José Andrés

The song 'José Andrés' by Soziedad Alkoholika is a scathing critique of toxic masculinity and the superficial bravado often associated with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of José Andrés, a man who objectifies women and measures his worth by material possessions and sexual conquests. The repeated phrase 'por eso tiene karatxorra' underscores the idea that his bravado is a facade, masking his insecurities and lack of genuine self-worth.

The song delves into José Andrés' daily routine, highlighting his disrespectful behavior towards his mother and his disdainful attitude towards others. His actions, such as spitting in the sink and scowling at his reflection, reveal a deep-seated dissatisfaction with himself. When in public, he adopts a tough demeanor, trying to assert dominance and gain approval from his peers. However, this facade crumbles when he is alone, exposing his vulnerability and loneliness.

The lyrics also explore José Andrés' interactions with women, particularly his degrading behavior when he is with his friends. He catcalls and insults women from the safety of his car, but when he is alone, he lacks the courage to approach them. This duality highlights the performative nature of his machismo, which is driven by a need to impress others rather than genuine confidence. The song concludes by suggesting that José Andrés' behavior stems from his loneliness and insecurity, and that true strength lies in those who endure his antics rather than in his superficial toughness.
