This is an article about Rock Music! Most of u will
think this is a crap cuz everyone knows what is rock music!! But, In INDIA
there is more mis-conception than conception about Rock.
At the beginning of this article, I want to say that
there is no particular definition of Rock Music. This article is based on my
take on Rock. Yours may be different. You can go ahead and write your own in
the ‘comments’ box.
FOR ME, Rock Music is not just a genre of music.
But, Its a combination of philosophy and music. It’s a lifestyle. Its the way I
think about things around me. From politics to superstition to Love. Anything,
in my way. That’s why I always say that ROCK cannot have a particular
definition. In any other form of music, this is not possible because, in my
opinion, they don’t have such philosophy.
Some people (especially in India) say, that Rock is
not a serious form of Music because its very loud and don’t soothe their ears.
To those people, I want to ask a question- When do you talk loud or scream? Its
when you are in an extreme position. The same happens to rock. Its about
Revolution. And, in revolution you can’t be in a low mode. You have to be
extreme cuz you have to change the world. When I can’t tolerate something and
want to break-free, that’s Rock to me.
Now-a-days, youngsters (I am too, but not among
them) think that rock is all about Long hairs, screaming & drugs. This is
completely a mis-conception. Of course, Rock is loud. But, it is not
meaningless.
So, I’ve finished my article. Maybe, its quite
boring to you. Do give your comments.
