Mira Una Moderna

Putilatex's song "Mira Una Moderna" is a biting satire on modern hipster culture, capturing the essence of a subculture that is often seen as pretentious and superficial. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has transformed from a more innocent, perhaps rural, background into a stereotypical 'moderna'—a term used here to describe someone who is overly trendy and concerned with appearances. The song critiques the shift from simple pleasures to more hedonistic and artificial pursuits, such as the transition from enjoying 'peta-zetas' (a type of candy) to consuming tablets of drugs.

The song's imagery is rich with references to fashion and lifestyle choices that are emblematic of the modern hipster. The mention of high-heeled boots, fishnet stockings, and a half-shaved head highlights the extreme lengths to which individuals go to fit into this subculture. The lyrics also touch on the superficiality of these choices, suggesting that the 'moderna' is more concerned with appearances and social status than genuine self-expression. The repeated line, "Mira una moderna," serves as a mocking refrain, emphasizing the singer's disdain for this lifestyle.

Putilatex also delves into the social dynamics of being a 'moderna,' pointing out how the protagonist has abandoned their rural friends and adopted a more ambiguous, perhaps insincere, social persona. The song critiques the consumerist culture associated with being a 'moderna,' with references to shopping at trendy stores like Zara and Mango, and the ultimate irony of opting for 'almacenes Navarro,' a less fashionable choice. The song's tone is both humorous and scathing, making it a sharp commentary on the absurdities of modern hipster culture.
