The Screen's Illusion Versus Life's Richness

The song "Yo Nunca Vi Televisión" by 31 Minutos, a Chilean television program known for its puppet characters and satirical humor, delves into the theme of television consumption and its impact on personal development. The lyrics tell the story of someone who initially shunned television, preferring to engage in more intellectually stimulating activities such as studying and reading. However, this changes when the character's father, who sells televisions, gifts one to them. The song then explores the seductive nature of television and how it can create a false sense of companionship and contentment.

As the character becomes more engrossed in the world of television, they begin to neglect their physical health and personal hygiene, illustrating the potential negative consequences of excessive TV watching. The turning point comes when the television explodes, which serves as a metaphor for a moment of clarity and realization. The character then sells the television back to their father and rediscovers the joy and complexity of the real world, particularly the power of imagination and the importance of genuine human connections.

The song uses a playful and catchy tune to convey a serious message about the importance of balancing media consumption with real-life experiences. It suggests that while television can be entertaining, it should not replace personal growth, relationships, and the development of one's own creativity. The character's journey from being consumed by the television to finding happiness and belief in love outside of it serves as a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of living life through a screen.
