Mi hacha hizo tu culo
Gigatron
The Satirical Journey of Metal Brotherhood
Gigatron's song 'Mi hacha hizo tu culo' is a humorous and satirical take on the dynamics of friendship and mentorship within the heavy metal subculture. The lyrics tell the story of a seasoned metalhead who takes a younger, less experienced individual under his wing, introducing him to the world of metal music. The mentor reminisces about the early days when he shared a cassette tape of Running Wild, a well-known metal band, with the young 'polluelo' (chick), helping him gain popularity and confidence through the power of metal.
The song employs exaggerated and crude metaphors to describe the mentor's influence on the mentee. Phrases like 'Mi hacha hizo tu culo' (My axe made your ass) and 'Mi espada hizo tu ojal' (My sword made your hole) are hyperbolic expressions of the mentor's role in shaping the mentee's identity. These metaphors, while vulgar, are meant to be taken humorously, reflecting the over-the-top and rebellious nature of metal culture. The mentor's pride in his influence is evident, but there's also a sense of disappointment and betrayal when he discovers that the mentee has strayed from the metal path, now 'pinchando en Pachá' (DJing at Pachá), a famous nightclub associated with mainstream and electronic music.
The song also touches on themes of loyalty and authenticity within subcultures. The mentor feels a sense of ownership and responsibility for the mentee's development, and the mentee's shift to a different musical scene is seen as a betrayal. This reflects the often rigid boundaries and strong sense of identity within subcultures like metal, where authenticity and loyalty are highly valued. Gigatron's use of humor and satire in 'Mi hacha hizo tu culo' not only entertains but also provides a commentary on the dynamics of mentorship, loyalty, and authenticity in the world of metal music.
