Defying Social Labels with 'Eso Que Dice La Gente'
The song 'Eso Que Dice La Gente' by Boixos Nois confronts the stereotypes and negative labels that society often imposes on certain groups. The lyrics are straightforward and repetitive, emphasizing the dismissal of society's judgmental views. The artist declares that despite being called 'drunks, lazy, delinquents,' they choose not to pay attention to these accusations and instead focus on living 'these golden times.' This suggests a conscious decision to ignore the negative perceptions and enjoy life regardless of societal prejudices.
The repetition of the phrase 'Y eso que dice la gente' (And that which people say) serves as a mantra of resistance against the societal norms that attempt to define and confine the group. The artist's use of 'estoy acostumbrado' (I'm used to it) indicates a level of resilience and familiarity with being misjudged. The song's chorus, with its catchy 'Lololo lolo lo' hook, adds a sense of unity and camaraderie among those who share this experience of being unfairly labeled.
Boixos Nois, known for their association with the FC Barcelona supporters' group, often reflects themes of solidarity and defiance in their music. 'Eso Que Dice La Gente' can be seen as an anthem for those who feel marginalized or misunderstood by mainstream society. It encourages listeners to embrace their identity and live fully, without letting the negative opinions of others dictate their self-worth or happiness.
