The Relatable Ennui of Everyday Life in 'Que Güeva'

El Tri's song 'Que Güeva' captures the universal feeling of boredom and frustration with the mundane aspects of daily life. The lyrics list various activities and responsibilities that many people find tedious, from early morning wake-ups and school subjects like physics and chemistry to final exams and special English classes. The repetition of 'que güeva' (which translates to 'what a drag' or 'how boring') emphasizes the singer's exasperation with these routine tasks.

The song also touches on more personal and domestic chores, such as cleaning up after a pet, changing a baby's diaper, and attending family gatherings. These activities, while necessary, are portrayed as monotonous and uninspiring. The mention of aerobics classes and French films adds a humorous touch, suggesting that even activities meant to be enjoyable or enriching can sometimes feel like a chore.

Musically, El Tri is known for their rock sound, and 'Que Güeva' incorporates elements of rock to convey a sense of rebellion against the monotony of everyday life. The song also critiques modern pop culture, mentioning computerized music, pop ballads, and MTV rock, implying that even popular entertainment can feel tiresome. Through its relatable lyrics and rock-infused sound, 'Que Güeva' resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the repetitive nature of daily responsibilities.
