Whether it's true or not, I like rock music for some years, from being exposed to such music by ignorant teenagers to buying two boxes of rock album tapes (1 yuan a box) with a monthly allowance of only 3 yuan after serving in the army. Even if I don't know anything about the categories of rock music, some works sound unpleasant, but I still have no desire to buy rock works. I have only one belief and support Chinese rock music.

After I was demobilized, I saw my childhood playmates and friends at school have started to dress up in a rock-and-roll way (now I am the lead singer of an excellent punk band). At that time, my blood filled my body, and learning music and taking the road of rock and roll became my dream. It's a pity that it's not enough to rely on one's enthusiasm. In the end, I didn't get the support of my family, and my dream was put on hold until I was finally given up.

Since pop music entered China in the early 198s, the northwest wind that has been blowing in China for some days has been gradually 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 the audience on the vast motherland. Because of the unique cultural baptism before, China people, to be precise, the younger generation of China people began to be fascinated by these decadent sounds.

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, and a large number of pioneers led the culture of the times. As the most important part of music culture, rock music was naturally regarded as the best way for young people at that time to express their feelings and vent their emotions.

As a kid, I didn't know anything about "Godaigo" and "Wei Meng" from abroad. I just saw my brothers who were about ten years older than me, playing the pop music at that time with big double-card recorders every day, jumping out of the blue and singing that Cui Jian had nothing. Children my age watched them with novel eyes until their parents grabbed their ears and took them home.

In the 199s, Chinese rock music, which had just taken a step, caused the recording industry from Hong Kong and Taiwan to stop. The representatives of this group were Zhang Peiren and Jia Minshu. They are also the initiators of the most brilliant night of Chinese rock music. So far, the night of Hung Hom, which has been regarded as a classic by fans, has also become a watershed for Chinese rock music to turn around and turn sharply. No one can explain why.

Today, the listlessness 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 example is the Panther and the Tang Dynasty, which were popular in the Chinese world in the early 199s. These years, they have been living on their laurels. It's not that the bands themselves are willing to eat, but that the organizers of the event ask them to sing some well-known songs, and some funders even specify tracks for the participating bands to perform. This dilemma is something that they have to face now. In fact, the members of the band have been seeking changes, but the singing level of new works is simply not up to 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 current problems, it is difficult for band members to control such a large domestic music market, because rock music itself is a music type with a strong critical color, and the impetuous emotional diversity in today's society has led to the band's survival problem. Many lead singers and musicians are struggling to advance in the music world. Many band members have been full-time in the band's performance from the beginning, and then started part-time jobs one after another. Some guitarists set up 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 and roll has never declined, but it lacks the 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. It is useless to escape, so some people break out of the past model. Let me talk about three representative figures: Dou Wei, Xu Wei and Wang Feng;

Dou Wei was the leading figure in Chinese rock circle in those years. At present, there is no domestic band to break the album sales during the Panther period. Dou Wei, who left the band, formed the Dream Band. With the understanding and pursuit of music, Dou Wei began to pay more attention to the display of his personal music ideals. After solo, his albums became more and more enigmatic, which made many fans who loved his music unable to agree. With Dou Wei's playing mentality getting better and better, Dou Wei gave up singing, and now his music and rock music are actually not the same thing. Although there are works like the curse of gold, rock music may not be the equivalent formula with Dou Wei. Today, Dou Wei is still active in the field of music creation, and the film soundtrack has unique skills.

Xu Wei, a rocker from Xi' an, brings a fresh folk song style to the music world. His music can heal the wounds and let the listeners empty their minds and release their emotions. There are some literary works in the vicissitudes of life, which is the reason why Xu Wei can remain evergreen in this fertile land. Xu Wei's works are full of poet's feelings, and Xu Wei's song "Two Days" has also been selected in Selected Works of Contemporary Poetry in China (also included in this book is Cui Jian, our father of Chinese rock and roll, who has nothing). Such a unique rock musician is probably rare in the world. Xu Wei is still at the forefront of rock and roll, infecting people of this generation with his works, and conveying a belief that rock and roll is not decadent, but can also be literary and artistic.

Wang Feng, as the rock musician with the highest exposure in recent ten years, is a well-deserved rock pioneer with or without him in the headlines. Although he hasn't reached the phrase that "most of the rock is in the country", Wang Feng's works are among the best in terms of singing degree and the frequency of album release, but the works that come out of commercial operation will lose some thoughts and become saliva songs, but whether right or wrong, Wang Feng makes his rock music succeed and survive wonderfully, so.

In fact, there are still many bands that stick to China's rock camp, and they still haven't given up their dreams. Let's take a look at the words I borrowed: When Piku Wang grabbed the headlines with "three children's papers and three mothers", his bold words representing "half of China's rock and roll" were still the object of public spit. How on earth did he make such a serious nonsense? If Cui Jian is the "father of rock and roll", at most, he perfectly interprets "getting rich by rock and roll". For the Chinese rock circle, let's not mention the hall-level players such as Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty, Panther and Magic Rock for the time being. In this issue, Xiaobian should take stock of some "half of the country" of the rock circle with real minority and strength, and by the way, pull out the grass for all the "happy" friends! Of course, 11 kinds of rock and roll are needed for 1 people. Don't shoot if you don't like it! Twisted Machine's "Twisted Machine" band was founded in 1998. Because of their love for the American band RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, four members named their band "Twisted Machine", with a HARDCORE style. Their music has a stronger sense of rhythm. As far as rock music is concerned, the twisting machine is more narrative, describing the ideas of little people in real life. The listener has a strong sense of substitution! For example, "Certificates": "Fuck valid certificates and fuck qualified identities". Do we all have a lot of useless documents? Are we all more or less 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 appeal is amazing, which is in sharp contrast to his unattractive and even excessively thin image off 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 Haiying hit his 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 persuasive, and his live performance is even more surprising in tension and explosiveness, which makes 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 was founded in Yinchuan, Ningxia in 1995, but as a non-rock enthusiast, his first contact with Buyi Band was the song "I Love Your Dear Girl" in Crazy Stone. But Xiao Ji has been circulating the single "Three Peaks" recently: "The wind blows the sail, the boat pushes the shore, the oars wake up the fish, and the singing makes people drunk." From Autumn to Parting, to So Long, and many other songs, the open-minded and free-spirited music of Buyi is as vast and broad as the northwest land where they come from. Mirror Band Mirror Band, also known as Reflector Band, is a famous old punk band in China. In the 199s, he was active in underground rock circles (Xiaoji just learned to play soy sauce at that time), and his music was fresh, chic and catchy. "If you miss it, you don't have to say anything more. If what you leave is not bad, don't continue to talk, either love or bitterness." Light music is accompanied by bitter lyrics. Love is something that can disappear in a 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, interpret, release and be you, I leave it to the listeners to experience. In the words of netizens, "If Interpretation of You can be a good medicine in your life, the mirror must be your personal doctor." Low wormwood band Low wormwood band was founded in Lanzhou in 23. It is one of the pioneering bands of China folk rock. The band is named Low wormwood, which means wormwood born on the back of thorns, growing in the lower place and closer to the land. Their musical ideas are interlinked with their life ideas. They should be real people, make sincere music, be loyal to themselves and music. Absinthe band has a strong music 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 there was "Do you really have no other words to write about this big brother?" From "We can't help kissing each other", the lyrics begin to make sense. By Lanzhou Lanzhou, there is already such a vernacular as "But now I just want to hold your hands and be with your suffering"; Besides, the lyrics actually have rhyme! Second-hand Roses For many "rock-blind" friends, it is the first time to learn that second-hand roses may be Pancake Man. In fact, they were once the backbone representatives of China underground rock and roll, and they were a band with enchanting and most national characteristics. Liang Long, the lead singer, often inherits the quintessence of China Quyi's performance, taking the "four famous artists" as an example, disguised as women, made up heavily, and displayed lofty sentiments. In addition, the on-site cross-talk and accurate smile made many people exclaim that "China Quyi has finally found the road to modernization". However, it is because of its incompatibility with mainstream rock & roll that this band, which is born against the bones, has been growing obstinately and rapidly in people's strange eyes since its debut. With its novel music style, playful lyrics and bold stage expression, it has been quickly sought after by a large number of "heavy-flavored" fans. The bigbang, a big band, is now renamed as Big Bang. (It's not Big Bang next door.) Big Bang once became an international rock upstart with its hot and stylish music. Their English lyrics were born to adapt to such a trendy music form, while the rare Chinese songs inadvertently exposed the vital strength of this "big stick". The netizen said: "From the observation of the cold and warm reality of people and the city in Bing Xin to the psychoanalytic description of the confusion of love in Love Becomes a Ghost Behind You, the profound and tortuous lyrics have already shown the profound skill of mastering the mother tongue with a stick." Just as the editor's sister in the post-197s office resolutely refused to listen to Wang's headlines, Xiao Xianrou in the post-199s next door resolutely refused to listen to the band of the Tang Dynasty. In his words, "I have been eating a song for more than ten years, and 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 December 214 was rated as the worst album of rock and roll in the past 2 years by many music critics. Participating in the talent show, the scene was too bad and was directly smashed by the TV station! " Frankly speaking, he is not a black man in the Tang Dynasty, but he is worried that he is getting less and less motivated, making more and more water, and claiming to be the first rock band in China at present. Without that Jin Gangzuan, don't take that porcelain job!

No matter how to save Chinese rock, 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 improve; 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 love rock music ...
