Bichinho de Matar Com Pedra

“Bichinho de Matar Com Pedra” by Também Sou Hype is a satirical commentary on modern hype culture and the superficiality often associated with it. The song's lyrics are a playful yet biting critique of the lifestyle embraced by those who consider themselves trendy, fashionable, and 'cool.' The repeated phrases and exaggerated descriptions of behavior highlight the absurdity and emptiness that can sometimes accompany the pursuit of being 'hype.'

The song opens with a declaration of being modern and cool, setting the stage for a character who is deeply immersed in the hype culture. The use of English phrases like “I am very crazy” and “I am very hype and very fashion” mixed with Portuguese reflects the globalized nature of this culture. The character's lifestyle is depicted through references to smoking, partying, and drug use, all funded by a wealthy parent. This portrayal underscores the dependency and lack of genuine substance in the character's life.

The recurring phrase “bichinho de matar com pedra” (a little creature to kill with a stone) serves as a metaphor for the fragility and insignificance of the character's existence. Despite the outward appearance of being 'hype,' the character is ultimately portrayed as small, delicate, and easily overlooked. The playful language and diminutives like “pequititinha” and “singelinha” further emphasize this point, creating a contrast between the character's self-perception and their actual impact.

The song's satirical tone and catchy, repetitive structure make it both a critique and a reflection of the culture it describes. By exaggerating the traits and behaviors associated with being 'hype,' Também Sou Hype invites listeners to question the value and authenticity of such a lifestyle, encouraging a deeper reflection on what it means to be truly modern and cool.
