After demobilization, I saw that my playmates and friends at school began to dress up as rock and roll (now I am the lead singer of an excellent punk band). At that time, my whole body was full of blood, learning music and taking the road of rock and roll became my dream. Unfortunately, it is not enough to rely on one person's enthusiasm. In the end, I didn't get the support of my family, so my dream was put on hold until I was finally given up.
Since pop music entered China in the early 1980s, the northwest wind that blew in China for a few days has gradually been replaced by the business model of Hong Kong and Taiwan's recording industry, because no matter whether the works are good or bad, as long as they are foreign, they will be accepted by listeners in the vast land of the motherland. Because of the unique cultural baptism before, China people, to be exact, the younger generation of China people, began to be fascinated by these decadent voices.
At this time, with the pace of reform and opening up, a large number of foreign cultures poured into this land, and people began to deeply reflect on their lives, their jobs, and the significance of their existence. A large number of pioneers led the culture of the times. As the most important part of music culture, rock music was naturally regarded by young people at that time as the best way to express their feelings and vent their emotions.
When I was a child, I knew nothing about "Godaigo" and "Wei Meng" abroad. I just saw my brothers who are about ten years older than me. Every day, they carry big dual-card tape recorders and play pop music at that time, and suddenly jump out to sing that Cui Jian has nothing. Children my age looked at them with novel eyes until their parents grabbed their ears and took them home.
In the 1990s, Chinese rock music, which had just reached a higher level, stopped the recording industry from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The representatives of this school are He Jia. They are also the initiators of the most brilliant night of Chinese rock music. Up to now, The Night in Hung Hom, regarded as a classic by fans, has also become a watershed for Chinese rock music to turn around sharply. Nobody can explain why.

Today, the depression of rock music has become the talk of many so-called musicians, and various arguments emerge one after another; But to be honest, it's really chilling. The most obvious examples are Panther and Tang Dynasty, which swept the Chinese world in the early 1990s. Over the years, they have been living on their laurels. It's not that the band wants to eat, but that the organizers ask them to sing some familiar songs, and some sponsors even specify tracks for the participating bands to perform. This dilemma is what they have to face now. In fact, the band members have been seeking changes, but the singing level of new works can not meet the requirements of a new generation of listeners. In the long run, the band will have to live on their laurels. In view of these problems, it is difficult for band members to control such a large domestic music market, because rock music itself is a kind of music with strong criticism, and the impetuous emotional diversity in today's society leads to the survival problem of the band. Many lead singers and musicians are trying to make progress in the music industry. Many band members played full-time in the band from the beginning, and then began to work part-time one after another. Some guitarists offer their own guitar training classes, some musicians play or arrange music for some singers behind the scenes, and many people simply give up this road and start another life. In essence, Chinese rock has never declined, but it lacks an audience. The impact of foreign culture has completely changed people's preferences, and no one wants to listen and experience it.
This is the real dilemma faced by Chinese rock music, and it is useless to escape, so some people break out of the past model. Let me talk about Theory of Three Represents people: Dou Wei, Xu Wei, Wang Feng;
Dou Wei was a leading figure in China's rock circle. At present, there is no band in China that can break the album sales of the Panther period. Dou Wei, who left the band, formed a dream team. With the understanding and pursuit of music, Dou Wei began to pay more attention to the display of personal music ideals. After solo, his albums became more and more inscrutable, which made many fans who loved his music unable to agree. As Dou Wei's playing mentality gradually improved, Dou Wei gave up singing. At present, his music and rock music are not the same thing. Although there are works like The Curse of Gold, rock music may not be equal to Dou Wei's. Today, Dou Wei is still active in the field of music creation, and his film score is unique.
Xu Wei, a rock singer from Ann, has brought a fresh folk style to the music world. His music can heal wounds and let listeners vent their thoughts and emotions. There are some literary works in the vicissitudes of life, which is the reason why Xu Wei can be evergreen on this fertile soil. Xu Wei's works are full of poet's feelings, and Xu Wei's song "Two Days" has also been selected in Selected Contemporary Poetry of China (this book also includes Cui Jian, our father of Chinese rock and roll, who has nothing). Such a unique rock musician is probably rare in the world. Xú Zhēng is still at the forefront of rock and roll, infecting this generation with his works and conveying a belief that rock and roll is not decadent, but also can be literary.
Wang Feng, as the rock musician with the highest exposure in recent ten years, is a well-deserved rock pioneer, regardless of whether he made headlines or not. Although Wang Feng's works are among the best in both singing and album release frequency, he has not yet reached the sentence that "most of rock and roll is online". However, the commercially operated works will lose some thoughts and become saliva songs, but whether right or wrong, Wang Feng has made his rock and roll successful and wonderful, which is worth mentioning.
In fact, there are still many bands sticking to China's rock camp, and they still haven't given up their dreams. Let's look at the words I borrowed:
When Piku Wang grabbed the headlines with "Three Children and Three Mothers", his high-sounding words representing "half of China's rock and roll" were still the object of public spit. How on earth did he make such serious nonsense? If Cui Jian is the "father of rock and roll", it is a perfect interpretation of "getting rich by rock and roll" at most. For the Chinese rock circle, let's not mention Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty, Panther and Magic Rock. In this issue, Bian Xiao will take stock of some truly small and powerful rock circles, and pull out weeds for all "happy" friends! Of course 1000 people need 100 1 kind of rock. If you don't like it, don't shoot it! Twisted Machine's "Twisted Machine" band was founded in 1998. Because of their love for the American band Anger Against the Machine, four members named their band "Twisted Machine" with a hard-core style. Their music has a stronger sense of rhythm. As far as rock music is concerned, the seedling twisting machine is more narrative, describing the thoughts of small people in real life. The listener has a strong sense of substitution! For example, "certificate": "Fuck valid certificate and fuck qualified identity". Do we all have a lot of useless documents? Are we all faced with the problem of how to prove that "my mother is my mother and my son is my son"? Xie Tianxiao's aura on the stage is powerful, and his attraction is amazing, which is in sharp contrast to his unattractive or even too thin image on the stage. Xie Tianxiao on the stage is known as the "king of the scene" and is the rock male god in the hearts of fans; Under the stage, he was teased and Sun Yinghai hit him in the face. Frankly speaking, Xie Tianxiao is not a minority and can definitely be regarded as the "Mr. Six" of Chinese rock. As an important symbol of Chinese rock music culture, his music is thick and restrained, full of profound speculation, threatening but convincing, and his live performance is even more surprising in tension and explosiveness, making him the embodiment of uniqueness, pride, strength and thinking in Chinese rock music. Judging from many songs, the light of human nature has become his eternal theme, and he himself is determined to let more audiences know what real rock is through touring. Buyi Band 1995 was founded in Yinchuan, Ningxia, but as a non-rock lover, his first contact with Buyi Band was the song "I Love Your Dear Girl" in Crazy Stone. But Xiaoji has been circulating the single "Three Peaks" recently: "The wind blows the sail, the boat pushes the shore, the paddle wakes the fish, and the singing makes people drunk." From "Autumn" to "Farewell" to "So Long" and many other songs, Buyi people's open-minded and free-spirited music is as broad as the northwest land where they came from. Mirror Band Mirror Band, also known as Reflector Band, is a famous old punk band in China. He was active in the underground rock circle in 1990s (when Xiaoji just learned to play soy sauce), and his music was fresh, unique and catchy. "If you miss it, you don't have to say anything. If you stay well, don't continue to talk, either love or suffering. " Light music is accompanied by bitter lyrics. Love is something that can disappear in the blink of an eye. Is there a kind of "love comes too fast, like a tornado"? I especially like their interpretation of you. No matter how to explain, how to interpret, how to release, and how to do you, I will leave it to the listener to experience. In the words of netizens, "If you can be a good medicine for your life, then the mirror must be your personal doctor." Low wormwood band Low wormwood band was founded in Lanzhou in 2003. It is one of the pioneer bands of folk rock in China. This area is named low wormwood, which means wormwood born on the back of thorns and growing in a lower place, closer to the land. Their concept of music and their concept of life are interlinked. They want to be real people, make sincere music, be loyal to themselves and music. Absinthe band has a strong musical style, adding a little psychedelic and experimental color to the background color of folk songs. There was a music review in Zhihu: When I saw "waving a broken tambourine, over and over again. For this night, I got rid of the girl's slut, and "do you really have nothing else to write about this big brother?" "From" We can't help kissing each other ",the lyrics have meaning. In Lanzhou, Lanzhou, there is already a vernacular saying "but now I just want to hold your hand and accompany your suffering"; Moreover, the lyrics actually rhyme! Second-hand Rose For many "rock blind" friends, it is the first time to know that second-hand rose may be pancake man. In fact, they used to be the backbone of underground rock in China, an enchanting band with the most national characteristics. Liang Long, the lead singer, often inherits the quintessence of China Quyi performance, taking the "four famous artists" as an example, disguising herself as a man and making up heavily to show her lofty sentiments. In addition, the cross talk and precise smile at the scene made many people exclaim that "China Quyi has finally found the road to modernization". However, it is precisely because of its incompatibility with mainstream rock and roll that this band, born against the bones, has grown obstinately and rapidly in people's strange eyes since its debut. With its novel music style, playful lyrics and bold stage performance, it has quickly been sought after by a large number of "heavy taste" fans. Bigbang, a big band, is now renamed Big Bang. (It's not the big bang next door. ) Big Bang once became an international rock upstart with its hot and fashionable music. Their English lyrics were born to adapt to such a trendy music form, but the rare Chinese songs inadvertently exposed the vitality of this "big stick". The netizen said: "From Bing Xin's observation of the cold and warm reality of people and cities to the psychoanalytic description of love confusion in Love Becomes a Ghost Behind You, the profound and tortuous lyrics have shown a stick's profound skill in mastering the mother tongue. "Just like the editorial sister of the post-70s office resolutely refused to listen to Wang's headline, the small fresh meat after the post-90s next door resolutely refused to listen to the Tang Dynasty band. In his words, "I ate a song for more than ten years. The dream of the Tang Dynasty is different from other works. Except this song, all the songs are in the same style. The new album "May Love Be Carefree" released in February 20 14. Participating in the talent show, the scene was so bad that it was directly smashed by the TV station! "Frankly speaking, he is not a man in black in the Tang Dynasty, but he is worried that he is becoming less and less motivated and more and more watery, claiming to be the first rock band in China at present. Without that Jin Gangzuan, don't take that China job! Saving Chinese rock and roll, no matter how you do it, is very difficult at present. Although many bands have good performance equipment, production teams and relatively professional commercial publicity, it is still difficult to upgrade; Because the times have changed, the impact of various foreign cultures has made the society that needs humanistic spirit begin to fall apart, and the new entertainment consumption culture and music order will still make Chinese rockers feel at a loss. I hope more and more young people like rock music. ...
