Rock spirit
About“ Rock spirit ”And "rock and roll thought": most rock and roll fans like to describe rock and roll as a kind of spirit, but there are different opinions about what this spirit really feels like. Obviously, when rock bands create rock music, they do not first have the common understanding of "rock spirit" to create; It is hard to generalize all kinds of thoughts in the vast sea of rock music. Relatively Representativeness And influential rock spirit:
Youth's sense of autonomy (including reflection or rebellion against society, based on their different degrees of intensity);
Love and peace( Anarchism Is usually associated with it);
Anti religion (in Europe and America Countries with religious background);
hedonism perhaps Hedonism (In the 1980s Hard rock -- Popular metal --AOR period is representative);
Pessimism And nihilism (with Black metal and Doom metal On behalf of).
These ideas are not unified, sometimes even contradictory, so Rock spirit is actually not a kind of outline The dogmatic spirit is based on independent bands and specific works For example, we can safely say that in the The Beatles The spirit of the two songs, Getting Better and Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones at the same time, is completely different. The bigger difference, such as The Beatles and Black Sabbath The difference between the two bands is obviously more impossible to understand with a general rock spirit.
People's general impression of rock and roll: popular dress, radical thinking, decadent attitude... may be some prejudice. Rock is not only alternative, rock is not just popular, rock is not long hair, leather clothes, guitar plus Drum kit , rock and roll is more than just a loud voice!
Spirit and connotation
When it comes to listening to rock, people immediately think of crazy listeners and equally crazy musicians at the meeting. Admittedly, excellent expressiveness And performance makes rock and roll more appealing. However, people are paying more and more attention to the atmosphere of the venue, including crazy fancy drum and super shocking guitar solo Instead, it ignores the meaning of rock and roll itself. You can also take rock and roll as pop music to enjoy, but rock and roll has a more substantial inner waiting for you to find and love him. This is the meaning that rock and roll itself wants to express. As the entry said at the beginning, "rock and roll is not only a form of music, but actually a form of music‘ Life attitude And philosophy. ".
Rock 'n' roll has connotation, at least most of them have and can be understood by people, and the expressiveness of rock 'n' roll itself can make rock 'n' roll easier to understand, which is the so-called true expressiveness of rock 'n' roll, and is also different from the commercial production of pop music.

They are shiny and addictive, just like mainstream pop singers, and they have created a new spiritual environment for the life of a new generation of British young people. It is targeted by the young generation in Britain: because British rock and roll seldom care about whether its route will make it more difficult to be accepted by the American audience, so that the young generation in Britain fully feel that it has sung their life, their culture and their music pursuit. The young vitality and aspiration of British rock not only impacted the older musicians of low-key shoegazer style band in the early 1990s, but also affected the gloomy garage in America and the newly rising underground Electronic dance music The musicians behind the creation have a certain influence. Musically, British rock follows the Beatles, and of course, combines the pastoral sound of Kinks in the late 1960s, medium speed music( the Who , the Small Faces), David Bowie, T.Rax,Roxy Music),
Punk and New Wave (the Jam,the Buzzcocks, Wire , Madness,XTC,Squeeze,Elvis Costello), And the Smiths' alternative guitar is popular.

After splitting up in influence, British rock has been in Manchester Chester With their most rapid foundation, it is a place that emphasizes good timing and emphasizes the easy to remember melody of shoegazer aesthetics. The decadent pop style of The Stone Roses and the attitude of rock stars are the main part of the creation of British rock, but the real father of British rock should belong to Suede. In 1993, when they released their first album with the same name album, their combination of glam lock style and Smiths' improved style made them receive unexpected excellent effects.

By 1996, only Oasis had truly become the mainstream music star in the American music world. In 1997, the popularity aura of British rock gradually disappeared, that is, Oasis recalled the period when the third album was poor performance and Blur turned to American independent rock. However, even the superstars who gradually faded in this movement, some of them continued to maintain a strong snobbery, and a few of the early traditional rock and roll continued to survive in a classical style.

When Johnny Rotten Sex Pistols "I want to anarchy When the state is chaotic, it can incite the whole audience more than those who deeply hold the belief of the government. However, many punks who put this belief into their souls band It is not just a blind opposition to power, but a government that aims at this idea, or at least a hypocritical government that abuses its power. Anarchist Punk Some of the bands are from the right wing (the Dead Kennedys )Some are from the repressed working class (the Exploited) or both; Whatever its origin, it has been unified through its radical ideas. Most anarchist punks are Hardcore punk Since they are all in the same One time It is revealed, and anarchist punks are often displayed in a rough style, more of them are music professionals. Part of the reason for this is that this style of music is based on Personal freedom by ideology The idea that personal venting in music should be used by everyone, without ignoring the technical ability, is increasingly more important than music itself. But it is also very important to make people fully understand that this belief is as radical as what it preaches through music. Therefore, anarchist punk is generally recognized as noisy, fast and as rough as its professional technology. Most Representativeness The anarchic punk band of "Crass" insists on their playing ideas because of their extraordinary music structure and the lifestyle of their band members.

Gorgeous Rock

Often compared with the 1980s Micrometallic Confused (at least for the American audience), glam rock It is almost exclusive to the UK, and its popularity was very wide in the mid-1970s. Confused rock is quite simple. Broken guitar rock is completely accepted by the public due to its exaggerated insolence. Most of this kind of music is disturbing and easy to remember with pop pop bubble gum rock dance music from young people and the shaking rhythm of early rock. But those pure voices were covered in the process of interpretation, becoming unnatural, dazzling main performance skills and sexual. In fact, one of the important reasons why Confused Rock has never entered the American market is that its performers deliberately pay attention to sex, wear strange clothes with shoes, and the effect of visual costumes. Generally speaking, puzzle rock falls into two genres. The most popular is T Rex's style of deliberately and arbitrarily using debris; Marc Bolan, the leader, advocated to confuse the trend consciousness and created a style of all about sex and foolishness - or to make it enter another road characterized by the mainstream. Bands like Gary Glitter, Sweet, Slade followed the T. Rex aesthetic , and improved to another style, which is known as Glitter (more exclusive of Britain).
But because this style relies too heavily on imagination, confusion has a surprising artistic aspect, which is summarized by David Bowie and Roxy Music. This genre is more comedic and ambitious in terms of music and lyrics; Confusing music provides opportunities for musicians who shape their characters in their will, create their style consciousness into full artistry, and explore the dark hidden under the surface of pop dazzling music. In addition, the independent American puzzle rock band is the New York Dolls Their natural Stonesy proto punk sounds different from similar British bands, but their valueless aesthetics and costumes of the opposite sex make them obviously belong to this camp. Confused music really effectively attacked electronic warfare, which was officially approved by T Rexs, But the year that changed its style in 1972: T Rex consolidated its reputation through The Slider; David Bowie disbanded his classic Ziggy Sardust and reorganized Mott the Hooples star --- released the album All the Young Dudes; Roxy Music performed their influential debut; The New York Dolls started their first concert tour in the UK. Confused rock reached its peak in 1976, when most of its remaining main musicians left this style or gave up this job. However, puzzling music is important for people who grow up in British Punk Children in sports have a certain influence, even more in the dramatic dark former punk. Of course, confusing rock in the 1980s Popular metal It is very important that, although except Daf Leppard, many bands are from the United States and have little knowledge of the original initiator.

Punk Revival

In the 1970s, punk music has been developing in the direction of mainstream music in the United States. By the 1980s, a group of representatives had appeared The backbone The band. In the early 1990s - nearly 20 years after the appearance of punk music - the United States released its first album and single of punk rock percussion. Essentially, Punk Revival The bands are all traditionalists - they continue sex pistols , the stooges, the jam, the explored, black flag, dead kennedy, the teenagers and many other staunch punk bands. Since the late 1980s, punk has evolved into Speed Metal Since then, these traditional punk bands have naturally become much more intense in music expression than at first. However, this is part of the reason why punk music has attracted a large number of audiences in the United States - music is more simple and intense, much like faster and more violent Garage Rock The first group of punk renaissance bands that invaded mainstream American music were green day and offspring. Their success promoted the unity of a group of followers, such as random, nofx, penny wise, and pansy division. At the same time, punk bands in the 1980s that would be ignored were bad religion And underground punk schools such as the Third Persica revival have been pushed into the spotlight.

Post-Grunge

Seattle Garage Music A group of so-called Post-Grunge Style band. The main difference between them and Seattle garage music is that Seattle garage music firmly follows the underground alternative rock music style of the 1980s, while the latter garage music is more influenced by the conceptual garage music style - the internal form is widely popular, and the thought is serious. Therefore, many rear garage style bands simply imitate the style expression of garage music, but do not have the independent characteristics of the original garage art. The rear garage band inherits the music style full of anxiety and calm introspection in typical garage music, and regards it as a necessary element of garage art. Even in the low Song Dynasty, the rear garage bands kept a very serious and sober attitude towards their own existence, and finally, the unique elements of garage music became orthodox Music essence An integral part of the. The style of the rear garage almost influenced the mainstream mature heavy rock music of the whole 1990s. Although the music contains other elements, the rear garage is still a mainstream commercial music - its rich and flowing garage guitar playing is beautiful, fluent and popular. Many bands are very similar but not identical in style; In addition to the old garage music, the back garage also borrowed from the noisy pop in the early 1980s, punk pop, and revived Scar music, Alternative metals And classical commemorative rock music. In addition, some weird rear garage style items are also popular because of their black humor rather than low-key melancholy. Back garage music has surfaced soon after the generation of old garage music; The nirvana band, representing the old garage style, reached its peak in early 1992. Just a few years later Bush band And candlebox also achieved great success. After the first heyday of the old garage music passed, the post garage style began to rise, and a number of new bands emerged from the mid-1990s to the late 1990s; Some of them continue to be popular, while others are short-lived. Today, the style of the rear garage is still thriving. Creed and matchbox20 They are the two most popular bands of this style in the United States.

Indie rock

Indie rock The name comes from the word "independence", which represents the characteristics of small share and low budget when making and releasing records according to the ideas of their own bands. Although most independent types of music enter the market by the brand of the main company to gain sales share, their decision-making process is still based on their own ideas. Similarly, indie rock can freely explore the theme of sound, emotion and lyrics without catering to the tastes of the public - the profits of the public and personal tastes are different (although they do, after all, they still want to stay in business). It is deeply rooted in American underground and alternative rock in the 1980s, although since then underground rock music has begun to have some small changes. It feels like this word is widely used. Independent rock really separated itself from alternative rock when Nirvana hit the mainstream. The public taste gradually transformed the alternative into a new form of serious hard core, making it more predictable and testosterone driven in the process. Indie rock is a kind of Subculture Embodiment of; Not all alternative rock is inspired by Nirvana, nor do they all want to do so. Although indie rock has not clearly separated punk groups involved in business, it still does not care whether the band continues to be independent or sold to the mainstream; It is generally believed that, first of all, it is impossible to achieve a balance between creating independent rock and roll in a variety of musical forms and meeting the public taste. There are almost many reasons to explain the indie rock band Incompatibility But the following are some common understandings: this kind of music may be too capricious and naive; Too weird; Hypersensitivity and depression; Too decadent and morbid; Space thought and hypnosis; Too self and emotion are closely related to lyrics; In its works too Low Fidelity And low budget; There are too many edges and corners in tone and repetition; Taiyin cold and grinding; Too much packaging Sonic Youth / Dinosaur Jr. /Guitar noise of Pixies/Jesus&Mary Chain style; Too much inclination and fragmentation in the song structure; Affected by too many experiments or other non mainstream music forms. Regardless of this special nature, the creators and listeners of this kind of rock are very similar to the beginning of alternative music. Apart from this intersection, independent rock still takes a cautious attitude towards excessive testosterone. Of course, independent rock has never had great influence or strong feeling; It's just rare or never Machismo When the 1990s came, indie rock developed into quite a few sub trends and was similar to its adjacent music forms (indie pop, dream pop,noise-pop,lo-fi,math rock,posr-rock,space rock,sadcore, All these seem to have kept the balance of underground phenomena.

Acid rock

Acid Rock is a kind of intense and loud illusion rock Variations It absorbs the essence of the impromptu performance of Cream and Jimmy Hendrix, which have passed their prime. Acid bands rely on guitar variation, soft singing and long time Improvisation The existence of acid rock is not long - in Hallucinogen During its lifetime, it has been developing and forming a center - the band that did not disband finally evolved into Heavy Metal Band

Simple classification of metal music
Heavy Metal( heavy metal )Among many rock types, heavy metal is the most extreme in volume, masculinity and dramatic style. There are many variations in the genre of heavy metal sound, but they all try to reach consensus on noisy effects, distorted guitar playing (usually playing repeated passages), and simple, pounding melodies. Heavy metal has been causing controversy since its existence --- Critic From tradition They criticized the stage play effect that deliberately attracted most teenagers, and some conservative groups often protested the lyrics that they felt were harmful and evil. Despite many difficulties, heavy metal has become a stable and popular form of rock music since its birth. It has enough ability to adapt to this period, and still can maintain its core attraction that has not been eroded. Although such as the rebellious form of vocal channel selection in the United States, heavy metals are to a large extent British creations. The seeds of heavy metals were first planted in the 1960s British Blues It was broadcast in the movement, especially in those who found it difficult to adapt to the United States blues Naturalng's band. This kind of rhythm is more irregular and enhanced Electronic musical instrument The use of music has become a more important feature, especially through innovative musicians such as the Kinks, the Who, Jimmy Hendrix, Cream and the Jeff Beck Group. However, as can be proved by the evidence, the original real Metal Band It's Led Zeppelin. At the beginning, Zep played blues tunes more heavily and noisily than anyone else, and by acquiring a lot of music Source pole Soon created a large-scale, texture represented by heavy rock. Less elaborate but perhaps more influential is Black Sabbath, whose dark and boring guitar repetitions create an imaginary end of the world, full of drugs, death and supernatural confusion. Next, this style was abandoned by Zep and Sabbath. Many American bands changed heavy metal into a more accessible form in the 1970s; Alice Ccooper and Kiss Easy to remember tunes and brutal stage performances; Aerosmith Sleep boogie; Van Halen The flashy guitar intro and fanatical party rock. In the late 1970s, some hidden British bands called New Wave of Heavy Metals in Britain (including Judas Priest , Iron Maiden , Motorhead )Start playing metal faster, tilt and use more intimidation. Their appearance is a new American metal in the 1980s--- Flagellate metal Provides influence, this new things Qualitative to metal New mainstream The popular breakthrough is represented by Def Leppards Pyromania. Metal was the most enjoyable in the glory period of the 1980s, due to a large number of glammed up Popular metal The band, in addition to lashing the metal band to play complex repetitions, sometimes incorporates some soft and beautiful vocal music. Like Metallica and Megadeth Such flagellation bands formed fanatical fans and took off their popular metal jackets in the garage at the same time to push them into the mainstream. The mainstream metal in the 1990s is called Alternative metals The mixture of hip-hop And the boom of industry combine the influence of grinding rush and grunge. During this period, the underground grew in a rougher and bleaker style, producing two similar styles that originated from flagellation, called Death metal and Dark metal They created some of the most important music of grinding, violent and speeding, and graphic shock tacts never shown in the metal world.
Alternative metals: In its initial stage, alternative metals formed their own style with unusual sensitivity to music that can be directly classified. Heavy metal is the core of this kind of music, but these bands are too irregular, and their influence is too eclectic for underground whipping metal, so their main fans are those who like heavy guitar rock. However, in Garage Music It helped to enrich alternative metals and thus gained a large number of listeners. Especially when more aggressive bands gradually studied their timbre, alternative metals began to become the most popular style among heavy metals in the 1990s. When it shows almost the least classification type of heavy metals, its form is very different from that of other metals in the early 1980s. At the same time, most of the survivors Hard nucleus Punk bands have turned to the trend of metal field, which has promoted the underground heavy guitar rock band to find inspiration elsewhere. The earliest alternative metal with a heavy metal style is divided into Jane Addiction, Primus, Garage Punk Soundgarden , Corrosion of Conformity), Noisy Rock (the Jesus Lizard, Helmet ), Crazy Faith No More , Living Colour ), Faith No More, Biohazard, Industry, Nine Inch Nails ), Psychedelic music (Soundgarden, Monster Magnet), Even World Music (later Sepultura)。 The evolution of all this did not take place in a specific scene, but the growing desire to try the form of pure performance that has become more and more dependent on musical instruments. Some of these bands finally gained great influence among the public, especially through touring. They also laid the foundation for the alternative rock that gradually emerged in 1993-94, and formed a group represented by Rage Against the Machine and Korn Rap Metal , represented by Tool uncoordinated Music to White Zombie Is the weight represented by. And popular breakthroughs represented by Nine Inch Nails. These bands will become part of the Pantera The thick, dissolved improvisation and repetition style, which is different from any metal band, has the most influential power in the production of sound and the style of other metal types. Like many other metal bands, Pantera is serious, cold and internal, but they demonstrate how to be masculine. In the middle and late 1990s, most of the new alternative metal bands began to play a mixed style of single whip, rap, industry, hardcore punk and garage. This new sound includes more than hooks or memorial riffs grindcore Features and fierce attack, so it relies more on studio recording to complete the power it shows; However, it captures the masculinity represented by the hidden mainstream metal of teenagers, thus becoming a business cult. Korn,Marilyn Manson, Bands such as Limp Bizkit and sometimes accompanied by aggro matal, nu metal, or (incorrectly) hardcore content are the biggest stars in this new movement, and at the end of this decade, countless new bands began to perform that kind of micro metal branch with a year-round nature similar to the late 1980s violence (ionic, given alternative metals vehement rejection of hair metals attitude).
Black Metal (Black metal): with evil Paganism Worship and Satan thought are its main appeals, which are usually classified as Black metal In addition to traditional heavy metal fixed instruments, other instruments such as piano violin , or opera Soprano , creating a weird and scary atmosphere in the song. "Black metal" from Northern Europe The heavy metal group is the most representative. Representative bands: Emperor , Mayhem , Enslaved , Dark Funeral
Industrial metal: when pure industry takes its main source from Experimental music And electronic dance music implies that industrial metal makes the distorted noise of electric guitar an important part of music. Some industrial metal bands have their songs built around metal style guitar repetitions, and when others use it more it can create harsh and abrasive textures. On the other hand, industrial metals are generally better than straight- ahead As for metal, it has more aggression, which helps this style to spread across audiences who are accustomed to metal and alternative music dominated by guitar. The lyrics of industrial metals also reflect the aggressiveness of darkness and standard heavy metals, although susceptibility By focusing on punk and alternative rock Personal awareness The alienation on was screened out. No matter whether its anger is turned to human nature or exposed to society, industrial metal always expresses a cold and tortured anxiety, and expresses the alienation from the edge of the world close to despair through its pounding wall like noise. The Minstry is the earliest band that popularized industrial metals in the late 1980s. The buildings marked by them are ground on repeated playing of jackhammer guitar, electronics, experiment and distorted sound; However, it was in the early 1990s that Nine Inch Nails really brought sound to Mainstream society Because Trent Reznor's talent in composing music and multi-layer works. Inspired by the success of NIN, many similar sounds suddenly appeared on alternative radio. At the end of the last decade, many popular alternative metal bands appropriately integrated the excellent works of industrial metal electronics into their aggressive mixed music style.
Agricultural metals : When the pure industry with its main hints from experimental music and electronic dance music, agricultural metal has taken a new approach, adopting dazzling titles and serious critical spirit to attract people's attention. Some agricultural metal bands make their songs based on repeated passages of critical lyrics around the metal style. On the other hand, agricultural metals are generally more aggressive than industrial metals.
progressive metal : The avant-garde metal combines the striking, volume and aggressive elements of metal music with the grand pseudo classical publicity of avant-garde rock Phase mixing Of course, some bands emphasize one of them Element pair The influence of another element - -- for example, Dream Theater. Compared with other bands, they prefer avant-garde style - -- but all bands reflect the basic publicity style in music. Taking Pink Floydian and Queensryche as representatives, avant-garde metals emerged in the late 1980s. At one time, avant-garde metals were quite secretive (although such as and justice for all Metal music There are as many albums as avant-garde music albums, and they are classified one by one.) Throughout the 1990s, avant-garde metal kept a low profile. However, its popularity is enough to cause cross collision, which is most notably reflected in the“ silent lucidity ”Despite this, avant-garde metal works did not gain much in the 1990s Economic benefits Bands such as Queensryche and Dream Theater have been the symbols of this style in the past decade. However, by the end of the 1990s, avant-garde metals had undoubtedly become the consistent direction of the fanatical hardcore.
Death/ ferrous metal Death metal comes from the whip metal in the late 1980s. Taking the extreme route with the hard lyrics and the obsession of the scourge morbid, death metal is - as its name implies - just about death, pain and suffering. These cruel and cold lyrics are constantly noisy and repeated heavily. This style is influenced by many slow metals like Black Sabbath. Metallica is a typical representative. Death Metal Band It was also influenced by many complex song structures of art rock in the 1970s, although most of these complex song structures were learned from Metallica. Death metal has never resonated with the public, but for some diehard heavy metal fans, Metallica and Guns N Roses are the best - they bought millions of records from the late 1980s to the early 1990s - or pop metal, such as Poison. Death/Black Metal kept a small group of loyal fans in the 1990s.
Goth metal : Gothic metal is dark and noisy Gothic rock Surrounded by the cold atmosphere and heavy metal aggression, I found the middle position between the dramatic consciousness and the lyric attraction decorated with religion and horror. Gothic metal like the former punk, ambiguous archaize, and metal bands like Rainbow, Dio, and Judas Priest have been described as the secondary voice of Gothic. If there are no more characteristics, then in addition to the fact that the real Gothic metal is always directly affected by Gothic rock, it is ethereal Synthesizer Effects and ghostly feelings are as important as guitar riffs. Therefore, gothic metal often keeps asking the audience to stand at both ends of the scale. Gothic metals first emerged in the early 1980s to Los Angeles It is also called "death metal" because it is centered on Christian Death The place where the leader took place. Many gothic metal bands broke out among a wider audience of alternative metals in the 1990s through tongue in cheek Type 0 Negative after jumping up in the United States and Europe.
