After her summer-defining 2024 club-pop album BRAT, Charli XCX made a surprising announcement earlier this month. 
“I think the dance floor is dead,” she told British Vogue in an interview. 
With the announcement that her eighth studio project will be a rock album, it seems like younger generations are continuing to shift their focus away from pop music towards rock music. 
Today on Commotion, host Elamin Abdelmahmoud chats with culture writer Niko Stratis to tell us what Charli XCX’s transition into rock music represents at this current moment. 
Interview with Niko Stratis produced by Liv Pasquarelli.
