Castelao always used the term of Hespaña instead of España, taken directly from the old name Hispania. By using Hespaña he was in fact referring to the Iberian Peninsula as a whole, and not just to the country known as Spain. In fact, he would use the term España in a depreciative way, an example of the "past" and what "should be avoided". It was his ideal that a federation of "Iberian Nations" should emerge to create this new Hespaña.

The selected lyrics were chosen as being depreciative to women to show misogyny. Pencils from the collection of Gonzalo Tassier Collection of Collections was the museum’s first major temporary exhibit after its opening, staged as part of the foundation’s mission to promote collecting. The idea was to expand what is worthy of a museum exhibit, focusing on what the museum calls “urban collecting” about everyday objects not necessarily all that old. The idea behind it is that these objects have something to say about Mexican society.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly has been called the definitive Spaghetti western. Spaghetti westerns are westerns produced and directed by Italians, often in collaboration with other European countries, especially Spain and West Germany. The name ‘spaghetti western’ originally was a depreciative term, given by foreign critics to these films because they thought they were inferior to American westerns. Most of the films were made with low budgets, but several still managed to be innovative and artistic, although at the time they did not get much recognition, even in Europe.

José Antolínez: El pintor pobre, circa 1670, oil on canvas, 201 × 125 cm, Munich, Alte Pinakothek. While prestigious artists were commissioned by the Church or the court, a great number of lesser artists made a living producing different types of painting, which they would sell in shops or on the street. An important factor to consider is the low social position artists held in society: painting was considered a position of manual labour, and was therefore subject to the low pay and lack of social recognition typically afforded to lesser, menial roles. These depreciative views and prejudgements would only be overcome in the 18th century.

The resulting panic among lenders led to a large withdrawal of credit from the crisis countries, causing a credit crunch and further bankruptcies. In addition, as foreign investors attempted to withdraw their money, the exchange market was flooded with the currencies of the crisis countries, putting depreciative pressure on their exchange rates. To prevent currency values collapsing, these countries' governments raised domestic interest rates to exceedingly high levels (to help diminish flight of capital by making lending more attractive to investors) and intervened in the exchange market, buying up any excess domestic currency at the fixed exchange rate with foreign reserves. Neither of these policy responses could be sustained for long.

It featured several hits: "Quand la musique est bonne", "Comme toi" (inspired by a picture of a young Jewish girl who died in a concentration camp although the hearfelt lyrics never explicitly mention this specific historical context), "Au bout de mes rêves", and was his breakthrough album, with about 900.000 units sold. His third album in 1984, the first with an official title, Positif (chosen as an ironic response to the refusal of the intended "negative" titles of his first two), contained new hits such as "Encore un matin" and "Envole-moi", and performed even better with about 1.000.000 units sold. His fourth album, Non homologué ("not approved", which continued his trend of ironically self- depreciative titles) garnered the hit songs "Je marche seul", "Je te donne" (a bilingual rock duet with Michael Jones with Jones singing the English verses and Goldman the French ones) and "Pas toi".
