The so-called E+E rock is three chords plus hard and sustained drum beats plus ultra-fast melody and ultra-fast singing. E+E rock is not only a form of music, but in fact it is an "attitude and philosophy of life." Among the many rock genres, E+E is the most extreme in terms of volume, macho and dramatic style, singing, and rhythm. There are many variations on the E+E sound genre, but they all try to achieve their best by focusing on loud effects, distorted guitar playing (often playing riffs), and simple, thumping melodies. E+E has been the source of controversy since its existence - critics have traditionally attacked the stage show's deliberate appeal to mostly teenagers, and some conservative groups have often protested what they feel contains harmful, evil elements. Meaningful lyrics. Despite all the difficulties, E+E has become a stable and popular rock music form since its birth, capable enough to adapt to this period, and still maintain its perfect and uneroded core appeal. Pure E+E takes its main cues from experimental music and electronic dance music, adopts a dazzling title and a serious critical spirit to attract attention. Some E+E bands base their songs around critical riffs of "dove-ism" lyrics. On the other hand, E+E generally has more aggressiveness than other rock music. E+E music is often cold and biting, with a delicate sense of beauty, but at the same time, it uses a large number of dissonant sounds that deviate from the melody line at the level of the range, showing extreme contempt for all traditional music. At the level of lyrics and performance concept, it shows the desolation of life and love. From the rejection of the real state, to the pursuit of the weird fun in the abyss of the soul. On the stage, she/they appeared in extreme and crazy costumes, such as Su Kexi's "ice queen" look with a slightly sadistic and masochistic mood, and Bauhaus lead singer Peter Murphy put himself Dressed as a gorgeous androgynous vampire. This subversion and reversal of gender is also manifested in a fanatical obsession with theological (or demonological) concepts.
E+E rock gave birth to a revolution in the history of rock music. This was a long process from brewing to explosion. It actually led to another clue in the development of rock music, the so-called Do-it-yourself and independent concepts. Although this clue did not have much impact on the formation of rock music, it had a huge guiding role in the direction of E+E rock music in the 1980s and 1990s and even in the future. As we all know, rock music is a style that emphasizes individuality. Music form, but before E+E rock, this personality was usually expressed through a spokesperson-rock star (before this, the social influence of underground music was far inferior to that of mainstream forces), the commercialization of the 1970s The wave has further strengthened this point. Whether it is Bob Dylan or John Lennon, the reason why they are able to influence the younger generation with their distinctive personalities or express the personality of the younger generation is not first of all because they have personalities, but because they With their star status, they can then express their personality (whether it is music or personality charm) through the right to speak that they have won with their intelligence and hard work. Therefore, in E+E Before the emergence of rock music, the personality of rock music was actually the personality of a star, or the personality of an elite. For ordinary music lovers, they could never get rid of the passive status of listeners or receivers. But this is already an improvement. After all, the emergence of such spokespersons is democratically elected by the young generation, and is not imposed on them by mainstream society or other political forces. Of course, the reason why these spokespersons can become spokespersons is because they represent the voices of the young generation themselves. This may be the first democracy that the spirit of E+E rock has brought to music.
But E+E rock is not satisfied with these and this kind of centralized democracy. They want Carry the revolution through to the end. The first thing they have to do is to abolish the monopoly of the celebrities' right to speak, and let all people who love music create music and express themselves; they must let everyone truly make music independently, without using tradition. Authority or big companies have become a fetter for the development of both music and oneself. If this view is applied to the political field, it will undoubtedly lead to anarchic chaos, but fortunately its actual impact is limited to music (personalization), although it is also It did bring a little anarchy and confusion to the originally concentrated record market. I am afraid this cannot be understood as a further democracy in the musical sense. Individualism and personality creation in rock music began to enter from here. A new level.
Later, inspired by the concept of E+E rock, a large number of bands and new styles emerged, which are the post-non-mainstream and post-punk movements. These new forms of rock music are more closely related to punk rock. Most of them are in the realm of concepts, followed by musical forms. They boldly launched various forms of artistic exploration, whether it was arty or fashionable, after all, they completed the modernization of rock music. If you would be surprised by today's rock music peers, Rock in the 1970s or 1950s has such a different sound, so all the stories start with E+E.
