The "Brat Pack" is a nickname given to a group of young actors who frequently appeared together in coming-of-age films in the 1980s. The term was coined by writer David Blum in a 1985 New York Magazine article that described these actors not only for their work but also for their party lifestyle and close social ties. The group typically included actors such as Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, and Demi Moore. They starred in iconic '80s films like "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire," which centered on themes relevant to youth and young adulthood. Though initially used in a somewhat critical way, the name "Brat Pack" became widely recognized as a defining cultural label for this generation of young Hollywood actors and their films.
