Why Scream!?
Springscream is held this weekend which attracted estimated 300 thousand pilgrims. Take a look at the tour of DT to Taiwan years ago; it’s ironic that such a 1st class band can hardly attract less than 2 thousand audience. It made me hell curious to ask what’s the main motivation for so many people to go to such an event?
Reason 1: They are fans.
I have never recognized that they’re so many underground rock fans in Taiwan. Except some famous artists like Yang Nai Wen, Chen Chi Jen or Chairman, how many on earth can you guys really recognize? It goes without saying that they won’t even know what their music is. Therefore, reason 1 doesn’t sustain.
Reason 2: They are rock lovers.
What do you know about rock? Rock is not equal to “May Day” or “Bon Jovi”. They are pop rock. Take a look at the shelves in the record shops, there is only tiny space for rock and metal genre. What’s more important, they are usually covered with dust!! I can’t ever imagine these music were so disgraced if there are 300K supporters. Thus, neither does reason 2 sustain.
Reason 3: The performance is too great.
I’m not looking down on these bands or their music. Some magic bands were once the likes. But if you exposed to those 1st tier bands in the world which can rock you to tears, then you may hesitate to join this fair. This activity should be more exquisite instead of being a big outdoor pub for folks or even a showplace for posers or since I barely see something really outstanding. People who spend money and precious holidays should deserve something more worthwhile. Why not take this chance to introduce some best band worldwide instead of some hotchpotch of pop. Therefore, the answer is negative either.
Folks are heading to this fair without knowing which kind of performance they can expect. At most, it’s kind of a party for having fun or fashion pursuance, music is only the theme, pity.
Why I’m not going? Should you learn that the guitarist of Impellitteri could complete 18 notes within 1 second, the vocalist of Cradle of Filth screams like hell, the drummer of Dream Theater plays as if he had 4 hands and 4 feet, then you won’t even blink at such stuff. Actually I scream for whole year and whole life. No bother to shout at this specific time and place to prove I am a disciple.
We don’t need to rock to be cool or stylish. We rock because we like rock. So, step off! posers!
