Los Crudos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No hay solo una voz
Ni una raza
Ni un pais
La escena de los estados unidos es muy egoista
No apoyan al movimiento mundial
Pero loas bandas quieren ganarse unos pesitos
Y se van de gira a europa.
Les vale mierda
Si un grupo canta en frances, japones o portugues
Es ignorado
Pero cualquier mierda en ingles
El mundo lo traga
The lyrics of Los Crudos's song "HardcorEgoismo" call out the selfishness and ignorance of the US hardcore music scene. The band points out that diversity exists within the hardcore community and that there are not only one language, one voice, one race, or one country. However, the scene in the US is selfish and doesn't support the global movement. Bands only care about making money and touring in Europe rather than supporting overseas groups that sing in languages other than English. The song highlights the fact that non-English-speaking bands are ignored, while anything in English is automatically accepted and embraced worldwide.
The words also convey a sense of frustration at the lack of understanding and recognition of the international hardcore scene, which demonstrates the US-centric mindset of the mainstream music industry. The song shows the need for unity, empathy, and support for all bands, regardless of their language or origin. Los Crudos is urging those in the US hardcore scene to break free from the narrow-mindedness that pervades it and embrace a broader, inclusive mindset.
