A music genre that more people have prejudices about than you'd think: Rock. That's right, it's Rock!!! Usually, if I say "I like band music/rock music!", people go "Whaaaaat~~~?? Rock music?????" "Isn't rock music like... you know? Long hair, leather jackets, and you have to wear pants with chains, and it's just totally lawless cafe.daum.net

That's right, it's Rock!!!
Usually,
"I like band music/rock music!"
if I say that,
"Whaaaaat~~~??? Rock music"
"Isn't rock music like that????"
"Long hair, leather jackets, and you have to wear pants with chains"
"And jumping around screaming 'Kiyoooooo!' in a venue that's a total lawless wasteland??????"
"Jjukppang, you didn't look like that, you have such unique taste..."
(Me watching this)
Ah f*ck, I told you it's not like that;
The image the listener is thinking of above is often the image of ^Metal Rock^.
Of course, Metal Rock is indeed rock music!
But because the scope of rock music is very broad,
it's a stretch to limit the breadth of rock music to just that.
~~ The image of rock that typical rock fans think of ~~
Isn't rock all about peace, my dudes...
Of course, rock music like Heavy Metal mentioned above is also rock music!
But rock fans who like Heavy Metal are relatively few!
Recently, genres like Modern Rock and Alternative Rock have been trendy, and those genres have many fans!
To give a few examples of artists who play "rock music":
The eternal legends of rock, The Beatles
Sugar, Moves Like Jagger, etc.
Maroon 5, who have countless bangers
(Also famous for their sing-along videos)
Coldplay, who performed at the Olympic closing ceremony with bangers like Viva la Vida and Fix You
and sold out the Jamsil Olympic Stadium for two consecutive days
Fall Out Boy, who have bangers like The Phoenix and Centuries
and are famous in Korea for the "Bbam-bbam-bbam-bbam-bba" New Journey to the West BGM and their collab with BTS
Fall Out Boy
Nell, the face of Korean Modern Rock,
who created countless bangers like Time Walking on Memory
Even after appearing on Infinite Challenge,
they continue to release many bangers like TOMBOY
Hyukoh
GuckKasten, the band with our neighborhood's music boss Ha Hyun-woo as the vocalist
GuckKasten
and so on!!!
(There are too many others like Buzz, YB, Sangsang-yong, etc., so I'll skip them because there are really too many)
Artists who play rock music have very diverse musical colors
and each has their own unique personality.
And even among rock fans,
there are many who find this hand sign awkward,
are scared of slamming, which is the symbol of rock festivals,
(TMI: 10cm is performing on stage)
(Warning: slightly disturbing photo)
and absolutely hate this kind of fashion.
And obviously,
singers don't wear such uncomfortable clothes on stage... lol
Even the people below are the legends of ^Metal^ rock, Metallica,
but they aren't wearing leather jackets at the venue?
...Anyway, that's how it is.
I think it's partly because rock is often portrayed in the media as a symbol of rebellion.
(Of course, the "couch" stereotype played a part lol)
But the most important thing is,
whether we listen to Heavy Metal or Modern Rock,
just because someone listens to ^rock music^ or any other genre,
you shouldn't judge their taste.
Hmm, how should I end this?
If there's a problem, Fall Out Boy and Arctic Monkeys come to Korea.
If there's no problem, Fall Out Boy and Arctic Monkeys hold solo concerts in Korea.
