The recent chaos can blow up the music scene and even the entire Internet! It's a long story, let's start with Daolang's cover of a song "Rakshasa Sea City" in Kuaishou.
No one could have imagined that this ancient song, which has a history of more than 300 years, could set off such a high craze among young people. Some people interpret it as a satire on the darkness of officialdom, and some people say that it is an indictment of the current society.
As everyone understands the content of this song more and more, many old things have also been turned out one by one: some people say that local musicians were seriously marginalized by the mainstream music industry and were treated unfairly; Some people also found out that mentor-level figures have put on a "scolding" face against non-mainstream singer-songwriters......
As a result, the field of public opinion was surging, and the two sides were fighting with each other, and you came and went, degrading each other fiercely. The scene was out of control for a while, and the tragedy was far greater than the previous street verbal battles. Everyone felt that someone had to settle the mess, but they felt that the matter was too complicated to be completely resolved.
Good guys, what the hell is going on? Let's take a look back at the whole thing.
The song "Rakshasa Sea City" caused cyberviolence
The reason is that Daolang went live on Kuaishou on May 12 and sang for a full 4 hours in one breath. Don't underestimate this old man, as soon as he sang it, it became popular all over the Internet!
At that time, he not only covered the ironic song "Rakshasa Sea City", but also simply pulled a few young people to sing together. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be unexpectedly popular.
Especially in the later distortions, the listeners heard the metaphorical meaning of the song, flocked to it, and gave their own understandings. In general, it is nothing more than these general directions:
First, it satirizes today's society, and the guidance of public opinion is extremely serious;
the second is to criticize the dark and fake face of officialdom;
The third is to indict the discrimination of mainstream culture against non-mainstream music, reflecting the narrowness of aesthetic standards...
It's hilarious! The two sides are fighting firewood, arguing and shouting, and they will come and go. There are Daolang supporters who support it and say: "Anyway, it's just scolding those hypocrites!" There are also ridiculers who say: "Isn't your so-called 'non-mainstream' just rubbish?!"
Then, the incident escalated again. The two sides not only tore bi on the Internet, but also did not let go offline, spraying each other everywhere. Later, it became a pot of porridge, the bayonets were red, the insults were endless, the sky was dark, and the miasma of black smoke made people unable to guard against it. Even Daolang himself was forced to stand up and shout: Everyone, calm down!
Yang Kun was abused on the Internet, and the matter broke out
However, what really pushed this matter to a climax was a fierce news that was released. In other words, many years ago on the music stage, the mentor-level figure Yang Kun publicly belittled the music works of Daolang, Li Yuchun and others.
Yang Kun was open-mouthed, saying that they had "aesthetic defects" and "were simply chaotic and coaxing"! No wonder Daolang was so unnoticed at that time. And as soon as these remarks spread on the Internet, they immediately blew up on the Internet.
As a result, the low-level Yang Heifan and Daolang fans were hot-headed, and they pieced together all the unpleasant things that Yang Kun had said on various occasions before, and then bombarded him violently.
Yang Kun is a well-known person who loves to show off. Once upon a time, he was the pillar of the entire music scene, rampant in the music scene for decades, and became the king of heaven with a song "It Doesn't Matter". No one dared to offend him, even a big man like Andy Lau, listening to Yang Kun's sentence "his voice is too mediocre", he could only shut up honestly.
But as the saying goes, "The sun is often the hottest time before a storm." Yang Kun's fall was bloody, and it was completely complete! No one expected that this cruel and ugly music authority would have such a dark side.
Someone broke the news that Yang Kun was ungrateful and arrogant after he became famous. He has publicly flaunted and humiliated his benefactor Chen Lin many times. Some people even say that he is just a person who relies on his mistress Bai Xue to get out in the "night scene", and he is not qualified to slander others at all.
For a time, the Internet was full of personal attacks on Yang Kun, and the abuse and criticism reached a new frenzy. He himself was confused: what was going on? Why did I get to this point? I'm the biggest guy in the music industry!
Unexpectedly, as netizens continued to peel the skin, more of Yang Kun's black material was exposed one by one. For example, he has had many scandals with female artists; There are negative reports of drunken entanglement of women; The work was accused of plagiarism and lack of professional ethics
You think that's the end of it? In fact, it's far from over! Immediately after, more surprising information was dug up.
The first is the plagiarism scandal. It turned out that as early as 2003, Yang Kun was exposed to plagiarism because of the song "That Day". But at that time, he was full of quibbles, and even threw all the pots to the composer, and cleaned it himself, as if he had nothing to do with it.
But it didn't take long for someone to pick up a large number of suspected plagiarism in his works. After comparing them, we found that many of them were identical to other people's works. It seems that this singer doesn't have any creative ability at all on weekdays, and he is just using his resource advantage to fool everyone.
Secondly, what is even more distressing is Yang Kun's contempt and discriminatory attitude towards emerging musicians. For example, he once publicly disparaged the products of the Internet celebrity singer "Thunder", and once disdained Ouyang Nana.
But it is precisely these young and promising people born in the 80s and 90s who are the hope for the future of the music industry! They use the most simple efforts and sweat, and use the purest music to interpret their own unique style and attitude.
If it were Yang Kun in the past, he might be dismissive. But what about now? As the leader of the music industry, how can it not be embarrassing to be so lofty and empty-eyed?
What's even more ridiculous is that in today's predicament, Yang Kun has been reduced to the point of being an Internet celebrity anchor.
Those who are familiar with him know that Yang Kun in the past returned to his hometown and returned as a king, and just a concert could shake the entire rivers and lakes. But now? But he can only sing hard in the small live broadcast room, relying on that little profit, and living a life of stretchedness.
What a combination of heaven and man, what a contrast of characters! It seems that with the flick of a finger, the former "famous and decent" has fallen and become a "pseudo-master" that no one cares about. Yes, the world is impermanent, heroes are in the twilight, and yesterday's emperor is just a drop in the ocean today.
Now, of course, we can't turn a blind eye to Yang Kun's past immorality. But at the same time, it's hard not to be sympathetic to his current situation. After all, who would have thought that one day this music authority would step by step to the lowest point in his life?
Public opinion analysis: analysis of the root causes of social problems
Seeing this, many friends may wonder: How did it turn into such a chaos? What are the root causes of social problems behind them?
In fact, if we analyze carefully, it is not difficult to find that the core of the incident still reveals several contradictions:
First, there are prominent contradictions within the music industry. There is a perpetuation of exclusion between mainstream and non-mainstream, and a lack of inclusive understanding. This not only hinders the diversified development of music, but also brings great pressure to the survival of musicians in it.
Second, the issue of the simplification of cultural aesthetic standards. For a long time, the judging criteria in the music industry were often too narrow and lacking in forward-looking awareness. Once there is a creation that does not match it, it is directly degraded as "low" or "garbage".
Third, it is the distortion of social value orientation. Too much admiration for authority and fame, and no emphasis on originality and strength. As a result, some mentally degenerate, dizzy "hypocrites" dominate and strike at and ostracize the truly talented.
