Los Críticos

In the song "Los Críticos" by GP, the artist delves into the societal role of critics and the impact they have on individuals and collective consciousness. The opening lines set the stage by comparing society to a looming shadow that frightens both children and fools, suggesting that critics, much like this shadow, project fear and misunderstanding rather than enlightenment. This metaphor establishes a critical tone towards those who judge and critique without genuine understanding or empathy.

The lyrics describe critics as bizarre creatures, likening them to clowns and perverted rebels who spew venomous words. This vivid imagery paints critics as hypocritical and corrupt, hiding behind a facade of rebellion while actually conforming to societal norms. The artist accuses these critics of borrowing their thoughts and lacking original ideas, portraying them as absurd and foolish conformists who suppress their own freedom. This critique extends to a broader condemnation of societal norms that stifle individuality and promote conformity.

GP also highlights the cowardice of critics, describing them as hiding in their fear while pretending to be bold. The repetition of the words "nada" and "todo" emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of their criticism, suggesting that critics find fault in everything without offering constructive feedback. The artist's frustration is palpable as they question why they are labeled as a hermit and an outcast, reflecting the alienation felt by those who do not conform to societal expectations. Through this song, GP challenges the authority and legitimacy of critics, urging listeners to question the validity of societal judgments and to embrace their individuality.
