about

"Music for fat people". It makes a strong criticism on several things about the so called "culture of cancellation"; of course not about everyone, but on people with a recurrent attitude towards certain issues of nowadays, simultaneously being hypocritical with their actions and speech (At least something that happens a lot here in Mexico, or Mexico City). It talks about hypocrisy and the incongruency of their actions, such as criticising some matter, but simultaneously protecting and being part of that matter. Reminds us of how we used to defend some point in silence, but now, it's possible to defend it explicitly, or maybe because it is just convenient for you since a lot of people start doing it. On the lyrics, this is applied to domestic violence and humiliation towards women: Now we are able to defend and disagree to such issue, and it is great, but... with your actions, you are somehow part of it, consuming culture that promotes and normalises that problem. This kind of intolerance is good, but this attitude is sometimes applied towards things that shouldn't be banned or halted. This is exposed in the lyrics talking about people getting offended if you don't like what they do (Like music). I make a reference to this with the songs title, when for example, rockers don't like reggaeton, and people who like that music get offended since rockers just don't like that. Eventually they would try to humiliate rock music referring to it as "music for fat people". This enhances so much hate and in a way, discredits the good intended fights, which  actually try to improve the world, rising up against what shouldn't be normalised. Eventually, people won't be sure what is worth fighting and what is not. This situation creates a moral loop, where paradoxically, instead of gaining freedom of speech, the actual context makes us wonder if it is ok to speak up, rise up, or even comment about a specific topic. The point is that, there's a lack of a hermeneutic perspective when making criticism towards a any matter.

BTW... I am not an obsessed advocate of rock music. What is "rock music" anyways?

lyrics

Tres piés bajo la tierra,
dos piés cuando sale el sol,
condenando la mierda,
que enfrasco en un crisol.

La tesis que tuviste,
que naifente soportar,
al fin rotundamente,
se llega a consumar.

Proteges al tundente,
hollarías la beldad.

Te quejas de los hijos,
de King y Howlin' Wolf.
Es música de gordos,
transgreden la misión.

Te sientes moralista,
normalizas l'adicción.
M'emputa qu'en tu mente,
no exista esta versión.
