Abstract
Pimp Flaco, a trap artist from Barcelona, and his thousands of fans that follow his public profiles in Instagram and Twitter and Youtube, have created a multi-channel of complex orality where art reception and art work become one. Artist and followers’ messages mix art and comunication, up to the point of culture stopping to be a code separated of ordinary communication, and it’s used as a whole by the community for reelaborate and obtain its collective codes. Pimp Flaco, as Homero did, is not well defined by absolute originality, but his talent consist in invoking a serie of subjects, topics and collective formulas. The cooperative use of verbal violence stands out among them.
