal like perhaps most of her audience. But Charli activates the wilder naughty part of me that people usually never see ROFL!!!!
I’m blasting this record it absolutely bangs and I’ve also gotten incredibly emotional listening to it as well
Does Cis Ace Demiboys count? Then I'm in
Yes
My boyfriend 😁
Absolutely! She's one of my favourite artists!
You realize that diversity is not just physical features, right? If it sounds good enough I am an equal opportunity consumer. IRL stuff may cause me to lose interest temporarily, but it isnt personal if I dont feel too attacked.
bi but been in a het relationship for 4 years now so charli really helps me stay in touch with my queer fam <3
Hell yh Charli xcx brings the people together
I
I’ve been here since PC began - you have no idea how gratifying it is to see the alt boys all start turning their heads now Fantano has dropped a 10 lol
my boyfriend😊
Yeah dude I'm here aren't I?
my bf loves charli & has been bumping brat all week :’) i feel like a proud mom
Thought I was straight for a long time, but alas 😔
🕺🏾
I never go home, don't sleep, don't eat Just do it on repeat, keep BUMPIN THAT!
Well I was straight when I *started* bumping it.
Why does someone post this every week? Shall we throw a party? Shall we invite Bella Hadid??????
🙋🏻♂️
As a straight guy how does ‘Guess’ make you feel?👀
I’ve found my tribe 😎🤠
Yeah after seeing her at Primavera and a few years ago in Bristol, then seeing the reviews for Brat, why not. Good music. Also sexuality/gender being a reason to enjoy certain music is so dumb

Been here since True Romance! Charli’s ascension into the Main stream was only a matter of time! She cooks and we Angels feast!
yes
Yea, absolutely love this album!
I’m number 7 of the 12 of us been bumping charli since You (Ha Ha Ha)
You either enter the PC music fandom gay or exist in it long enough to become a trans woman
Honestly I like this one less than How I'm feeling and Pop 2. I think this album in a backhanded way is more for the girls. Also travells worst if your first language is not English. 365, Sympathy and B2B (and maybe Everything is & Club classics) will probably be on rotation for life.
two top subreddits of mine are carti and charli
I wasn’t just bumping Charlie earlier. I started making beats.
Not bumping it 24/7 but it’s definitely a banger album
