Oh my That comes close to waterboarding How do you even find that stuff? I sometimes hear such stuff when zapping on TV, but I could not name any of those "artists".
The funny thing is that in Brazil they have similar music, no idea what they call it over there, but it is the same crap for the same kind of people, simple minds

You can find that stuff among the Portuguese immigrant community some people from my parents generation are in a cultural time wharp musically. They cling to this sort of stuff it is nostalgic for them.
Portugal would fare even better if it did not have a considerable remainder of unqualified older people (who can hardly read and write), who come from a time when Portugal was still a poor agricultural country. Germany or Japan don't have such people. So, I think 20 years from now when those people have disappeared from the statistics, Portugal will improve a lot on various statistics.
I witness it on a regular basis: the young Portuguese are very modern and progressive, know everything about the latest gadgets and technologies, while a certain percentage of older people are like dinosaurs. And they never have been more than that, even when they were younger. I know that sounds harsh. Education is very important, and some of the older generations simply never enjoyed a good education. So sometimes there are still campaigns to encourage people to finally get a high school degree, just for the sake of it. Everyone knows hardly any of them will get jobs anymore.
Anyway, I find it funny that people always think of beaches when they think of Portugal. Many of the nicest places are far from the coast, like these:

A fourth grade education was all some achieved in the 1950'a-1970's even less before that. There are many examples of people from that generation and the previous generation many of which could only sign their names and read very little immigrating to California and becoming extremely successful while the one's that remained in Portugal with the same level of education largely did not improve their conditions much.
