Pu Shu’s appreciation of Penicillin and Click#15 lies in three words, “not the same”. He is a person who can understand. He knows what kind of music young people need 30 years ago, and today The young people need what kind of music, and only the young people today can find their own rock music, and the band can really welcome the summer.
“Summer’s Summer” finals, Song Jie’s melodious and soothing guitar prelude, accompanied by Gao Hu’s crisp whistle, a song that makes fans familiar and unfamiliar come out.
This is a repertoire of the band’s major music festivals. It’s also a case of a song that doesn’t sing in the final of the Lexia Summer. But unlike the previous instigations, this time the arrangement is much more. Some other tastes, Gao Hu sat down at the edge of the stage, his voice was soft, his eyes were deep, like a sad poet.

Still from time to time
Come to a few big choruses,
“Everyone is crazy, this is the pain, it is the purest one.”
“The music critic Ding Taisheng is very emotional
.
Beyond the familiar side of the story, it seems that there are more different things, whether it is from the arrangement of “Song of the Road”, or the “I am willing” and the original “Fantastic” adapted from the first two stages. Summer, it gives people a very warm and relaxed feeling. Another feeling is that Gao Hu doesn’t love people so much, and becomes a bit more approachable.
In the eyes of many people, this is not “painful”.
Regardless of the musical expression or the style of the work, it can be seen that they are trying to adapt to this form of public-oriented, after all, they are carrying the “mission” of rock music.
but
There are also bands that have always insisted on their own way. The singer of Bonnie Silin is still very cool and very rocker. After suffering a lot of criticisms, he doesn’t care much about the outside world and puts “I am like this”.
Xiaole insists on self, and the face band insists on music style. Even if this kind of traditional rock is a bit old-fashioned, it is difficult to keep up with the times. The face still wants to prove a little on the stage of Lexia, the rock music of their time. There are still people who insist on it, but also want to prove that rock music is not affected by age.

is changing and not changing, it is easy to cause controversy in the summer of the bandBefore, the rock circle was in a closed underground state for a long time. It belonged to a niche culture. There was a huge cognitive bias outside the circle. At the beginning of the music summer, the rock fundamentalists were scornful, and the fans of the participating bands turned into Amway. Those who don’t understand rock and roll are very disgusted with those who are self-proclaimed rock and roll, insisting that this is “Summer’s Summer” rather than “Rock Summer”.
This variety show carries too much,
The idealist recalls the golden age, the rock musician wants to change the expectation of survival, the contradiction between rock music self-expression and the commercial market, the disconnect between the music selection of the band members and the choice of life, the opposition between the minority aesthetic and the public aesthetic,
There are stories everywhere, people can’t write them, they can’t finish them.
Just yesterday, this summer dream ended in the form of a music party, and the ranking of Hot 5 was officially announced. Unsurprisingly, the new pants and the painful top two, Hedgehog and Click#15 are also expected. Only Penicillin is slightly controversial, and many people feel sorry for Jiu Lianzhen.
New trousers and the sorrowful status of the rivers and lakes are there. This position is not judged by the artistic level, but by the qualifications and the volume of the circle. In other words, the new pants and the painfulness are the current rock business model. The two most mature bands, signed by the label, are the finalists of the festival, and the recognized Rock stars in the circle.
In contrast, the success of Hedgehog, Click#15 and Penicillin has more meaning and value. Hedgehog has made the old band in distress see hope, and Click#15 and Penicillin represent a variety of musical styles and rock new forces. Park Tree, who was rushing home to sleep, did not forget to express his love and encouragement to the two bands before he left.
“I think they are what young people should look like. They let me see music that is different from me. I look too serious. Music should be the instinctive side, the original side. I am happy for everyone, I am waiting for this summer.”
Pu Shu, who has always been ignorant, has said a few more unexpectedly.
This summer, is it really summer, who is the summer, since the summer broadcast, this kind of question has been discussed continuously, as a burst of variety show, after drying, what can be left behind?
If you know Park Shu, you can see some clues.
When it comes to rock, the first word that comes to mind is anger, the second is rebellion, belongs to Chinese rock, is the golden eighty and nineties, the golden age belongs to Zhang Chu, He Yong, Dou Wei, Zheng Yi, Xu Wei, Cui Jian, also Belong to the tree.

In 1985, the British WITTMANN band held a concert in Beijing. Dou Wei, who sat down on the stage, seemed to open the door to the new world. Bai Yansong, who was sitting on the other side, was also deeply shocked. One year later, Cui Jian was working. The body sings, “Nothing”, opens the era of Chinese rock music.
Twenty years later, when Bai Yansong sat in the guest seat of the Lexia Finals, he called himself a “part-time commentary, a lifelong fan”, and put himself on the bigger ones with Cui Jian, the Tang Dynasty, and the Panthers. From a perspective, Bai Yansong is only a microcosm of the generation that loved rock.
Born in the 1960s, they were educated in the 1980s. They experienced absurdity and first felt the enlightenment. They were bathed by the spring breeze of reform and opening up. They have seen a lot of Western culture and reflected on themselves. Before the advent of the commercialization in the 1990s,
Avant-garde literature, poetry, rock music,
It is the spiritual food of this generation of young people, and they are the weapons that challenge the old world as a new force.
Rock music is serious at the moment, but in that era it is a kind of disintegration of tradition, with the attitude of entertainment to counter the secular binding, the cry of freedom, the pursuit of individuality, the alienation of the mainstream, every generation Young people will go through such a process. Thirty years ago, they were rock music and pioneer literature. Today is a small sub-culture. It is just that the times are different, and the ways and means have changed.
For the young people of the 1980s and 1990s, the newly opened cultural environment, the relatively occluded information channels, and the rapid social transformation made them only have limited spiritual weapons. At that time, poets and musicians were top-level traffic. Stars, they lead the enlightenment, and are regarded as idols. Their works are a panacea for solving the confusion of the times.
In December 1994, in the “Summer of the Band”, the red songs that were mentioned numerous times, Dou Wei, He Yong and the Tang Dynasty staged. The rock power from the mainland shocked Hong Kong. This challenge to the mainstream culture was great. Victory, rock music proved himself.
But then, Zhang Ju accident, the magic rock Sanjie left for some reason, the business tide surged, people began to care about how to make money, the mainstream culture is not to be seen, rock and roll is hidden in the ground.
Since the introduction of rock music into China, it has brought a lot of labels, some from the source, some are posted in the unique social environment of China, anti-commercial, anti-industrial, anti-authority, counter-mainstream, anger, Oh,
Rock is regarded as a means and appeal, and even becomes a kind of “belief” and becomes a banner.
Today, rock is more like a kind of thing in some cases.
Formalism
For anger and anger, to resist against, to rock and rock, for the sake of embarrassment, some young people advertise themselves by chasing the trend of rock, or use the rock spirit as an excuse to escape life.
This is nothing but another warrior fighting dragon, and finally he became the story of the dragon.
Park Tree’s appreciation of Penicillin and Click#15 lies in three words.
“Not the same”
He is a person who can understand. He knows what kind of music young people need 30 years ago, and what kind of music do young people need today. Only today’s young people can find their own rock music. Come to summer.
So the real value of “The Summer of the Band” is that it allows us to see more music possibilities, so that people who love music know more about what kind of music they like, and plant a seed for the richer and more diverse music market in the future. To nurture a sign, only the day when the seed grows into a big tree, the band can get a guarantee of life that can support their creation.

For the band, different music choices are a way for them to talk to the world and their own lives. Mr. Turtle uses a relaxed and happy mediation, Hedgehog looks for hope in despair, Click#15 takes the music itself as a Kind of enjoyment, tenderness is gentle and tenacious.
Diversity, this is a problem close to the essence of rock music,
It is built on the true self of each musician. It is a kind of “willfulness” expression. In this expression, the creation of the band can be stimulated to the greatest extent. It is not limited to routines, not in style, and makes good music.
But forever wrapped in the wall of the “self”, it is easy to stagnate, “The Summer of the Band” brought these bands to a public field, if you can achieve a better self-expression and public acceptance Balance, let the band and the general audience try to understand each other, both sides are good.
Peng Lei had a monologue before the finals, “There is no ideal person who is not sad.”
We used to be very rebellious, that is to be different; we used to write songs for ourselves, until the last few years, in order to move on, I began to notice that music needs to be understood by more people. Only when it is heard by more people, will everyone have a chance to know whether the music of this band is good or not.
For the 31 bands, “The Summer of the Band” is just a starting point for the public. As Bai Yansong said, you will feel that this is a nostalgic show at the beginning of the show. At the end, it may be a program related to tomorrow.
This tomorrow, there is no way to make the rock revival, not to go back to the golden age, but there may be bands and music that are in our time.
