De Lo Bueno Muy Poco
Asspera
A Satirical Take on Socioeconomic Struggles
Asspera's song "De Lo Bueno Muy Poco" is a raw and satirical commentary on the socioeconomic issues plaguing society. The lyrics are filled with references to economic instability, such as inflation and deflation, which are depicted as ongoing problems that have led to a sense of hopelessness and frustration. The line "Ya todo se fue al carajo" (Everything has gone to hell) captures the overall sentiment of disillusionment. The song's tone is irreverent and rebellious, reflecting a punk rock ethos that challenges the status quo.
The song also delves into the absurdity of everyday life amidst economic turmoil. Phrases like "Pogueando en un reno 12" (Moshing in a Renault 12) and "Vamos de travas y a escabiar" (Let's go with transvestites and drink) highlight a sense of escapism and defiance. The mention of "matando emos en open door" (killing emos in open door) and listening to Judas Priest on a tractor adds a layer of dark humor, emphasizing the chaotic and surreal nature of the world the song describes.
Asspera doesn't shy away from criticizing political and financial corruption. The lyrics mention external debt and the manipulation of economic figures, with lines like "Deuda externa, dibujada" (External debt, drawn) and "La fiesta sigue en el tribunal" (The party continues in the court). The song's title, "De Lo Bueno Muy Poco" (Very Little of the Good), encapsulates the overall message: in a world rife with corruption and economic hardship, there is very little good to be found. The song ends on a cynical note, suggesting that even in lower-tier football matches, government negotiations are taking place, further highlighting the pervasive nature of corruption.
