C18 Punk Girl(1)
Upon hearing Zhou Jianxiang's words, Qin Fengge replied without hesitation, "That's simple. Of course it's a punk."
"But I prefer metal music." Zhou Da Tong raised an objection. This was a question that the two of them had argued many times before, but had not been able to get an answer to. Thus, the two of them once again began discussing the style of the band.
"What would it be like if we combined metal and punk?"
Qin Fengge thought for a moment and said, "Although this is a rather novel combination, I'm afraid there isn't any precedent at home or abroad. How do we combine them? How do you deal with the relationship between punk and metal? I don't think we can do it with our current strength. We can only do our best to imitate, or learn from, a mature style. "When we have a certain amount of experience and a certain amount of understanding about music, we can explore new forms of music. What we need to do now is to constantly imitate others and learn from their strengths, rather than to be the first person to eat crab.
In this way, Qin Fengge rejected the notion of "punk metal". A few years later, when a Canadian band, SUM41, became famous for its new musical concept of metal + punk, Qin Fengge deeply regretted her hasty rejection. But right now, Qin Fengge is only a child who hasn't reached the age of eighteen. There are still many limitations to his thinking, so we can't blame him for his hasty actions.
Eventually, the band's style was defined as "New School Punk," a form of music generally accepted in both the West and the East, characterized by a simple melody that has a more popular potential than other types of rock music.
Obviously, Zhou Datong had made a big concession to the style of the band, and his reasons for doing so seemed quite straightforward. It was that punk music was relatively simple, without so many complex SOLOs and chords, and the drumbeats were relatively simple as well. Although Qin Fengge could already play some of the more complex SOLO, being able to play did not mean that he could also create similar songs. At that time, Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong's ability to compose music was almost zero.
Very soon, a very distinctive recruitment poster was posted on the school's message board.
Why is the information column posted only to schools not posted more widely? The reason was simple, because on Qin Tuesdays, everyone thought that other than the two of them, there would definitely be others who liked rock and roll. It was just that they didn't know each other beforehand. Since there are people who like rock and roll, there must be people who can play Bes or guitar, and it doesn't seem hard for the guitarist to turn around and play Bes. The other reason why they posted it at school was because both of them wanted the bassist to be of the same age as the other, and didn't want the age difference between them to be too great. If this poster were to be posted in the society and eventually attract an older bassist, putting aside whether the music idea was acceptable or not, just from the appearance alone, it would seem extremely incongruous.
Let's talk about the school information bar. What is in the Information Bar? Clearly, this was a place where information could be freely posted. There were all kinds of information, including student's dating information, small advertisements for training courses, some satirical poems about teachers, and even advertisements for people in small clinics.
The advantage of having a poster posted here was that many people would see it, while the disadvantage was obvious. It was that the poster would be covered by other information in less than a day. If your information doesn't show its worth before it is buried, the only way to do it is to repost it, even repeating it two or three times a day, until the goal is achieved.
Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong produced a total of three recruitment posters. The two didn't want to spend all their time on making posters before recruiting bass players, so they came up with a lousy idea. They wrote down the names of two people on the posters, stating that they were not allowed to tear them up or hide them, or else they would face the consequences. From then on, this poster was always in a eye-catching position in the message board. No one dared to cover their own information because both Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong were famous' Heavenly Kings' in the school. They could not afford to offend one of them, let alone a pair.

Half a month had passed, and still no one had come looking for him. Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong were not discouraged; they were still stubbornly waiting for him. At the same time, Qin Fengge used his classroom time to try to write some lyrics. Although the punk music was short and the lyrics didn't require any poetry, he still racked his brain because it wasn't easy to embody rebellious thoughts, punk ideas, and many other things in the lyrics.
Zheng Xiaoqiu, who was sitting next to Qin Fengge, also gave her advice. Although the latter didn't like or understand rock and roll, his rebellious nature allowed him to say things that seemed outrageous but contained certain philosophy. This was something that Qin Fengge did not have.
With the help of Zheng Xiaoqiu, Qin Fengge finally wrote a more appropriate lyrics:
"You think you're standing on a high platform,
We can be deprived of our freedoms and rights.
Do you think you've taken out the rules and regulations,
We will do as you say.
You think you look like a man of honor,
It can blind our eyes.
You think you've nurtured us so hard,
We'll be grateful to you.
Teacher, stop pretending!
I can see the lie in your eyes!
Teacher, stop pretending!
I can see the lie in your eyes!
Teacher, stop pretending!
I can already see the lies in your eyes! '
During the break, Qin Fengge took this piece of lyrics to find Zhou Datong and asked him to make some suggestions and suggestions. But after walking around in the third year of high school, he didn't find any traces of Zhou Datong. The smart Qin Fengge realized that she would definitely find him if she went to the second year of high school.
Sure enough, at this moment, Zhou Datong was holding onto the twelfth grade girl's hand and saying something intimately. Qin Fengge snuck up behind Zhou Datong and took the opportunity when he wasn't paying attention to give him a sudden cough.
This cough gave Zhou Datong a fright. He thought it was his teacher, so he quickly let go of her arm. However, when he turned around to see Qin Fengge snickering maliciously, he immediately felt embarrassed. Qin Fengge forcefully stopped smiling and passed the lyrics she had just composed to Zhou Datong. Although Zhou Datong preferred metal, it didn't mean that he didn't know much about punk music. He chanted it a few times in his mind before commenting, "Hmm, this song can be considered to be rather smooth. At the very least, it has one of the typical punk music features. It's rebellious."
Jing Jiannan also took the lyrics with interest. However, no matter how she looked at it, it was not a lyrics, but more like a bad student who secretly scolded his teacher, the kind that was not very neat at all. Zhou Datong took back the lyrics and smiled, saying, "Silly girl, this is what punk music should be like. If you ever see a punk praise the government's system or praise the education system, that would be refreshing!"
Zhou Datong said to Qin Fengge, "What's the name of this song?"
Qin Fengge thought for a moment. "Let's call it 'Stop pretending'."
The lyrics for the first song of the band were born. Although the lyrics weren't very fluent or even a little childish, don't forget that this was the first time Qin Fengge had written lyrics. We can't ask a child under the age of eighteen to write too many masterpieces.

In the evening, when the two of them were racking their brains for a suitable melody for the song, the door to the rehearsal room suddenly opened. A sexy girl with a zither bag on her back stood at the door and asked, "Are you two the ones who recruited bass players?"
The two of them looked up and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The girl's hair was short, her eyes were smeared with a thick shadow, and her lips were painted purple. She was wearing a white sweater that was thick but still couldn't hide her proud curves. She wore dark blue jeans with a few deliberate holes in the middle, revealing her white thighs. She wore high boots, the metal of which shone with a strange light. The most eye-catching part, however, was probably the pair of punk leather studs on her arms and wrists.
After a while, Qin Fengge regained her senses and said, "That's right, this is the place. Please come in!"
The girl put down her zither bag and lazily extended her right hand, which was covered in black nails, "My name is Wang Shiyin."
Qin Fengge quickly stepped forward to shake her hand, "Hello, what's your name, Wang? "Such a coquettish name, come on in."
"Wang Shiyin, you can also call me Vicky. Vicky is my English name." Wang Shiyin corrected him seriously.
"I'm Qin Fengge, everyone calls me Little Qin. He's called Zhou Da Tong, you can also call him Fatty. Don't just stand there, sit down." Qin Fengge gave her their names and invited Wang Shiyin to sit.
Zhou Datong asked, "Are you from our school? How come I've never seen you before? "
Wang Shiyin lightly said, "I just transferred here. Can you introduce the current situation of the band? "
"Of course you can," Qin Fengge introduced. "Our band's name is' mouthed ', so you should know that … Yes, smuggled audiovisual products seized by the customs. We want to use this name to express our view of youth, that it is two-sided and incomplete. Now that the band is in its infancy, we are all musicians who have just started to touch the instrument, with limited skill and without a single mature piece. "
"So if I join, the band will be officially established?"
Qin Fengge nodded. "You can say so. But the name and style of the band are fixed. "
"Punk?"
"Yes, 'New School Punk' to be exact."
Wang Shiyin considered for a moment before saying, "I think I'm up to it. Do you want to hear it?"
The two of them nodded in unison.
