Bobo Playground

This song comes from what will be classified in 100 years as post-confinement art: that which was inspired by desires for a new world and which in fact produced a realistic observation on the absolute power of our consumer society. With a lot of levity and a bit of absurdity, Alexis HK depicts the loneliness of the consumer who dreams himself elsewhere but reassures himself in this way. With a great self-deprecation, he counts himself among this socio-economic group that constitutes the Bobos. A Bobo is perhaps a person who wants above all to keep his childlike soul in order to evolve happily in the great playground that his means allow him to build year after year. A lot of pleasure sprinkled with poetry in this track which signs the return of Alexis HK, 4 years after the darker "Comme un ours". "For this song, I had fun gathering the cliches of the world of the bobos, the universe of this privileged socio-style, of which I think, from near or far, I am part. So I first made fun of myself, one day when I was ordering a super design doormat. Basically, I think I am concerned about the notion of privilege and the privileged. I wanted to laugh about it, but I find the question serious. And then the name "bobo", like a little wound that your mother treats with chrome mercury, brings me back to the world of childhood, when you scratch yourself when you fall on the hopscotch. A song that often provokes an amused connivance with an audience that sometimes recognizes itself..." Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
