Imitables

Tronic's song 'Imitables' is a bold critique of the music industry's tendency to favor formulaic and unoriginal content over genuine creativity. The lyrics express a disdain for artists who prioritize commercial success and image over artistic integrity. The opening lines sarcastically suggest that the singer will write love songs to make girls cry and become a 'pop boy' on magazine covers, only to immediately reject this notion with a resounding 'Nicagando weon!' (No way, dude!). This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is a call for authenticity and innovation in music.

The song delves into the frustration of seeing countless artists who are mere clones, lacking originality and merely translating English lyrics to create their songs. The line 'Matemáticamente no somos compatibles' (Mathematically, we are not compatible) highlights the disconnect between the singer's values and those of the mainstream music industry. The repeated plea to 'evolve' and change the 'classic love story' narrative underscores the desire for fresh and meaningful content. Tronic criticizes the superficiality of artists who focus more on their appearance and image rather than the substance of their music, labeling them as 'clones' and 'one-hit wonders.'

The chorus emphasizes the prevalence of imitation in the industry, with 'imitables por doquier' (imitables everywhere) serving as a lament for the lack of originality. The song also calls out those who try to bluff their way into the scene without having anything valuable to contribute. The repeated rejection of these 'clones' and the insistence on welcoming only those who have something genuine to offer reflects a strong stance against the commodification of music. 'Imitables' is a powerful anthem for artistic integrity, urging musicians to break free from the mold and create something truly unique and meaningful.
