The popular music narcogangster explicit content is characterized by its violent expression coupled with a particular aesthetic (under different typified performances). At the methodological level, this work proposes the characterization of the main modes of representation of this massive phenomenon, based on the semiotic investigation of some videos of worldwide importance. The results indicate that links between drug trafficking, ostentatious consumption practices, incitement to violence and Dionysian idea of giving free rein to desires are established as a backdrop to these sonorous aesthetic discourses. The understanding of this process in popular music is discussed as a violent and successful trend in media coverage.
