Some time ago, the circle of friends ushered in the annual listening report swiping screen, and this unique sense of ritual at the end of the year is a preview of the end of 2023. This year, everyone seems to be "numb", and in the picture book of netizens' listening reports, it is a renaissance that grabs a lot.
Not only **, since the beginning of the year, Y2K and subcultural aesthetics have made a comeback, and the literary youth have fiddled with the old CCD cameras again, and the leftover things from the last century have become hot things in this era. NostalgiaThe mood is present in every era, but this year is especially numerous;BecauseIn the past 2023, everyone has generally had a bad time。I remember that at the end of 2022, people gave a lot of imagination to the new year, thinking that everything would eventually return to normal;But today, none of the expected optimism has materialized, and everyone is caught in the whirlpool of the times and feels anxious;The increasing exhaustion has exhausted the cultural physical strength, and can only get a little respite on the short **;Anything new can be brought to the fore, but the old dilemma lingers. It is difficult for the entertainment industry to blossom, and surfing the Internet is just a cocoon in the flow of information, and the Chinese music scene is no longer in its prime;Using ** to be nostalgic seems to have become the main theme of this year's song listening report.
2023 seems to be a complete farewell to yesterday's world, the epidemic, and global warming
So the era of global boiling and entertainment to death has arrived. In the spring of this year, Li Ronghao's song "Your shallow smile is like black plum sauce" suddenly washed the short ** platform;The melody catches the ear and the lyrics are straightforward, but it doesn't have much core, and it is evaluated as a saliva song that "makes the word vulgar unbearable".
*irlevated) short** became the carrier of communication, record singers speculated and concocted divine comedies, and the mainstream ** aesthetics sank from the palace to the vegetable market.
The Chinese music scene has "changed", there is no peace in the rolling circle, and the band has experienced falling apart: In March this year, Shi Lu announced that he would temporarily bid farewell to the Hedgehog Band.
After all, they parted ways, and the drummer, who had accompanied the hedgehog for 18 years, left completely. It's just that after three years of the epidemic, too many music fans haven't had time to watch Shi Lu's performance in the hedgehog. The picture was already blurred in my mind, and only the whistling that pierced through the drum skin sounded in my ears: "Hello Hello Hello, we are hedgehogs!."”
The current hedgehog, with a new lineup, is active in large and small ** festivals, and it is still well received. Shi Lu also held her own solo tour, and the results were unsatisfactory but she also took a new step. But how I still want to, how I want to go back to the summer of 2019 and see the hedgehog on stage once again trying his best to unleash life. From now on, the hedgehog is no longer the hedgehogThe echoes of the past have become a swan song。It is not only the hedgehog that will become a swan song this spring, but also Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has quietly left. Two years ago, he wrote on Weibo that he had been diagnosed with rectal cancer again after suffering from throat cancer in 2014. Standing on top of his illness, he calmly and resolutely practiced the piano and composed music every dayIn his last online meeting, he recorded a solo performance one by one in advance, and said goodbye to the audience.
From human beings to human beings, from glaciers to nature care, fighting cancer for 9 years, Ryuichi Sakamoto has his own confrontation in the days of symbiosis with cancer, as well as his compassion for the world. The cute old man who sampled the sounds of nature and set a bucket on his head to collect the sound of the rain still cared for the entire endless universe at the end of his life.
Life will eventually grow old and die, and eternal ** has become extremely important at this moment. A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young. Dou Jingtong sang a cover of "It's Dark", as if she heard Faye Wong from her clear and ethereal voice;The innocent energy of not knowing the world is more like the vague self in my memory.
Zhao Lei's "I Remember" is a late bloomer, and together with the sentence "Youth has no price, hard seats go directly to Lhasa", it has become the formula of "special forces tourism";I remember (live)., Zhao Lei.
However, this song is by no means a straightforward cry, but a kind of nostalgia conveyed through the peace of time and space:Thinking of the old days, the spring is bright, and the old people are still there.
The summer of 2023 belongs to "dopamine". This neurotransmitter in the brain is mainly responsible for transmitting messages of excitement and happiness. In this era, the most popular is just the phrase "I am happy to buy a thousand dollars", and people are more eager to find a sense of spiritual and emotional satisfaction. Cai Xukun was ** but he is forever at station B, although he is not in the rivers and lakes, but his legend has always been circulating in the rivers and lakes.
The "Laughing Alluring" and "Xiucai" who sing to each other have become idols sought after by middle-aged and elderly people, and their explosion is the butterfly effect that affects the collective "crazy" of the Internet in the second half of the year. Shijiazhuang runs a "rock home town" rock city, and "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man" was changed to "The Shijiazhuang Man Who Can't Be Killed", which is ridiculous and needless to say.
Daolang's release of the new song "Rakshasa Sea City" seems to indicate that the hidden corners of life are full of chaos;For example, the ** festival that has been held in a blowout all over the country. In June, the Songshan ** Festival bred a "concubine" atmosphere called "father" and "husband" to send tickets, from the lineup operation to the spiritual core;In July, Su Duo, the lead singer of the GALA band, was unable to sing normally due to the teleprompter wrapping around the microphone, and threw the teleprompter angrily on the stage of the ** Festival. **There are more and more festivals, but the sense of experience is getting worse and worse;Woodstock may not exist, our quest constitutes itself. Also in July, Coco Li's death undoubtedly gave us another blow.
Coco Li, who has always loved singing and dancing, no longer dances, but has been trying her best to hide the inconvenience of her left leg;The omnipotent "female warrior" suffers from depression, but she bites and swallows the pain and never shows it in front of people. Travel back in time 20 years ago, in the thick, blurry display of plasma TVs;The red-haired, brightly smiling Coco Li brought a free sea breeze that still blows in my ears today. So healthy and confident.
When we feel the warmth, we never think the sun will set. 69-year-old Luo Dayou performed on stage again and sang the song "Dream Chaser" written to Sanmao.
Memories flashed through my mind like a slide, go back, back to 1991, back to the world when we were all young. Yesterday was like a dream, like a meteor crossing, and there was rolling red dust in Luo Dayou's song;
The cannibalized ** memories remind people all the time:The old days are goneBefore the aftermath of summer has passed, the third season of "Summer of the Band" is back.
The band returned to the stage, and we have love at the same time as we have **. Waina, from the countryside of Guangxi, interprets the rock in their hearts with the most natural and clean expression;The second-hand roses on the program of "Slap in the Face" continue to toss and improve on the road of the people's artist;
Long Kuan, who reunited on the stage after many years, is a supermarket that refuses to be resurrected. Wait a minute. Even though this season has been criticized for going high and going low, it still gives the band a clean soil;Every year after the end of "Le Xia", rock music will take root and sprout in the hearts of countless people. The pain of "Le Xia" was the finale of the Aranya Xiami Festival, and the promise with the fans a year ago was fulfilled under the witness of the starry sky and the beach. Xiami** has been shut down for two years, but it carries countless memories and emotions, and many people have never been willing to unload;
Fortunately, this ** festival once again brought us together with Pain Yang and Shrimp. Summer is over, but there is no end to ideals and love.
The golden autumn is bidding farewell to the endless wilderness. Somewhere in the world where war is torn, a young Palestinian rapper told reporters: "The children here never think about tomorrow because we don't have tomorrow." ”
The war was the beginning of magical realism in the second half of the yearThe economic problems of the depressed region have created the same sadness that people in peaceful areas do not see the future. The head anchor Li Jiaqi betrayed loyal consumers because of a 79 yuan eyebrow pencil;In the general environment, the organizers of the ** festival covered their ears and stole the bell to replace all the sensitive words with "mouth", and Chen Li's lyrics became "mouth people don't blink";Pop** is not serious literature, and Sweep Min does not sweep "" but makes jokes.
The legend of the phoenix has become the antidote to the life of young people, in the past, the song of the legend of the phoenix sounded, it must be the square dance gathering place of the uncle and aunt within a radius of five miles, and now "Mrs. Luxury" debuted, and the young people danced more jubilant than anyone else. Speaking of ** interaction, we have to mention Wu Bai's popularity, which further triggered nostalgia. This year, the topic of Wu Bai has emerged endlessly on the Internet, and the former rock and roll prodigal son and tender iron man have become the favorite "fun man" of young people. Other people's concerts are still struggling with true singing and fake singing, overturning and reversing their voices, Wu Bai's concert is not sung directly, and even fans spend money to sing for Wu Bai. Wu Bai himself has changed from a famous singer to a "famous conductor":
Obviously, everyone no longer pays attention to what Wu Bai is doing on stage, but finds a dusty memory in each other's singing. This fall, it seems like everyone is more focused on themselves. On the Halloween parade in October, heroes from all walks of life crossed the sea to show their magical powers;This "Wu Bai" teacher took his brother and brother "50,000" and "Jiutiao" to the street to join in the fun, and the "Faye Wong" and "Na Ying" staged golden songs on the street "Meet Ninety-Eight" and nostalgic.
Living in a cage for a long time, he has to return to nature, tear off the hypocrisy given by the "social role", and simply please himself and please himself. Dissolving everything and entertaining everything is the Dionysian spirit of modern people.
Winter is coming, and 2023 is coming to an end. The world is like a huge grass platform, and this winter we have lost or lost. The death of X-Japan bassist Heath was like an endless rain pouring down on me;Asia's greatest legendary band is missing a corner, making many people realize that their youth is coming to an end with visual kei rock.
6 years after Namie Amuro announced her retirement, her songs were removed from the shelves of major ** platforms;No matter how convenient the streaming is, it will one day completely disappear from the Internet, which is far less real than a physical record. The same is true for physical books and movie discs, and it is only then that people realize how precious the "eternity" of physical media is.
Forgetting in the Internet age is a kind of death, far more cruel than **. The most cruel thing this year is a big Chinese music scene caused by fake singing, and until today, *** has not given fans a positive response. "10 beats e6" and "24 years of voice" Ashin's response avoided the important and trivial, and the Fangshan season bird monkey has become a hot stalk on the Internet;
***, which is regarded as a spiritual beacon by fans, has been playing word games that change concepts. We like *** and we used to think that we can be enthusiastic forever;It wasn't until now that youth ended in such an undignified way that I suddenly found outIt turns out that no one can be young forever。This winter, in addition to Sister Niu's "Christmas Wants Your Life" and "All I Want for Christmas Is You", Jay Chou also released a new song "Christmas Star" on Christmas Day.
In recent years, Jay Chou has slowed down the speed of his release, from two films a year in the past to one every two years, and now it takes almost a few years of polishing to release a song. The three words Jay Chou are more like a symbol, the collective memory of an era;Behind his name is the youth of a generation, and it is also the ** era of the Chinese music scene. Jay, who stood on the stage and became a god overnight because of the sentence "Hualiu is the most dick", may only be found in memory. As soon as "Christmas Star" was released, Jay Chou was named "Jiang Lang's talent", but he himself shouldn't have cared;What is more anxious than him may be the "NetEase Cloud**" user who doesn't even have the copyright.
NetEase Cloud users are like friends drinking in the corner in this gathering of Jay Chou's new song, and they are unwilling and inconvenient. "The excitement is theirs, I have nothing. ”
All the things that have happened in the Chinese music scene this year are reminding us that the ** people who have accompanied a generation have made confrontations or compromises against the torrent of the times, and we are both spectators and participants, each with our own disappointments and angers. But fortunately, the former ** era had a beginning and an end, and the Beatles released their last new song: "Now and Then".
After the deaths of Lennon and George, AI repaired Lennon's voice, allowing us to cross life and death to face him in 2023. Artificial intelligence, which was previously regarded as a flood beast by all walks of life in literature and art, has a different kind of humanistic care. We missed the era of the rise of the Beatles, but we can still hear a truly new song of theirs;A pure rock music, a pure regret and emotion. In addition to rejoicing, there is only rejoicing.
2023 has come to the end of the year, and it is clear that we have struggled to move forward, but it is still like a boat against the current;So we are nostalgic, and behind the nostalgia is the utopia of briefly letting go of the chaos and exhaustion of this year. Recently, the song "Beijing Welcomes You" was covered by a group of young people on the Internet and became popular again, it turned out that 15 years have passed in 2008.
Nowadays, smartphones are common, fireworks are banned, and the children who watched the Olympics in front of the TV have gradually become the ones who shoulder the burden of life. Only to find that the original world environment is not as friendly as we imagined, and such a grand occasion is rarely seen again. With the flick of a finger, the golden days when everyone was full of vitality and yearning for tomorrow are gone, shining in memory. We don't want to deny the profound impact of the big times on individuals, nor do we want to get lost in the crowd;Whether it's taking the exam, quitting a job, or even restarting your life, every decision seems like a fork in the roadBut we still yearn to find a small place in this day and age. If 2023 has bottomed out, then hopefully 2024 will be Jedi**. I remembered Zweig's emotion in "Yesterday's World": "Today, when the huge storm has already smashed the world to pieces, we finally understand that the peaceful world is nothing more than a palace in a dream." "A pacifist who lived through two world wars, who died helplessly and desperately for the world of yesterday;But in the tone of his pathos, there is still a beautiful hope:"I love the world and expect it to have a good present, a good future. ”
