Summer 2019 may be in full swing, but its never too late to learn about Hot Girl Summer.
Youve undoubtedly heard the phrase, and seen it while scrolling through your Instagram feed while pretending to pay attention to your friends at a barbecue. Maybe youve even wondered why so many brand tweets are including it in their bizarre attempts to connect with buyers (isnt capitalism just grand?).
So, youre asking yourself, is it just attractive women celebrating summer? Does she stop being hot in the fall? Why are we like this?
Stop your pondering. Lets break it down.
The phrase belongs to a Houston-based rapper named Megan Thee Stallion and her song, Cash Shit. The songs lyrics reference real hot girl shit, lending itself to the nickname Stallion now goes by Thee hot girl.
While Stallion has called one of her alter egos Meg the Hot Girl, her hot nickname can be traced back to the late 90s hit by the Hot Boys, I Need A Hot Girl, which notably popularized the talk of hot girls in music.
