Metrosexual

El Chivi's song 'Metrosexual' is a satirical and humorous critique of the modern male obsession with appearance and grooming. The term 'metrosexual' refers to a man, especially one living in an urban, post-industrial, capitalist culture, who is meticulous about his grooming and appearance. However, El Chivi flips this concept on its head by describing a character who is far from the polished image typically associated with metrosexuality.

The lyrics are filled with vivid and often grotesque descriptions of the protagonist's physical state. From having a 'mata de pelo en los huevos' (a tuft of hair on his testicles) to a 'panza redonda y grasienta' (a round and greasy belly), the song paints a picture of a man who is the antithesis of the metrosexual ideal. Despite his numerous physical flaws, including poor hygiene and various skin conditions, the protagonist still considers himself a 'chico metrosexual.' This ironic self-perception serves as a critique of superficial standards of beauty and the lengths to which people go to meet them.

El Chivi uses humor and exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of societal expectations regarding male grooming and appearance. The song also touches on the search for a romantic partner, describing a 'media naranja' (soulmate) with equally unappealing characteristics. This further emphasizes the unrealistic and often contradictory nature of societal beauty standards. By presenting such an exaggerated and unflattering image, El Chivi invites listeners to question the value and authenticity of these standards.

'El Chivi' is known for his provocative and often controversial lyrics, which frequently address taboo subjects with a mix of humor and social commentary. His musical style blends traditional Spanish folk elements with modern influences, creating a unique sound that complements his satirical approach. 'Metrosexual' is a prime example of his ability to use humor to provoke thought and challenge societal norms.
