New music genres are usually a) ephemeral, and/or b) hilariously desperate. But once in a while a group comes along and introduces one with a snazzy name and a little bit of substance. Take HOLYCHILD (@holychild), who affectionately call their songs brat pop.
âItâs essentially sarcastic pop music, which is talking about the role of genders in our culture, and our cultureâs obsession with fame, beauty, money, age, youth and health,â says lead singer Liz Nistico.
Hey, if youâre going to give your songs a never-before-heard description you might as well make it catchy. Thatâs the way Liz is approaching the groupâs style too, referring to their current look as âfuturistic disco western.â
âI didnât really grow up with that much money, and my mom always said, âItâs not what you wear; itâs how you wear it,ââ says Liz. âThings will come in and out of our lives, and itâs just like, âAll right, how are we going to put this together and make it look cool?ââ
That works just as well for Louie Diller, the groupâs other half.
âLiz is our de facto stylist,â he says. âShe collabs with a couple stylists in L.A., and the three of them just kill it. I mean, itâs so nice to have âem because I just sit there and they just hand me the coolest fâing clothes in the world and tell me to wear âem. And I happily oblige.â
