In this busy university course, I was lucky enough to sign up for the elective course "Music Appreciation". In particular, it is a great honor to listen to Teacher Yao Nan's Music Appreciation. I really feel lucky to have this opportunity. I used to listen to music just to appreciate the melody and rhythm of musical instruments. I didn't know that there were plots and touching stories in the original music. After listening to the teacher's lecture, I realized that listening to a piece of music has so much knowledge. After several classes, I feel that listening to music now is completely different from before. I feel that I am a music major and my appreciation ability is higher than ordinary people.
Love music, in fact, this is the universality of human beings, people have a * * * voice because of music. I've been thinking, who invented this wonderful music? Who played the first note? He is the greatest inventor. Whenever and wherever you are, whether you are white or black, as long as you know music, the world belongs to you. Of course, I am also a member of the Philharmonic Orchestra. Just like the Vitas Star played by our teacher, I believe everyone will like it. This is the charm of music. Music knows no borders.
I'm more interested in music videos. I think music without emotion is just a painless moan. As we all know, Beethoven's Moonlight is a sentimental song dedicated to blind girls. Because of my limited ability, I can't watch music alone. But since the teacher put on a music video about heavy metals, I have become more and more interested in rock and roll, which is the expression of people's true feelings. So through my understanding of rock music in this period, I will analyze the rock music in China at present.
In the eyes of most people, the word rock seems to be synonymous with vulgarity and erosion. Among the mainstream people in China today, rock and roll is an alternative and an underground group equivalent to the "Beat Generation" in 1950s and 1960s. However, since the early 1980s, Chinese rock has experienced a process from heat wave to trough and finally to calm. The uniqueness of these rock artists' artistic attitude and spiritual position runs through their lives. In a sense, the artistic value and spiritual value contained in this uniqueness are enough to rise to a philosophical height.
Rock is a special cultural symbol in China. The uniqueness of rock and roll lies in its own expansion and puffiness. It always exists in the world with a tall, broad, dazzling but merciful attitude. This kind of music cultural form, which has been blown to the skies, far exceeds its own content and connotation. The uniqueness of rock and roll in China lies in that it is regarded as a means, a platform for appeal and a religious activity under social alienation. No matter in which country, rock and roll has never experienced a miracle like China. This miracle, endowed with a kind of faith, has been injected with a kind of earnest thought, and has become the banner of some non-mainstream people in society, burning the pulse of this era. I poured out a lot of complicated feelings, the sufferings of marginal groups, the oppression and desire of human nature, and the hardships and doubts in the process of anti-system.
In this environment, Chinese rock seems to be no longer a form of music, but an angry face, and music seems to be a by-product, displayed in a cavity of anger. In the eyes of most music critics in China, when rock and roll simply becomes a carrier, its social function has been virtually exaggerated. Punk is surging, adding fuel to the fire, which has set off a big debate in Chinese rock circle whether thought decides art or art decides thought.
When a person takes music seriously, he encounters not only the general dilemma of contemporary art, but also the special dilemma of the music he supports. Faced with a strong tradition, all kinds of unconventional contemporary art often struggle in vain within the scope of tradition. Artists who are fortunate enough to make real innovations have a more arduous journey, and the result is often that they have to repeat the same mistakes or simply give up themselves and compromise with the decadent charm of society. At this point, rock and roll is the best example.
An excellent rocker is first of all a person who has a unique understanding of life, and it is this innate uniqueness that makes him possible to be extraordinary in art, so in front of every rocker who has personality and is unwilling to give up his independent personality, the road must be tortuous, and whether the future is bright or not is completely unknown. This may require rockers to seek individuality in independence and support in non-mainstream, so that obscure rock music can become a weapon to purify the soul of philosophy and music in a real sense. Development is inevitable. If it doesn't break out in development, it will perish in development. This is a process that everyone who insists on his own rock belief must go through-seeking development in independence.
How to treat the position and function of art in social existence? Historically, most rulers only regard art as an entertainment tool, or use it as a megaphone to convey the idea of self-rule, and some people define it as a sensual dish to meet the taste needs of many people. In fact, art has not only the entertainment function and the direct reflection to the outside world, but also the great power to spread ideas, emancipate the mind and promote social change and progress. Of course, many people actually know this well, so in reality, they often drive dissidents out of sight out of fear to avoid challenges and opposing forces. However, there is one thing that some people probably haven't fully understood, and that is: only when there is contradiction can there be movement and only when there is movement can there be development. Losing the opposite means the decline of everything.
Decades ago, when the Rolling Stones and The Beatles stood out, it was the time of world political and economic turmoil. People need a voice to speak for the public and vent their emotions, so they find the meaning of life and music. Decades later, China's rock band found the focus of this material city. People need a sober voice to crush the so-called idols, so they also find the meaning of their life and music. Regardless of the authenticity and reliability of these meanings for the time being. As a rock artist, finding a way that suits you in life and listening to the cry of your inner life-not only rock music, but also any art form-is the reason for the existence of music and the persistence of life. "When one day we eliminate all illusions and conjectures, we are close to the essence and enlightened. The ideal state of rock music is a dream, not a myth. "
Rock music is not pure, because "rock" itself represents the spirit of "joy and anger" in terms of its etymology, and initially represents things like rebellion and destruction; Rock music profoundly reveals and will forever reveal life with its unique musical form.
So, I have some expectations. I believe that China's rock concerts have their own characteristics.
