Chapter 181 Rock and Roll is Not Dead (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)

Zhang Ping, 40 years old this year, is an ordinary office worker.

The burden of life weighs on his shoulders every day, smoothing out all the edges of his character and turning him into a most ordinary middle-aged man. The dreams and pursuits of his youth have gradually been buried in the past by time, with only a few ripples occasionally appearing, but they are also calm.

After get off work every day, Zhang Ping would stay and work overtime no matter whether he had finished the work at hand or not. This kind of thing was very difficult to understand for those young people who had just joined the company. Zhang Ping was too lazy to explain anything to others. Some things will naturally be understood by those who understand, and those who don’t will not understand no matter how you explain it.

Zhang Ping would go home on time when the lights came on, then smoke a cigarette in the smoking area downstairs, killing some time, and then go home when the smell of smoke on his body had almost dissipated.

This period of time is a little free time for Zhang Ping. Sometimes he would think about the stupid things he did when he was young, and sometimes he would just let himself go and ignore everything. But today, Zhang Ping wanted to listen to some music.

Zhang Ping opened the music app on his phone, clicked on the category, and selected the "Rock" category.

When Zhang Ping was young, he loved listening to rock music. He even dreamed of forming a band with others to contribute to the domestic rock industry and spread the charm of rock music across the country.

But the fact proved that Zhang Ping really thought too much, he was not that kind of material at all. However, this did not affect Zhang Ping's love and pursuit of rock music.

However, rock music has been on a downward trend since it became popular more than a decade ago. It has even become a niche music. There has not been a single popular rock song on the major music charts for many years.

Even loyal fans of rock music like Zhang Ping can only listen to old songs from more than ten years ago over and over again, and the playlist has not been updated for more than ten years.

Even so, Zhang Ping is still willing to try listening to new songs. At worst, if he hears bad songs, he can just listen to old songs to freshen his ears. He can't just generalize all rock newcomers, so he should at least give them a chance.

Zhang Ping feels that although today's rock singers cannot be compared with those of more than ten years ago, there is still room for improvement. Maybe if they are given more time, they will be able to catch up slowly and produce better works?

Hey, "Shameless", I haven't heard it before, it's a new song by a new artist, give it a listen. Zhang Ping clicked to listen, and a loud and clear shout almost made Zhang Ping's soul fly away!

“Oh… Oh…

In the crowd, there are you and me

Meeting, getting to know each other, and thinking about each other——"

The noisy, hysterical and shocking sound made Zhang Ping's blood boil. At that moment, Zhang Ping felt as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, to that glorious rock era.

The sound of electric guitar whistles past, the angry decadent consciousness makes people's blood boil, there is always a warm feeling surging in the eyes in the shouting singing, inexplicable melancholy and confusion, and a heavy feeling that is difficult to let go.

The electric guitar seems unusually cold and pure, in the enthusiastic echo of the drums and bass, in the majestic, gorgeous and willful shouting, the melody of the electric guitar is allowed to flow continuously, like a violin mixed with metal, mixed with indescribable emotions of anger or confusion, like an unexpected lightning that breaks through the shroud of depression and loneliness.

The seemingly calm singing voice is actually majestic and gives people an urge to stand in the crowd with a guitar and burst out with passion!

Just like the lyrics say, there is no need to talk too much, no need to care too much, and no need to be sad.

The eyes of others, the opinions of the public, or everything that the world imposes on us, the words "I feel ashamed" expose the hypocritical, impetuous and lonely face, a self-confession without any hypocrisy, criticizing the injustice and indifference of the outside world...

Zhang Ping's self that had been smoothed out by life and his passion that had been tempered by time were awakened by these shouts. His blood boiled again and his passion burned anew. This is the charm of rock and roll!

This is what rock people call the immortality of rock!

Zhang Ping knows that this is no longer the peak period of rock music, but rock music is still in the hearts of many people. This is not just a slogan, it is a cry that rock music is still there, it has not disappeared, it is in the hearts of rock music fans.

But at the same time, this shout is nothing more than a stiff slogan to others, and it feels awkward to listen to. This only shows that there are real barriers between circles. Zhang Ping never forces others to agree with his love and pursuit of rock. He just supports these new-age rock singers to the best of his ability.

Well, for example, you can directly download the song "Shame on Me" and share it with like-minded people, and also pay attention to this newcomer named Lin Fan, and look forward to Lin Fan's next song.

As soon as Zhang Ping shared it, someone in the group immediately responded.

[Lao Li: Lao Zhang, have you listened to this song too? Hey, it's really good. It sounds like a pure rock song. If this song was released more than ten years ago, it would not be much worse than the rock hits of the time.]

【Old Sun: I am listening to it too. This song is really interesting, and the young man who sings it does a good job. Going back and forth on the same tune is a test of endurance, but the singer's pronunciation is very solid, and the pronunciation is clear and round. Every word is well controlled, and every word is sung with a strong voice. Not bad, really good.】

Zhang Ping laughed. This old Sun is showing off his professional level again. You are the only one who can show off? I can do it too.

[Lao Zhang: The stirring tune and the high-pitched voice are a perfect combination, shouting out people's self-reflection and thoughts on life in the rock era...]

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

While Zhang Ping was chatting in the group, he was looking for relevant information about Lin Fan in the music software.

Hey, this Lin Fan is not a newcomer, right? He has sung several songs. There is also a light rock song called "Glory". Let's listen! As a result, Zhang Ping didn't even have time to smoke a cigarette. Before he finished the second song, his wife called! Zhang Ping was so scared that he answered the phone in a panic: "Right away! I'm downstairs and will be home soon!"

Then, my daughter's voice came from the other end of the line: "Dad, what are you doing downstairs? I saw you just now, but you haven't come upstairs for such a long time."

Zhang Ping smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, I'll go back now."

"Oh, Mom said we're out of soy sauce, so she asked you to go to the store at the entrance of the community to buy a bottle. We're cooking right now and we need it urgently. Dad, the quality of our meals today depends on you. If you don't hurry up, the braised pork will become boiled meat."

Zhang Ping's face turned pale and he ran towards the gate of the community: "Wait for me! I'm going to get some soy sauce now! Ask your mother to wait for me..."
