Four months later in 2018, I started using a new music player and listened to songs a total of 525 times. On the way to and from get off work, music relieved a lot of time when I couldn’t watch or browse and didn’t want to be sluggish. Sometimes What attracts me more than the songs are the comments below. How many talented people have listened to a thousand songs to tell a thousand stories about themselves, and then use silent words and songs to cheer up their hearts with playful smiles or affectionate expressions. .

Sometimes I read reviews because I don’t understand how good a song is. I am paranoid by nature, or I am brainwashed by the so-called “popular culture” - “This is obviously a favorite of everyone” It must be my problem if it’s at the top of the song list.” We always ask others to give us an answer on the way forward, but we forget that many times when you just want a suggestion, you are asking others to make a choice for you. Actually, there is a better way.

Understand the basic style of the song, just like watching "This Is Hip-Hop", understand the main differences between breaking, locking and popping in hiphop, then when we identify beauty, we can start from a basic perspective Come to the point and have some thoughts of your own.

Douyin is particularly popular this year, reaching a situation of even division between Douyin in the south and Kuaishou in the north. As a music short video community, Douyin's music style is the same as that of Xiami Music Player. It is roughly divided according to user preferences and usage scenarios, rather than strictly according to the professional division of music style.

I believe that there are not many people who click on "Popular" on Douyin column to create soundtracks, and there are also many people who click on the popular list on Xiami to listen to songs. Many times the music in our minds is not just "popular vs. classic old songs", Is there such a division as "Mandarin VS Cantonese VS Japanese and Korean VS European and American"?

As a good girl who loves (ai) points (zhuang) enjoyment (bi), and loves (tui) life (wu) life (liao), I plan to tease these cool-looking girls with everyone. A cool, aloof music style that makes people confused.

Where China’s hip hop culture will go, no one can say for sure.
