I saw Charli xcx play live a handful of times, including a raucous show in the basement of a hotel. Only a few years later, I was hindered by twinks without any sense of spatial awareness. Still, the grindset remained. \u201cTrophy\u201d provided the mantra: \u201cTake the crown, shut it down, &#8217;bout to steal the show\/ Shooting star, I&#8217;m a boss, Marilyn Monroe.\u201d Sure, it was sometimes unclear if the party was mirroring vacuity or satirizing it. But for a time, even nihilistic partying served as a release.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Projects like Vroom Vroom and brat are career highlights because it\u2019s refreshing to see someone be honest about their desires. Tired of sheen and perfection, listeners reward the fretting, nervous envy, and messy girl antics of stars like Charli xcx. Gone are the days of Blair Waldorf and clean girls, we want crashout-era Lindsay Lohan, Lily Allen, and a free Britney. Recklessness is in. \u201cTry to catch me, but you\u2019re too slow,\u201d Charli winks to the good girls on her way to the afterparty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The camaraderie that Charli xcx exemplified drove me and my friends out of the house and into the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-309213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
