Pablo Und Destruktion: Pop music manipulates emotions, replaces religion
Pablo García, known as Pablo Und Destruktion, is a musician and social psychologist from Gijón (born 1984). For over twenty years, he has traveled as a troubadour while studying how imagination works. He argues that mass pop industry uses songs to play with emotions, playing a key role in politics and attempting to replace religion. He contrasts ancient rituals of heart sacrifice with modern virtual 'little hearts' on screens, seeking affection from the internet to cure loneliness. He criticizes that Bad Bunny's 'casita' (little house) expresses identity but lacks class consciousness.
