brat summer
/bræt ˈsʌmər/
EN
A slang term for a summer season where one prioritizes unapologetic fun, self-indulgence, and carefree mischief, often rejecting conventional expectations of responsibility or polite behavior.
She decided to skip her summer internship and have a brat summer full of road trips and spontaneous parties.
Etymology
The phrase originated as a play on the popular 'hot girl summer' slang term from 2019, gaining traction on social media around 2023. It reclaims the negative label 'brat' to celebrate unapologetically self-centered, fun-focused summer behavior.
