Tiempos Modernos

Muchachito Bombo Infierno's song "Tiempos Modernos" is a sharp and satirical commentary on the absurdities and contradictions of contemporary society. The lyrics highlight the irony of modern times, where those who sell weapons can receive a Nobel Peace Prize, and the severity of punishment is often inversely proportional to the amount stolen. This paradoxical world is further emphasized by the superficial values that prioritize who you sleep with over the quality of your work, and the obsession with artificial beauty standards like plastic surgery.

The song also delves into the bizarre and often hypocritical aspects of consumer culture. The mention of genetically modified foods, such as a tomato with a spider gene and a square watermelon from Beijing, underscores the unnatural and sometimes ridiculous lengths to which modern society goes in the name of progress and convenience. The frustration of not being able to board a flight with the square watermelon serves as a metaphor for the impracticality and absurdity of these so-called advancements.

Muchachito Bombo Infierno uses humor and irony to critique the disposable nature of modern life, where everything from relationships to consumer goods is designed to be used and discarded. The repeated phrase "caca, caca gue" serves as a playful yet pointed reminder of the messiness and absurdity of the world we live in. The song encourages listeners to question the status quo and reflect on the true cost of modern conveniences and societal norms.
