Nihilismo Es Una Mierda

The song 'Nihilismo Es Una Mierda' by the band Nihilismo is a raw and unapologetic critique of the nihilistic attitude prevalent in certain subcultures, particularly within the punk rock scene. The lyrics express a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the lack of originality and the repetitive nature of their music and lifestyle. The opening lines, 'No nos queda nada, nada por probar / Aunque lo intentemos seguiremos siempre igual,' convey a feeling of stagnation and the futility of trying to change or innovate within their current framework.

The band self-deprecatingly describes themselves as 'un rejunte de mediocres,' acknowledging their mediocrity and the unoriginality of their music. This admission is not just a critique of their own work but also a broader commentary on the state of the punk rock genre, which they feel has become formulaic and devoid of genuine creativity. The line 'No inventamos nada, todo hecho esta igual' underscores this sentiment, suggesting that everything has already been done, and there is nothing new left to create.

Despite this bleak outlook, the song also embraces the core elements of punk rock culture, such as singing about drugs, alcohol, and rebellion. The final lines, 'Cantamos a la droga, al escabio y a fumar / El punk rock Espinosa y a la mierda lo demas!' highlight their commitment to the raw, unpolished essence of punk rock, even if it means rejecting everything else. This defiant stance is a testament to their authenticity and refusal to conform to mainstream expectations, embodying the true spirit of punk rock.
