Los Piojos were a rock band from Argentina, highly popular, and one of the seminal bands of the 1990s Argentine suburban rock movement.
As with most suburban rock bands, their formative sound owes a significant amount to the style of the Rolling Stones. Unlike most suburban outfits, however, their style evolved significantly with each successive album, not only developing a unique style for the band but also quite harmoniously incorporating elements of murga, candombe, and tango to an electric guitar base. This plus generally tight and at times memorable songwriting by frontman Ciro, set them apart from the legions of suburban bands, and has made them one of the most popular bands in modern Argentine rock, with strong following across Latin America and Europe, unusual for a band in their sub-genre of Argentine rock. Their popularity remains undiminished to this day.

Famous quotes containing the word los:
“... when I finish reading People, I always feel that I have just spent four days in Los Angeles. Women’s Wear Daily at least makes me feel dirty; People makes me feel that I haven’t read or learned or seen anything at all.”
