Analysis:
Pop songs
The so-called pop music refers to instrumental music and songs that are short in structure, popular in content, lively in form and sincere in emotion, and are loved by the broad masses, widely sung or appreciated, popular for a while and even passed down to future generations. These music and songs are rooted in the rich soil of public life. Therefore, it is also called "popular music".
Pop music originated from American jazz music. At the beginning of the 2th century, a kind of jazz music composed of multi-ethnic cultures appeared in America. This new music, with its unique way of playing (singing), refreshed the audience's eyes and ears, caused a sensation throughout the United States, and soon spread throughout western Europe.
Today, pop music contains a wide range of contents. In instrumental music, it includes rich and colorful light music, jazz, swing dance, disco dance, tango dance, waltz, dance music with different styles and music of various small operas.
Instrumental music works in pop music are characterized by clear rhythm, relaxed and lively or lyrical beauty, various playing methods, changeable acoustics, rich colors, simple texture level, small band size, and electroacoustic instruments are mostly used in modern works. The characteristics of vocal music works are: rich flavor of life, lyrical, humorous, wide range, popular techniques, smooth tunes and easy to sing; Lyrics are often written in the language of life, which is simple and easy to be accepted and sung by listeners. Singers are mostly pop stars of their own, and their vocal methods are different. They are not bound by the vocal school. When singing, their feelings are more important than their vocal skills, and they are dynamic and free, natural and kind, which is easy to cause the audience to sing. The strong accompaniment of the small band is integrated with the singing. Because pop music has the above characteristics, it can be connected with the masses, and it is easy to accept regardless of the level of education.
Pop music is also popular music. As a popular cultural phenomenon with entertainment as the mainstay, the development of pop songs is closely related to the context of social development, and it has become a part of daily life. Especially after the 199s, with the opening up of national policies, the content forms of pop songs have become more diversified and more deeply rooted in people's hearts. The pop music in the 199s has changed widely and is close to our growing background. However, popular songs are not only art, but also entertainment and spiritual sustenance. They are also realistic records reflecting people's lives and even indicators of popular thought and ideology.
The songs we listen to now, such as Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, A Mei and other singers, all belong to pop music.
The main difference between pop music and other mass media is that pop music has three characteristics:
1. Pop music is a repetitive form: the theme connotation of pop music is constantly repeated, and it has the ability to penetrate the consciousness of readers.
2. Pop music is mostly non-narrative: it emphasizes the physical, physiological and sensory abilities of the recipients.
3. Pop music is an empirical form: music belongs to the field of art rather than science, and it is an experience of an experience.
However, it is an obvious problem that children's music consumption is too adult. Popular children's songs such as "Little Boy" and "Where is Spring" almost disappeared among children. Instead, adult pop songs, love songs and shallow "alternative children's songs" and "adult children's songs" which are not suitable for children to sing are popular in primary and secondary schools. Pop songs have a strong influence on people's cultural life, but its negative influence cannot be underestimated. Pop songs are mostly spiritual pastimes for adults, but children get involved in such "emotional" expressions prematurely, and some spiritual rubbish takes advantage of it. At present, children's songs popular in primary and secondary schools, some vent negative weariness and exaggerate the negative social impact; Some of them are pornographic and violent, full of low taste. For example, "in my heart, the teacher is the fiercest, making up lessons until 9 o'clock at night;" Back home, my mother is the fiercest, staring at homework and never relaxing; When my parents are away, I am the most fierce, punching and kicking, venting! " "It's hard to go to school, it's tiring to go to school, and you have to pay tuition. It's better to join the underworld, have food and drink and have status" and so on.
The "Ten Major Injuries" of Contemporary Lyrics
Since the reform and opening up, popular songs have enriched the spiritual life of ordinary people. However, the spread of some songs with unhealthy contents has caused a great negative impact on society, especially misleading the majority of teenagers.
The lyrics of some popular songs are grammatically confusing and illogical, full of sick sentences, and full of "hard wounds". "Clean up language garbage and purify the language environment!" The linguist's appeal is turned into action. Let's start with the lyrics.
As we all know, lyrics belong to the category of auditory art, which is a literary style based on word of mouth. Once it is inserted with the wings of music, it has a wide spread and great influence, which cannot be compared with novels, poems and other literary styles. Therefore, the lyrics should be worthy of literature and not inferior to music. Regrettably, the lyrics of some popular songs are "illogical, unreasonable in arts and sciences, with many language diseases, all over, and terrible". Its manifestations can be summed up as "ten major injuries":
First, the content is absurd and incoherent. There is a song called "God bless the people who have finished eating", which sings: "I really dare not want to ascend to heaven alive/just want to live/waste the rest of my time correctly/stay in the abdomen ..." This kind of vulgar and absurd lyrics is endless, and its toxic effect on teenagers is also obvious at a glance, which not only pollutes the language environment, but also numbs people's minds and even instigates crimes.
second, the whole language is rubbish, and there are many sick sentences. There is an MTV called "Very Injured", in which the female singer sings with emotion, singing and dancing, and repeatedly sings "In the days without you, I am very injured, very injured, and injured everywhere ...", which is repeated several times, which really worries people. Will it cause "cancer" after being "injured"?
third, big talk, cliche. This kind of songs all have the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, such as "I am the Jade Emperor and I am the Dragon King" and other "Great Leap Forward Folk Songs", as well as repeated copies of "Yangtze River, Yellow River", "Kunlun Mountain and Mount Tai", with big words, lies and nonsense flying all over the sky. Contemporary lyrics seem to have the spirit of "Cultural Revolution" coming back. The song "Work hard" of CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2 is to preach with common sense and nonsense, such as "Work hard to have a good life" and "Make more innovations and achievements". In short, it will only scare the people with vernacular.
Fourth, I am confused and talk in my sleep. In the 2 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, songs such as Tonight is Long, Dragon Jubilee Millennium, Wild Fantasy in the West, etc., just looking at the title of the song makes people fall into a sea of fog, and their creations are shoddy, let alone, "new in meaning and new in scenery", so their artistry is discounted and can't stand scrutiny.
five, imitation and show, shoddy. A phenomenon in literary creation is that excellent works are different, while inferior works are often strikingly similar: For example, Make a Phone Call is a copy of Visit Home Often, and I wish you happiness is a low-level repetition of I wish you peace.
six, half earth and half ocean, neither donkey nor horse. Some lyricists and musicians have always been half-full of vinegar in their understanding of classical poetry, but they just don't fool others and make big jokes. For example, there are many fallacies in sentences such as "only taking pains and being good" and "being alone hurts secretly", with one wrong sentence and even a few wrong sentences everywhere.
seven, empty and tasteless. From "Northwest Wind" to "Rock Tide", straightforward, empty, oily and overflowing modern love themes, artificial and disease-free "jingles" and "Four Seasons Songs" flooded the screen, polluting national languages and doing great harm.
eight, the words are not expressive and the grammar is confusing. Lyrics are the art of language, and there are rules to follow in grammar, rhetoric and structure. Looking at the ci world, there are many people whose lips are not right, and whose prefaces are not right. Like "mountains and mountains", "morning flowers and evening cups of wine", "true love is not enough" and so on, grammar is "hard to hurt", and words, nonsense and nonsense are everywhere, which makes people unable to understand. No wonder many teachers complain bitterly and worry when they mention the phenomenon of "quoting lyrics" in students' compositions.
9. Violating the rules and regulations is self-contradictory. The artistic image is vague and shallow, the style of expression is low, and the lyrics are contradictory. If it is allowed to overflow, the negative social effects can not be underestimated. There is a hit song named "Garbage Dump", which sings: "The world we live in is like a garbage dump/people are like bugs in it. What you fight for/eat is conscience ..." So the "odor" emitted by "Garbage Dump" is not what environmental pollution is.
ten, self-pity, no disease * * *. Some songs escape from reality, have a low style, hurt spring and grieve autumn, and are disease-free. Absurd songs such as "Flies" and "Ants" are disgusting just because of their titles, and they have been made into cassettes and MTV in public, making them on the charts.
to heal the "hard wound" of lyrics requires the concerted efforts of the whole society. The media in ci circles should advocate criticism, and ci writers should welcome criticism. Musicians, especially lyricists, should start from me, strive to improve their creative level, practice their basic skills, face the future with a quiet and far-reaching mind, and write a good ode to the new century.
