Personally, I don’t think that kind of clothing specifically refers to rock and roll. Some people wear leather jackets and leather pants to rock and roll, while others wear T-shirts and jeans to rock and roll. In fact, as long as you have rock and roll in your heart and have dreams in your heart, just like Dapeng’s Sewing Machine Band. Whatever you wear is cool. ?
The main theme and enthusiasm of the Chinese people have begun to fade, and utilitarian and practical concepts have increasingly become the dominant consciousness of the people. At the same time, the original ideals of music singers and musicians, who were looked down upon in a different way, have basically lost their social foundation and cultural effect. The original social roles and artistic stances of rock musicians have been transformed. Some people consciously integrate into life, while others People enter the market operation, and humanistic rock music, as a "third underground role", is even suppressed as unconscious. Such a state not only serves as a background, but also seems to have become a "force" that directly controls, affects, and affects Chinese music culture in the 21st century, leaving a distinct "temporality" for Chinese music culture in this period. imprint. As a historical witness, the cultural industry's unique advantages will receive a "true" record in these rock texts, and they will inevitably assume the task and status of the leader. There have always been many definitions and origins of music. The origin of music in human society can be traced back to the very ancient prehistoric times. Before humans had language, they already knew how to use the pitch, strength, etc. of sounds to express their thoughts and feelings. With the development of human labor, chants to unify the rhythm of labor and shouts to convey information to each other gradually emerged. This is the most primitive prototype of music. When people celebrate harvests and share the fruits of labor, they often beat stone and wooden tools to express their feelings. Joy, joy, this is the prototype of the original musical instrument. It can be said that the working life of human beings in the primitive era developed and developed in the company of music, and the two are closely linked. In this sense, music is produced directly from human labor life. There are different theories on the origin, such as sex theory, imitation theory, labor theory, etc. Here we only adopt the definition of Chinese musicologist Liu Lan: music originated from the theory of Taiyi. ?
Music is a performing art that requires playing and singing to create artistic effects that can be perceived by people. There are many classifications of music, such as: music types are divided into Latin music, rap music, classical music, pop music, MV karaoke, film and television music, children's music, animation music, light music, rock music, ethnic music, folk music, religious music , festival music, revolutionary music, and game music that have appeared in recent years, etc. In other words, music is a symbol system of human beings. Human beings express the meaning of life through the symbol system they create. Music culture is a historical concept, and each nation and its specific historical period have its own unique state of expression. The music culture of a certain period should be a combination that accommodates multiple levels and forms complex relationships with each other (not necessarily a unified whole). As far as the current situation in China is concerned, this combination of music and culture that accommodates diversity often has several levels or forms (Note: In the past, I once subjectively divided music culture into mainstream culture, elite culture and mass culture) There are three types, but later I realized through studying at university that there are many things in the world that cannot be simply classified): dominant music culture, elegant music culture, popular music culture, and spiritual music culture. From the perspective of cultural value, there is no distinction between high and low among these levels. The key depends on the specific style of the work itself. Good or bad work is possible at every level, whether it is dominant culture or high culture, or material or spiritual. Since this article is analyzing humanistic rock music, it will not be discussed in detail here. Let’s take pop music as an example to talk about the current development status of Chinese music. Looking at the current development of popular music, there is a sadness that it is nowhere popular. Let’s take a look at the current situation of Chinese rock music. But now rock music (actually there are many things) has changed. There may be a different sadness, and there may be a mystery of exploration that will never be solved. In the past 20 years, apart from some famous overseas singers who can occasionally cause sensation and popularity, how many people have listened to the live performances of mainland singers? How many people are still interested in holding a concert like that? Musician Xu Xiaofeng said in a recent interview: "Last year, the national live performance revenue was only about 100 million yuan. This shows that Chinese pop music has become a 'lame' walking on only one leg of the record company.

“My feet are on the earth and my head is on the sun. I pretend that I am alone in this world. I close my eyes tightly and lean against the wall. I pretend that there is no head on my shoulders. , I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to exist, I don’t want to live too real, I want to leave, I want to exist, I want to die and start all over again...” These are the lyrics of Cui Jian’s new song “Start Over Again”. However, how can Chinese pop music start over from scratch before the originality is exhausted, the singers are declining, and the market is shrinking? Rock and roll is already a special cultural symbol in China?
No matter what you wear, As long as you have a dream in your heart and you love it, there will be no boundaries. It can be literary rock, violent rock, or poetic rock. No matter what you wear, how much your clothes cost, even if you are a beggar and your clothes are ragged. Same thing.
