My cousin is a man who knows everything about rock music. When I was a student in middle school, I was a cult of him so that I became a rock fan. About sever or eight years ago he recommended a song “yellow” by coldplay -- that is my first time to touch the world of “Britpop”. After that, I completely became a crazy fan of Britpop music.
“Britpop” is a British alternative rock movement which occured in the 1990s. It was characterised by the appearance of bands who borrowed influences from 1960s and 1970s while creating big, catchy hooks, as well as the appeal of earlier pop stardom and the sense that they were creating the soundtrack to the lives of a new generation of British youth. It was very popular between 1990 to 2000. In that time, many Britpop bands appealed and occupied the top seat of every ranking list. We call it “Britpop new wave”.
Before being a fan of Britpop music, I was listening to other rock band such as Bon Jovi, Queen or Linkin Park. In my opinion, the biggest difference between Britpop and the other rock style is that britpop music is more melodic; it has some flavours which you can not find in other rock music. Generally, those musicians express their emotion in a louder, harder and more emotional style. But the Britpop has the other style for expressing: the unique, distressed, dramatic and gorgeous is their way. They do not shout during the entire song, but you are touched deeper compare with Linkin Park style.
Nowadays there are many famous Britpop band in the world. No wonder the most famous two bands are radiohaed and coldplay. Here I would like to present a song for you (although it is damn hard to pick up a song in their abundance fantastic songs). “Fix you”, by coldplay in their album “X & Y”.
Summary and Response
Recently the scientists have created a technique which can improves the performance of musicians. It is called “neurofeedback”. The scientists collect the objects ` brain activity through sensors attached to the scalp and then transform it to the form of a video game displayed on a screen. The subjects learn to control the game by altering aspects of their brain activity. According to the research, the technique can improve by an average of 17% and some objects are improved by 50%. By the way, it was applied to treat epilepsy, alcoholism, attention deficit and post-traumatic stress disorders.
In my opinion, it is a good try for improving musicians ` performance in a physical way, which was applied to medical fields. Which is controversial is that the idea “ music talent is from the God” has been in people `s mind since music existed. People always think that music is such a sacred thing and musician is also a unique occupation which is different from other jobs. Therefore, people are not like and do not believe that physical could be really helpful and build a connection with music performance. In contrary, I do not agree with this point of view. Nowadays, musicians are involved of societies much more than fifty or sixty years ago. Also, considering using scientific ways to improve music performance is a surging current in the world. I can not determine it is a good way but it is a good try. Human `s history is written by failed tries. If we do not try new ways, we could not evolve. For example, almost everyone hate so-called “new music”, they prefer the “classic music”. But today `s classic music was yesterday `s “new music”! Besides, every great inventions are from thousands times tries. Therefore, I think we should be open to these kinds of new things.
