Roast Yourself Challenge

The 'Roast Yourself Challenge' by Calle y Poché is a song that turns the tables on criticism by embracing it and turning it into entertainment. The challenge, which became a trend among YouTubers and influencers, involves creating a song or video that self-deprecatingly addresses the criticisms and negative comments they receive from their audience or 'haters'. Calle y Poché, a popular influencer duo known for their lifestyle and relationship content, take this opportunity to address the various stereotypes and judgments they face, often with a humorous twist.

The lyrics of the song are a direct response to the negative comments and stereotypes about their appearance, intelligence, and relationship. They mock the idea that they only kiss for the camera, that they are superficial for enjoying luxury items like Chanel bags, and that they should conform to traditional gender roles within their relationship. The song also touches on the pressure to look a certain way, as seen in the lines about makeup and body image. By using humor and sarcasm, Calle y Poché reclaim the narrative and show that they are in on the joke, unbothered by the negativity.

Culturally, the song reflects a broader trend of public figures using self-deprecation as a way to address criticism. It's a form of empowerment, showing that they are confident enough to laugh at themselves and the absurdity of the expectations placed upon them. The song also highlights the paradox of their critics' behavior, who despite their negative comments, continue to engage with and financially support the influencers' lifestyle.
