Gente que no (con Todos tus muertos)

The song "Gente que no (con Todos tus muertos)" by Los Auténticos Decadentes, featuring Todos Tus Muertos, is a vibrant critique of societal norms and the pressures that come with them. The lyrics present a dichotomy between people who impose expectations and those who reject them, emphasizing the freedom of choice in one's life path. The song's title, which translates to 'People who don't,' reflects a rebellion against conforming to the roles dictated by society, whether it's being a liar, a police officer, or someone who blindly follows the path of education and work without questioning its purpose.

The song's verses delve into the frustrations of living under the constant scrutiny and demands of others, such as parents who want their children to succeed in a conventional sense. The chorus, with its repeated 'gente que no,' serves as an anthem for those who refuse to be categorized or to follow a predetermined path. The inclusion of raggamuffin, a style of music that originated in Jamaica, adds a layer of cultural resistance and street wisdom to the song, suggesting that there are alternative ways of living that are not bound by mainstream expectations.

The song ultimately poses a direct question to the listener: 'What the hell are you doing with your life?' This confrontational approach forces self-reflection and challenges the listener to consider their own choices. Are they conforming to societal pressures, or are they living authentically? The song encourages listeners to resist being pigeonholed into roles they don't want, advocating for individuality and the courage to live life on one's own terms.
