自身意义的消解——浅析当代流行音乐的特点

The Resolution of Musical Meaning——A Brief Analysis on the Characteristics of Contemporary Pop Music

流行音乐作为大众文化的一个重要方面,在当今消费时代和后现代文化语境下,其自身意义日益呈现出消解的趋势,具体表现在:歌词的主题单一、情感乏力;歌手的外在突出、内在欠缺;传播过程中包装过度、音乐本身的忽视以及听众在接受时消遣、娱乐的态度。这四个方面虽体现了流行音乐自由化、多元化的价值取向,然以绚丽的外在包装,平面化、无深度的演唱取代歌者内在魅力、音乐自身感染力的做法,却影响着听众对音乐的认识,在很大程度上解构音乐的教化意义,甚至制约着中国音乐的发展。

Pop music, as an important aspect of popular culture, has shown the trend of resolution in its meaning in today＇s era of consumption and the post-modem cultural context. The specific characteristics are as follows： the theme of the lyrics is monotonous, and lacks emotion; singers show their external beauty but are lack of internal beauty; the packaging is excessive and the music itself is neglected; the audience gives a recreational attitude. The above four aspects reflect the value orientation of pop music liberalization and diversity, but with the singers＇ inner charm and the pleasure of music itself have been replaced by glorious outer packaging and superficial singing, the audience＇ understanding of music has been greatly influenced. To a large extent, it deconstructs the significance of the music enlightenment and even restricts the development of Chinese music.
