Semos Unos Monstruos

The song 'Semos Unos Monstruos' by Mojinos Escozios is a humorous and rebellious anthem that challenges societal norms and perceptions. The band, known for their comedic and irreverent style, uses this song to address how they are perceived as 'monsters' by society. Despite not fitting the traditional image of monsters—no long nails, no hairy bodies, no tails—they are still labeled as such by those around them. This labeling is a metaphor for how society often ostracizes those who do not conform to its standards.

The lyrics highlight various reasons why people might see them as outcasts: their unkempt appearance, their unconventional behavior, and their refusal to adhere to societal expectations. For instance, they mention not having shaved since the 1980s and wearing the same shirt for two weeks. These details paint a picture of a group that is unapologetically themselves, even if it means being misunderstood or judged. The repeated chorus, where different groups of people call them 'monsters,' underscores the widespread nature of this judgment.

However, the song also carries a defiant tone. By repeatedly asserting, 'Nosotros no semos ningunos mostros, nosotros semos los Mojinos Escozios!' (We are not monsters, we are Mojinos Escozios!), the band reclaims their identity and rejects the labels imposed on them. This defiance is a celebration of individuality and nonconformity, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves regardless of societal expectations. The humor and irony in the lyrics make the message more accessible and engaging, inviting listeners to laugh at the absurdity of these judgments while also reflecting on their own perceptions and biases.
