    "comment": "“Somos Los Perritos Genéricos” is a self-introduction as a mission statement: we are who we say we are, and the song is the proof. The track appears on Perritos Genéricos’ Bandcamp tied to their 2019 release cycle, and it’s also listed across streaming services, anchoring a catalog that blends mismatched energies—electronic and punk and humor and rough edges—into something proudly unpolished. Bandcamp tags associated with the track point directly at that hybrid character (including electronic/house/punk/rock), which helps explain why it feels less like genre adherence and more like a chaotic group identity. The title functions like a chant you can yell with friends: self-branding that refuses glamour, embracing “generic” as camouflage and freedom. In scenes like this, the joke is often a shield—if you name yourself first, nobody can name you worse. “Somos Los Perritos Genéricos” carries that spirit: a small anthem for being underestimated, for being the scrappy ones, for being the background characters who suddenly take the center of the room because they’re having more fun than everyone else. It’s messy, immediate, and weirdly proud—exactly what an introduction should be.\u2028Listen: https://perritosgenericos.bandcamp.com/track/somos-los-perritos-gen-ricos",
