Niño Rata

The song 'Niño Rata' by Zarcort delves into the phenomenon of young people, often derogatorily referred to as 'niño rata' in Spanish-speaking communities, who spend an excessive amount of time playing video games, particularly Minecraft, and engaging with online content creators like Willyrex and El Rubius. The term 'niño rata' is a pejorative slang used to describe kids or teenagers who are perceived as annoying or immature gamers, often associated with poor social skills and a lack of outdoor activities.

Zarcort, known for his gaming-related raps and songs, uses this track to critique the lifestyle of these young gamers. He points out the irony of their devotion to virtual worlds while neglecting the real world around them. The lyrics suggest that these individuals worship YouTubers as deities and have become so engrossed in their digital lives that they've forgotten what the actual sun looks like, humorously noting that the only sun they see is the one in the game League of Legends (LOL). The song also touches on the idea that the computer has become the worst drug for these kids, hinting at the addictive nature of gaming and the internet.

Furthermore, Zarcort addresses the social implications of this lifestyle, suggesting that it's becoming a widespread issue with more 'niño ratas' being 'born' into the world of Minecraft. He also criticizes those who fail to achieve fame through their gaming channels and become bitter, as well as the idea that some people accuse him of selling out for making a living through his music and gaming content. The song is a social commentary on the impact of gaming and internet culture on youth, and the artist's own place within that culture.
