大众文化里,流行音乐最能反映出一个时代中人们的精神风貌了。许巍和汪峰都是曾经的摇滚歌手,在摇滚乐日渐衰微的今天,他们的作品却获得了广泛的流行。这一方面由于他们成功地向流行音乐靠拢,另一方面,他们的作品的确给予了大众某些意义,而这些意义正是大众所需要的。许巍与汪峰的作品风格迥异,有着各自的受众群体;却又有着相同之处,那就是对现实的无奈。他们作品中流露的这种伤感让大众感受到了自己的失落,这些来自生活或理想的失落在他们的作品中映射出来,而大众的苦闷经由他们的音乐得以纾解。 In popular culture, popular music can best reflect the mental outlook of people in an era. Both Xu Wei and Wang Feng are former rock singers who have enjoyed a wide range of popular creations today as rock and roll decayed. On the one hand, because of their successful convergence with popular music, on the other hand, their work does give certain meaning to the general public, and these meanings are just what the general public needs. Xu Wei and Wang Feng’s work style is very different, with their own audience groups; but they have the same place, that is the helplessness of reality. The sadness revealed in their works made the general public feel their own loss, which is reflected in their works from the loss of life or ideals, and the public’s distress is relieved through their music.
