Purento

Purento is a term that refers to a specific type of artistic or literary work that is characterized by its highly exaggerated and often absurd nature. It typically employs elements of satire, parody, and dark humor to critique or comment on social, political, or cultural phenomena. The word itself is not a widely recognized academic or critical term, but rather a colloquial or niche descriptor used within certain artistic circles to denote this style.

Works classified as purento often feature outlandish characters, improbable scenarios, and a deliberate disregard for conventional narrative structures. The humor derived from purento can be provocative and challenging, aiming to elicit a strong reaction from the audience. Its intent is often to expose hypocrisy or absurdity through extreme exaggeration. The precise boundaries of what constitutes purento can be subjective, and its interpretation may vary among individuals. It is not a formal genre with established rules but rather a descriptive label for a certain sensibility.
