After a while, I packed up Weibo and deleted a lot of attention, some of which were accounts of domestic rock bands, such as low-lying worms, wild children, tongue bands, new pants…I don’t think they really like them.

I can’t remember when I suddenly noticed so many bands on Weibo. I guess I just knew that some things about rock and roll are smug and I feel like I can be called a fan. However, after a long time, I found out that for rock, I know very little.

Knowing that rock is because of Cui Jian, this is not unexpected. Many people know that rock or rock is all because of him. Later, I learned “No Land” and “Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty”, but still feel that rock is just a bunch of noise. Whether it is Cui Jian, the Panther or the Tang Dynasty, it is all about trying to catch up with the trend. As for the charm of rock, who cares?

The surface is calm, the heart is already wild

After graduating from college, I found a super job. In that small company, I am a cashier, an executive, a librarian, and a cleaning agent. Most of the workplaces are in a renovated hotel, and the site filled with reinforced concrete is my “office” and my hell. Wet, cold, and the vulgar jokes of the workers, and my fear as the only woman. The salary of 800 yuan per month is the only reason that supports me to stick to it.

The renovation site of the year is almost the same effect

At that time, I happened to hear “Numb” from Lincoln Park. It is not noise, but a shock. Later, I went to the audio-visual store and bought a “Meteora”. I took my CD player every day and hid in any place on the construction site that I could avoid. I couldn’t hear it when I heard the disc. Lincoln Park is the beginning of my love for rock.

After listening to Lincoln Park, I felt that some very awkward factors in the blood were awakened: “Faint” “Breaking The Habit”… those shouts from the chest made me feelIndulgent. When I listened, my expression was calm, my face was not sad or happy, but only I knew that the swaying heart had already gone back and forth with Beninton on the stage.

I envy people who are free and easy, especially those who never hide themselves in front of life. Many movies or TV shows have that kind of character, listening to the special songs, and then holding the mop to sing. When I saw them, I would follow everyone as a joke, but in fact my thief was envious. How can it be so happy? Regardless of the eyes of others, just let yourself perform alone. If I put it on me, even if the mop is tied to me, I don’t have that courage.

Lincoln Park’s CD was not bad for me. I found a job I liked at the advertising company. No one else likes rock and roll, so I spent a few years with Jay Chou and Stefanie. year. In the middle, I have occasionally heard the songs of the scorpion band, as well as the guns and roses, but the truth is still not like the favorite, and I gave up after listening to some of them.

Retrieve the most familiar clips

Until one day, I accidentally heard the gun and the rose band’s Don’t cry again. This song doesn’t remember how long I’ve heard it before. Maybe it was because of the weather or my mood at that time, maybe it was already arranged. In short, I listened especially quietly, and there was an unspeakable sadness in my heart. Then I started listening to other songs of the gun and the rose. I remembered when I listened to Lincoln Park, I remembered the long or short days that rock had been with me.

A messy office, but with a guitar sound

One evening in 2014, I heard the guitar sound of my colleague in the office, playing “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” and I sat quietly listening to the chair next to him. In the evening of the late summer, the sun just went down, there was a late breeze blowing in, and it’s a turn.Walked with notes. I looked at the picks in the hands of the Chaos and swept the strings, thinking back to the most familiar paragraph, where I had heard it.

Later, the pilgrimage introduced me to many bands, scorpions, gates, police… He liked some bands that were very top and out of reach in my opinion.

Maybe because I am wandering outside this circle, or because my English is too bad, these styles of the 1960s and 1970s are always the type I can’t come from. I talked to him about the gun and the rose band. He looked disdainful. I told him about Lincoln Park. He ended the topic directly with “superficial pop rock.”

Author’s work recommendation:

It was still young at the time, used to be a hero on the face value

In 2014, I started the journey of brushing songs. At first, it was the live video of the old band in the Hajj hard disk. It is said that some of them are out of print and it is difficult to find them online.

This precious learning material piled up in front of me, let me re-experience the pressure before the college entrance examination. The pilgrimage pointed to a scene of the scorpion and told me how it was unprecedented, and there was an excitement on the face. Therefore, my sentence “German is sung in German or English” has never dared to ask for an exit, lest he give me a gesture that is not very good. Later, I found that I really couldn’t convert the likes of Hajj to what I liked.

Real is the beginning of my favorite rock and roll

I started to listen to the song according to my own preferences.

Rock for me, the biggest charm is the entanglement between the guitar and the bass, the rhythm of the drums, the emotional expression of the lead singer, and the touching part of the chorus. When I think rock is deep, it immediately shines out of me.shallow. When I am addicted to a certain whistling, I will feel it is as simple as a insect break during a lunch break, or a lonely karaoke when the bicycle is on the road. It sounds so natural, true, unadorned. .

In that year, I did something that I thought was rock and roll

I have tried to listen to the band in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I always think that this is only a qualified fan, but in the end there is no way to pretend that I am a person with deep interest in rock. I still have to admit that not every band I like, not all things about rock and roll I want to know. What I like, is a song itself, it is the mood of the time, or just a piece of bass that brings me the ultimate comfort.

Under the chance, I heard the song of the tongue band, “Mom, fly together, mom, rock up.” When I first heard it, I was a little bit in tears. I began to re-enter Cui Jian’s band in that era and later, and then tried to re-recognize the domestic bands and singers.

One day, I saw a person on TV, He Yong, one of the “Magic Rocks”. His “beautiful girl” made me most influential. In addition to the photos on the Internet and his singing, it was the only time I saw him on TV, a He Yong who could connect me with my voice and face.

It’s a variety show, stage, and lighting. I don’t know if it will make him feel like he’s been a long time. But my heart is filled with a lot of unspeakable sadness, just like The lion on the prairie was locked into the circus.

The rock in the country gives me a natural sense of intimacy. During that time, I listened as much as possible to the domestic bands I could find, different styles and different tune. Once I went to the mall to buy things, just met a few young people’s group to sing the velvet road, “Youth is the X,” and couldn’t help but sing along, whispering, but full of excitement Hard to pretend to waveNot shocked, worried that people around me would feel that my middle-aged woman had any problems with her brain.

Looking at my song list, the 26-letter singer occupies all the domestic rock bands I can find. The waist band in the Y column is my preference. In order to learn “A Short Story”, I spent a week, walking three kilometers a day, and walking while singing.

More than yourself, but also “harmful” children

Reviewing the rock that I have heard in recent years, I feel that I still can’t be a deep person.

The rock circle is still beyond the reach of heaven in my eyes. In the past, in order to become a fan, I will listen to an album that I don’t like at all, and pretend to understand a band that is completely out of touch with my own preferences. I think of the pilgrimage, I have to hear enough to understand rock and roll. Now, it seems that I can understand it. I can hear enough to know what I like and I don’t like, so I can choose my favorite. This may be worthy. Is another real thing.

I re-listed the attention on Weibo and deleted some accounts that have been concerned for a long time. Those who really can’t like it, have not continued to pretend that they like it. After all, truth is the beginning of my favorite rock.
