Young people in Serbia often use 'brz auto' as a central part of their identity, influenced by local trap music and social media. There is a strong cultural preference for German cars (Mercedes, BMW, Audi) in Serbia, often referred to as 'Nemci' (The Germans). It is common to show off a new 'brz auto' to family and friends during major holidays or Slava (patron saint days). In Belgrade, especially near the 'splavovi' (river clubs), seeing and being seen in a 'brz auto' is part of the nightlife ritual.
