NCT Fans Fight Back Against Charli XCX And “Brat Summer”
This year, “Brat Summer” is in full swing thanks to Charli XCX‘s latest album, Brat, which has become the soundtrack of the season.
The aesthetic — dominated by neon green — has taken over everything from fashion to social media memes, much like the Barbie pink craze of summer 2023. But not everyone is thrilled about this trend…

In fact, NCT‘s dedicated fans NCTZENs couldn’t disagree more.
Why the uproar? Well, many K-Pop fans would know that neon green is NCT’s official color. As such, it seems their fans aren’t too happy about sharing it. Memes and videos that have — up until now — been used by NCTZENs to talk about their favorite group are now being taken over by Charli XCX fans, prompting NCTZENs to ask NCT to “fight back.”

NCTZENs argue that slime green has been synonymous with NCT for years, while Charli XCX’s fans embrace the color as a fresh, rebellious statement for the summer. The resulting back-and-forth has been nothing short of entertaining, with both sides making their case through memes, videos, and cheeky comments.

While it’s all in good fun, the debate highlights just how powerful and personal color can be in the world of pop culture. So, who really owns neon green? That’s up for you to decide, but one thing’s for sure — it’s the color of the season, no matter who claims it.
