Viejos de mierda

Todos Tus Muertos' song "Viejos de mierda" is a raw and unfiltered critique of the older generation, accusing them of ruining the future for the younger ones. The lyrics express a deep-seated frustration and anger towards the elders, who are seen as having squandered resources and opportunities, leaving the youth with nothing but a bleak outlook. The repeated call for the death of the older generation underscores the intensity of this resentment, suggesting that the only way to move forward is to completely dismantle the existing order.

The song's reference to traveling to the USA and hiding repression hints at a broader critique of political and economic systems that have failed the younger generation. The elders are accused of spending money irresponsibly, money that the youth now lack. This financial mismanagement is seen as a direct cause of the current hardships faced by the younger generation, who feel robbed of their youth and opportunities.

The mention of the film "La guerra del cerdo" (The Pig War) adds a cultural layer to the song, drawing a parallel between the fictional conflict in the movie and the real-life generational struggle. The film, which deals with a violent uprising of the young against the old, serves as a metaphor for the song's message. The lyrics suggest that this generational war is not just a fantasy but a reality that is unfolding. The final lines, stating that the youth do not deserve the death of the elders, add a layer of complexity, indicating a recognition of the moral ambiguity in wishing harm upon another group, even if they are seen as oppressors.
