At 23:00 Beijing time, the night sky of the city, which was illuminated by lights, was falling silent little by little.
At 23:00, the real world began to accumulate, the world of emotions in the young brain began to surge, and the world of music ushered in a small climax every day.
In China, this point in time is the daily peak of hundreds of millions of post-90s and post-00s people listening to songs.
Compared with most of the real health middle-aged and elderly friends who abandoned their mobile phones after 21:00, young people at 23:00 prefer to throw goji berries into the beer cup and open the music App to open today's "music sage time".

Among them, some are capturing practical opinions in Party A's "Feeling Almost Something", and some are still soaking in front of their desks. They may be the father of a three-year-old girl, they may be the villagers of Houchang Village on the commute road from work in 996, or maybe it is you.
At 23 o'clock, why do we have to listen to songs?

01, good luck believers, "Breathe in this wave of anger, you always have to give some chance, let the sun shine in!" ”

At 23:07, a hotel in Xiasha University Town, Hangzhou, spread the festive BGM of "good luck, good luck to us".
7 is Xiaohang's lucky number, and "Good Luck Coming" is Xiaohang's koi song.
Under the blessing of the "mana" of the double lucky, after memorizing the key points for the last time, Xiao Hang felt that the lucky value that must be passed tomorrow has risen a lot.
In Xiao Hang's view, playing "Good Luck" is an indispensable SSR-level prop in all the "pre-pumping preparations" related to "smoking" in his life.
This method was used by Amway, a netizen in the NetEase Cloud Comment Area, after watching "Shy Iron Fist".
"Good Luck Coming" listened to for 3 consecutive days, left a message in the comment area to make a wish and liked at least 10 people, plus the "XX must be in the middle" Huang Fufa circle of friends, the whole process came down many times, Xiaohang successfully completed the undergraduate graduation defense, drew license plates, and shook the "popular fried chicken" section, including but not limited to.
After several experiments, he did not hesitate to share this "earthwork" with his friends around him.

The enthusiasm of this young man, represented by Xiao Hang, has become more and more inflated.
Taobao buy charms, suck European gas, forward Yang Chaoyue, all kinds of Ziwei dou number gossip sentences... The endless "confusion and superstition" has become the devotion exclusive to young people. It even violently lowered the average age of a wave of believers in Beijing's Lama Temple, Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, and Nanjing Jiming Temple.
According to the data of an Internet fortune telling survey released by NetEase Digital Reading in early March, 62.05% of young people under the age of 30 have had the experience of "metaphysical life change" such as horoscope compass and tarot divination.
The so-called "believe it or not" question may really have nothing to do with age and education. The large wishing pool of "Good Luck" has more than 500,000 comments, the number of license plates drawn from the house, the hidden money drawn from the card opening box, the list of ideal university wishes, the prayer for a successful marriage proposal, the negative nucleic acid test, and even the figure of a large number of wishing troops...
Coincidentally, this musical blessing metaphysics does not operate only in Good Luck. Many Yuncun villagers have integrated a song list containing good luck energy for various blessings, cards, blind boxes, and lottery colleagues to choose the corresponding BGM according to their own needs.

"Good Luck" dominates, the song list is diverse, and this kind of music metaphysics system with many super and many strengths seems to have been formed in NetEase Cloud. And this kind of blessing metaphysics has also spread to the outside of the station, with the suspicion of "human-to-human transmission", #RISE signing will sing good luck to # to discuss, # Li Yifeng will not sing good luck to # also on the hot search.
Xiao Hang said that after contacting more and more of his fellow examinees, "Good Luck Coming" has become a small explosive point in their long sea of questions. Tired and sleepy, Dong Peng's drink occasionally fails, but "Good Luck Coming" will not fail to live up to their efforts.
If the examination is the weight of young people to bless their own lives, then "Good Luck" is the "signature" of modern young people.
02, the garage sucks decadence, "everyone is their own architect"
NetEase cloud music users @XY_ Ye
23:00, garage in a residential area in Beijing.
If nothing else, every weekday, after parking the car, Brother Sprinkler has to "give himself time for three songs." Brother Shang, a non-famous native of Beijing after the 90s, works in Xi'erqi and has to drive 2 hours a day to return to his home in Tongzhou.
When adults reach a certain age, private time becomes extremely precious, the boss's during the day, overtime at night, and the wife and 3-year-old daughter on weekends.
Sociologists say that humans are social animals. But after living in groups for a long time, you will want to have a little bit of a "one-person world". Brother Sharma confessed that he didn't know when it started, his favorites changed from bars and game halls to garages and toilet cubicles...
In the dim parking lot, Shango no longer insists on efficiency. After expertly plugging in the electric car, he turned on the specially upgraded car stereo and charged himself.

Under the constant massage of music, this man who spoke fast during the day and his brain spun quickly, seized the time to slow down. At this time, The Brother of Sprinkler only left himself with one identity, the listener.
Turn the volume of the carplay to a larger scale, sprinkle the whole body of the brother, adjust a comfortable position to lean on the seat. Without much effort to think, he flicked the app a few times, and he picked a song list of "30 Years of Chinese Rock".
"Don't Break My Heart", "People Without Ideals Don't Be Sad", "Road Song"... Tonight, Shango will use this extremely tense punk music to give himself a tense day's nerves to massage the reverse stimulation.
This is the 35th song list that has been ordered by Shango, and it is obvious that the commotion has reached his hi point. Brother Shang can't remember when he changed his taste, such as "childhood memories of the post-90s" and "chinese music fairy fights after the millennium", and his favorite song lists have gradually sunk to the bottom.

"It may be a kind reminder to me not to be physiologically still after 90, and the psychology is prematurely transitioning to greasy middle-aged men", Brother Shang lamented the gradual "maturity" of his recommended song list.
Nothing special happens, and you don't have to find three-quarters of the answer to your life in a song. In this way, The Brother is spread out in the car without lights, and the only light source comes from the lyrics scrolling on the car screen.
One light, one dark, one light, one dark, one light, one dark...
It's not necessarily limited to money that makes people fast, there must be music that makes people slow down.
03, the Buddha is very busy, "a simple heart I simply give you, turn all your problems into no problem"
NetEase Cloud Music users @h3R3
Legend has it that every night at 23:00, the Buddha could not be a Buddha and became very busy.
During the peak period of listening to songs, the Buddhas will usher in a small peak of purifying the hearts of young people who put the Great Compassion Mantra on their mobile phones.
At least, this legend, Warp is a firm believer.
Warp is a new media player. 007's work rhythm, inspiration that does not always gush out, and party A's colorful requirements all make her very impatient.
Figure | Anxiety in young people
She has looked for many ways to decompress, but none of them seem to be ideal. Travel, even if you change the environment, you can't escape the online noise of "in the middle of it", "disturbed, please check the modification opinion". Running fitness can improve dopamine secretion, and it is often dragged down by the work and laziness of 007.
One night, the sound of the subwoofer "Great Compassion Mantra" flashed on the side of the road, and she thought that the bodhisattva had ridden out of the pudu sentient beings on the side of the road. After a burst of "scolding X", the warp, which is extremely good at catching the phenomenon, opened the Great Compassion Curse.
After auditioning several times and rummaging through the comments section to determine that the song was "hypocillhibital", Warp opened the door to a new world of stress.
Figure | "The Great Compassion Curse" is on the hot search of NetEase Cloud Music
According to the incomplete statistics of Warp, "The Great Compassion Curse" is the song that is most often on the hot search list besides "Good Luck Coming". In the comments section, many users said that "The Great Compassion Curse" is a kind of magical music that seems "ridiculous" but cannot be separated from once you have heard it.
On this point, Warp agrees very much. Although he doesn't understand the Buddhist language, every time he opens the Great Compassion Mantra and only listens to the beginning, he instantly has the feeling of escaping from the hustle and bustle of the city and being in the sea of bamboo.
"When listening to the Great Compassion Mantra, you will feel that the surrounding area is suddenly very quiet, and the picture in your mind is also full of the tranquility of nature: occasionally one or two birds flapping their wings and skimming by, the wind is not fast, the insects are not harsh at all", this kind of soul swimming sense makes the tight nerves of the warped and tight get a lot of comfort.
According to her calculations, listening to the Great Compassion Mantra in the dead of night will be at least 15 minutes faster than not listening. Of course, "The Great Compassion Mantra" is not only for Qiao Qiao to listen to before falling asleep, but also very suitable for party A whenever it is said to use the first version.
The funny thing is that she was not ready to stay in NetEase Cloud Music, and after getting a new App, she found that the version of "The Great Compassion Curse" that she often listened to was not quite right, and she uninstalled it decisively and returned to the village.
She said that the Buddha was very busy, and people who did not end up all the time were not without the possibility of being ignored.
When she saw the 2020 song list that she had listened to "The Great Compassion Mantra" 131 times, Qiao Qiao said that this was the sense of certainty she found in her self-pity and self-driven choices.

"When I was in the song list of "Listen when I was particularly angry", I saw "The Great Compassion Curse" and "Watch Me Use the Great Jade Spiral Pill to Burst through the Door of Your Brain!" "Your ex-boyfriend", "My wish is to be a broad wife", "I am not your yuan" These songs join forces, the kind of state that just looks at the song title and laughs to the flying state, especially decompression! ”
Faith is there, faith is the spirit, as long as the Buddhas are busy on the clouds, they can solve the troubles, in the eyes of young people is not a thing.
04, Music G-spot "What is the ceremony?" The little prince asked, and the fox told him, "It is to make a certain day different from other days, a certain moment different from other times." ”
NetEase Cloud Music user @ mickyxixi321
People who can enter the time of the music sages are naturally cool. Over time, this music has become his own G-spot, symbol, and ritual sense.
This sense of ritual applies not only to people, but also to all things. Have you ever wondered why the sprinkler truck, a rough-acting hard-core tool car that sprinkles on the road, and the BGM that has remained unchanged for thousands of years will always be a "delicate" song such as "Happy Birthday" and "Orchid Grass"?
It is said that the hot-blooded young Han Han once specifically questioned the Hubei Chengli sprinkler truck manufacturer, and the answer was: "The sprinkler horn is a chip player customized by the outsourcing manufacturer, and it is a few fixed tracks to get back." ”
Whether it is the original intention of the sprinkler or not, almost all the people of the country will use "Orchid Grass" and "Happy Birthday" as the indispensable endorsement of the "early warning signal" of the sprinkler.

Music is the symbol. This sense of sprinkler-style ritual is also derived from the daily behavior of various young people who use music as a title.
Young people will share their favorite music to dynamics, weibo, circle of friends, in order to show themselves. When you go on a blind date, you may use the song that the other party likes to knock on the side of the character.
Since then, songs are no longer just for listening. The song is no longer just a "player". Music is so wonderful, maybe not a necessity of life, but it is certainly a spice for emotions, whether it is healing or healing. Of course, if you can help these young people find a little sense of ceremony in it, you can't ask for it.

<h2>05" "During the day, I am nothing, and only at night do I become myself."</h2>
NetEase Cloud Music User @ Seed Brother_
Half a month ago, at 23:12, Qiao Qiao got off work and hailed a ride-hailing car, probably because the northeast driver master looked at the share of renting in the same community as her and talked about it.
asked him how the navigation turned off the sound.
The master said it was to listen to the song.
"What are you listening to right now?"
The master took off the headphones, opened the amplifier, and jumped to Jing's "No Deletion": "These treasure songs of mine are all stolen by the little sisters who pulled to the night show when they went to work, and they secretly listened to the songs and read the songs." You don't say that their taste is really good, it is worthy of a group of people with stories. ”
At the end of the song, the master suddenly said that he would return to the northeast when he had earned enough money.
That tone is even less of a northeastern uninhibited tone.
At 23:00, the "Music Sage Time" of Chinese young people is welcome to enter the seat.
