Rage Against the Screen: A Critique of Modern Television
Tronic's song "Tele Culiá" is a raw and unfiltered critique of modern television. The lyrics express a deep frustration and anger towards the content broadcasted on TV, which the artist perceives as fake and filled with garbage. The opening lines, "Me siento mal / Cuando enciendo en las mañanas / La televisión," set the tone for the song, highlighting the negative impact that watching TV has on the singer's mood. This sentiment is further emphasized with the repeated phrase "Fuckin tele re culia," a strong expression of disdain towards the medium.
The song delves into the idea that television is primarily driven by profit, showing and selling worthless content to the masses. Lines like "Solo piensas en ganar / Mostrando mierda / Vendiendo mierda" criticize the industry's focus on monetary gain over quality or truth. This perspective reflects a broader societal concern about the commercialization of media and the erosion of genuine, informative content.
In a moment of rebellion, the singer dreams of a world where TV channels are destroyed, and he physically throws his television out the window. This act symbolizes a desire to break free from the influence of television and its negative effects. The repeated chants of "Yeah, yeah, yeah" towards the end of the song add a sense of catharsis and liberation, as if the singer is finally free from the clutches of the screen. Tronic's punk rock style, characterized by its raw energy and rebellious spirit, perfectly complements the song's message, making "Tele Culiá" a powerful anthem against the superficiality and manipulation of modern television.
