Més Likes

Oques Grasses' song 'Més Likes' is a powerful critique of modern society's obsession with social media validation and superficial appearances. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion against the current, symbolized by the phrase 'a contracorrent,' which means 'against the current.' This metaphor suggests that true fulfillment and authenticity often require going against societal norms and expectations.

The song emphasizes the value of genuine human connection and self-expression over the pursuit of online popularity. Lines like 'Me la suda que tinguis més likes' ('I don't care that you have more likes') and 'M’agrada quan brilles, quan ets de veritat' ('I like it when you shine, when you are real') highlight the artist's disdain for the superficiality of social media culture. The repeated mention of 'molt gas' (a lot of energy) underscores the importance of living life with passion and authenticity, rather than conforming to the hollow standards set by social media.

Additionally, the song touches on the mental health implications of this digital age. Phrases like 'Volíem volar alt i estem malalts del cap' ('We wanted to fly high and now we are sick in the head') and 'Un puto selfie més i em trac la vida' ('One more damn selfie and I'll take my life') reveal the psychological toll that constant comparison and the pursuit of online validation can take. The song calls for a return to genuine, unfiltered human experiences, free from the pressures of social media.

'Més Likes' by Oques Grasses is a call to embrace authenticity and reject the superficial values perpetuated by social media. It encourages listeners to find joy in real connections and self-expression, rather than seeking validation through likes and followers.
