Chapter 66 Young and old

"They are old!" The woman snuggled into the man's shoulder with tears in her eyes: "The first time I heard their songs was when you played the guitar and sang to me downstairs in my dormitory."

Zhou Yiyang and Hu Die shivered, and they both wanted to comfort the crying woman. Who knew that the other person's backhand was a bowl of dog food.

"Yeah, it's been twenty years now, right? I can't even play the guitar now. They are getting old, and so are we."

It's just that this dog food is a little bit sad.

The first song is a famous song by Geek Boy. When the intro starts, the whole audience can sing along.

The lead singer's voice is no longer what it used to be, but the hoarse voice adds a sense of sadness to the passing of time to the song.

"I don't know why," Wang Xingrui suddenly rubbed her eyes: "Listening to their songs, I suddenly want to cry."

For geeky kids, this song means a lot to them.

Before that, the Geek Boys were just an underground band. They used their roars to express their anger and their lyrics to fight back against injustice.

Until one day, they suddenly released a love song. Several rock and roll youths known for their radicalness suddenly sang a gentle love song, which caused great controversy at first.

However, the song became a hit and brought Geek Kid into the mainstream music circle.

The lead singer sang lyrics that have been sung thousands of times, but what appeared in front of him were young years.

"If there is no response to this song, the company will consider terminating your contract."

Five grown boys huddled together on a big bed, playing instruments in their hands, with confidence in their eyes.

"We will definitely succeed this time." The drummer back then was not so fat.

"Bullshit," snorted the bassist, who still had long hair back then. "But our souls are dead!"

"If we don't do this, our bodies will starve to death!" The lead singer stretched out. In order to write this song, he didn't sleep for almost three days.

The next scene was them standing on the stage of the Golden Melody Awards and winning the Best New Artist.

They succeeded and went from being an unknown underground band to becoming the new idols of the public.

It's just that the few fans who supported them in the first place also left them.

When the song ended, there was a lot of crying.

Zhou Yiyang glanced at the barrage, seeming to be recalling his youthful years.

The second song was the most popular song by Geek Boy during his peak period.

That year, their album not only won the annual crown in Baodao, but also became popular in mainland China.

The songs of the Geek Boys were played on a loop on the radio. Everywhere they went, the seats were packed.

This is a disco song.

Music styles that are no longer popular are now being played, and it is actually difficult for new generations like Hu Die to resonate with them.

Zhou Yiyang, on the other hand, shook his head after hearing this.

But for fans of Geek Boy, this song is too familiar. When they lingered in discotheques, this song would never be absent from their ears.

But the music is still the same, and the five men on the stage can no longer dance like they did back then.

When it came to the high notes, the lead singer's voice broke directly.

He could see the fans underneath, and they didn't care about this flaw. But he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He still remembers that they sang on the Spring Festival Gala with this song. Although they sang it with several popular actors, it was their highlight moment.

That year, when he closed his eyes, he was greeted by the cheers of his fans.

What worries him is why there are so many announcements and there is no time to rest or spend money.

Just like now, they still appear in the finale, but it's not because of their seniority, but because they have the most fans.

But now, looking around, except for less than one-tenth of the fans in the front row, the rest are new generation fans like Bai Yueguang.

Tang Yue answered the phone, and her mother's voice was on the other end: "Daughter, please remember to ask your mother for the autograph of a geek boy later! Yes, your mother was their fan back then!"

When the second song ended, Zhou Yiyang looked at the barrage again. This time there were many more comments from passers-by.

"It's really unpleasant to hear..."

"Why did their breathing become unstable and their throats collapsed during the finale? Besides, there were several old men and no one knew the young ones!"

"Who still listens to disco? The country is dead! No wonder the Chinese music scene is dead. It's because Chinese people don't have a musical appreciation!"

Fortunately, the geek boys couldn't see the barrage and it wouldn't affect their performance.

The third song, which is also the last song tonight, the geek boy chose a song that almost everyone has never heard of.

"This song is the first song we wrote together when I met the four of them when I was in college. It was published that year, but unfortunately it didn't get any hits. This should be our second public performance."

The first time was in a small bar, and now that bar has long been sold to a milk tea shop.

It was the first time for the five of them to perform in public. They were very nervous and almost stumbled through the song.

The bar was very noisy that day and no one was listening to their singing.

However, they still sang the song with great devotion. At that time, they didn't care whether there were fans or not.

Just like now.

Five old men, they also know that they are out of date. Although they are respectfully called teachers when they appear on the show, no young people listen to their songs at all.

They held a concert last year, and the first one was full, with old fans coming to support it. But for the second one, only one-third of the people were seated.

This time they are the finale of the Raspberry Music Festival, and they also understand the reason: the price is low and the coffee seats are sufficient.

The lead singer suddenly remembered what his son said to him before going out: "Dad, don't go on Weibo."

"Why?"

"Because they don't know you, they are all asking the organizer why they invited an unknown band."

Fortunately, time has long taught them to accept these differences.

It's good to go from a band that no one knows to a band that has faded.

Zhou Yiyang turned his head, not wanting Hu Die to see his tears.

This should be the first time he heard the singing voices of other Geek Boys.

The five of them sat in a row, singing the first song in a narrative way under the warm light.

It's like a gathering of five old friends.

Su Yin sobbed for a while before saying, "Will we be like this in the future?"

"This is good," Tang Yue sighed: "How many bands and groups ended up going solo, leaving nothing but chicken feathers."

The music stopped, all five people picked up their instruments and gave a sincere kiss.

Seeing that scene, Zhou Yiyang's heart tightened, and he suddenly had a premonition.

"Actually, there is something else I want to tell you today," the lead singer scratched his head. "Our contract with our old club has expired. We are all old and can no longer sing or dance, so today is Geek Boy

The last performance."

The fans in the audience, the artists backstage, and the audience in the live broadcast room were all shocked.

This news was so shocking that they couldn't digest it for a while.

The lead singer didn't care, he patted the drummer's shoulder and said softly: "Ali, the number one drummer in Baodao, but unfortunately he's still single. Can you guys introduce him to a date?"

The fans cried and agreed.

Then he walked towards the guitarist: "Da Hui, he is actually a painter. You must go to future art exhibitions, please!"

Then came the bassist: "Brother Long, my college roommate, recently opened a restaurant, and my friends invited Geek Boy to eat there and get a 20% discount!"

Finally, the keyboard: "Xiao Yang, the youngest among us, is also the happiest. We have children and a rich wife, so we can go back and enjoy our happiness!"

After talking about the others, the lead singer pointed to himself: "As for me, I am just an ordinary person. Because of them and you, I am where I am today. Goodbye!"
