Não Recomendado

Leo Bonetto's song "Não Recomendado" is a powerful critique of societal norms and the labels imposed on individuals who deviate from conventional expectations. The repeated imagery of a "photo" being displayed in various public spaces, such as a large avenue, a morning newspaper, and on television, symbolizes the pervasive scrutiny and judgment faced by those who are considered outsiders. This imagery highlights how society often sensationalizes and stigmatizes those who do not conform, turning their lives into public spectacles.

The recurring phrase "Não recomendado à sociedade" ("Not recommended to society") serves as a defiant badge of honor for those marginalized by societal standards. It reflects the artist's rejection of societal rejection itself, embracing the very labels meant to ostracize. The song's lyrics list derogatory terms like "pervertido" (perverted) and "viado" (a derogatory term for gay), which are often used to demean and dehumanize. By repeating these terms, Bonetto exposes the absurdity and cruelty of such labels, challenging listeners to question their own biases and the societal structures that uphold them.

The song also warns against engaging with the "aberration," urging listeners not to look into the eyes, believe the heart, or drink from the cup of those deemed "not recommended." This serves as a satirical commentary on the irrational fear and prejudice that society harbors against those who are different. Bonetto's work is a call to action, encouraging empathy and understanding over judgment and exclusion. Through "Não Recomendado," he invites listeners to reflect on the arbitrary nature of societal norms and the importance of embracing diversity and individuality.
