Clase 70

Clase 70 by La Guardia Hereje is a nostalgic ode to the experiences and cultural touchstones of someone born in the 1970s. The song opens with the singer's birth details, setting the stage for a personal and generational narrative. The mention of not remembering Perón, a significant political figure in Argentina, immediately situates the listener in a specific historical context. The lyrics then move through various childhood memories, from watching black-and-white television to experiencing early milestones like the first communion captured on Super 8 film.

The song continues to weave through the cultural fabric of the '70s and '80s, referencing popular figures like Piluso, Minguito, and Pipo Pescador, and significant events like the 1978 World Cup. These references serve as cultural anchors, evoking a sense of shared history and collective memory. The mention of the military, hyperinflation, and the Falklands War adds a layer of socio-political commentary, highlighting the turbulent times that shaped the singer's formative years.

As the song progresses, it touches on global events like the fall of the Berlin Wall and the omnipresence of American influence, juxtaposed with personal experiences like missing traditional Argentine foods and the comfort of home. The arrival of new technologies like the microwave, video, and internet marks the passage of time and the inevitable changes that come with it. The song closes with a poignant reflection on how music consumption has evolved, from vinyl records to compact discs, encapsulating the essence of nostalgia and the bittersweet passage of time.
