Abstract
This study examines the representation of psychotic disorders in Spanish punk music over three decades, analysing 5647 songs from 177 bands. Content related to psychotic disorders appeared in 2.28% of the corpus, divided into songs with psychosis as a central theme and those using psychopathological terms incidentally. Schizophrenia and paranoia were the most referenced diagnoses, although frequently applied in ways that lacked clinical accuracy. Thematic analysis revealed two main dimensions: a clinical-therapeutic one, typically negative in tone, centred on symptoms, suffering, treatments, hospital admission and substance use; and a social dimension, highlighting stigma, rejection, loneliness and incomprehension. Although many songs linked psychosis to violence and crime, others framed it as a source of wisdom, freedom or creativity. Overall, punk music offers a complex and polarised discourse on mental illness, reflecting societal perceptions that oscillate between empathy and the reinforcement of stereotypes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
