Nuevas Formas de Hacer El Ridículo

Carolina Durante's song "Nuevas Formas de Hacer El Ridículo" delves into the complexities and absurdities of modern digital interactions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how social media and online personas have become a masquerade, where people hide behind curated profiles and digital masks. The repeated phrase "Fiesta de disfraces en las pantallas" (Masquerade party on the screens) underscores the idea that the online world is a place where people present exaggerated or false versions of themselves, often leading to a disconnect between their online and real-life identities.

The song also highlights the superficiality and awkwardness that can arise from these digital interactions. Lines like "Os conocisteis por internet, pero os cruzasteis el otro día y no supisteis qué hacer" (You met online, but when you crossed paths the other day, you didn't know what to do) emphasize the gap between online familiarity and real-world social skills. This disconnect is further explored in the verse where the speaker awkwardly admits to masturbating to someone's photo, showcasing the often inappropriate and invasive nature of online behavior.

Carolina Durante uses a mix of humor and critique to address the impact of social media on personal relationships. The song suggests that while we may feel like we know each other intimately through our online profiles, these connections are often shallow and misleading. The repeated assertion that "El perfil online supera la persona" (The online profile surpasses the person) serves as a poignant reminder of the growing dominance of digital personas over genuine human interactions.
