Rocking Life…
The Way to Rock Life…
Life sucks…well at lease thats wat most of them feel about it…but why does it suck???…people say life sucks because they dont get to do the things they want or they dont get the things they want…I know of many people who used to say their life sucked…They had many reasons…Somefelt it was sucky cos their parents were too overprotective over them…some feel life sucks cos they aint got a gf or bf…some feel life sucks cause they dont have enough money…some feel life sucks cos they got nothing but misery…some feel life sucks cos they have a dead end job which pays them peanuts…some feel life sucks due to the neverending conflicts they face…and the list goes on…
But although life sucks, we can still change it…how?…by rocking it…According to Aaron Raj, "life sucks but we rock life"(2006, p.2)…in his book, Rocking Life, he relates life to the different type of rock categories we have…Among the different rock style categories we have include hard rock, alternative rock, punk rock, heavy metal rock, christian rock, soft rock, blues rock and many more…
The first kind of rock we should look at is Rock N Roll…This is the original form of rock music…Now how does rock and roll relate to life?…Well rock n roll is when the people who created u, rock n roll on the bed…now thats the first kind of rock u feel…when ur creators rock on the bed, they sometimes roll upon each other where a connection is made…and thats when the "N" comes in…thus, they rock N roll…and after that, u are created…From the moment ur parents rocked N rolled, u become a new life…a new rocking n rolling life….and once u meet the right person, u will rock n roll too continuing this tradition…
After that comes the growing up part…This is when we are exposed to British Rock…If we studied American Music and Popular Culture, we learn that the British Rock created a new trend of society in the United States…The same goes here, British Rock here refers to our exposure…When we see something new, we get addicted to it and it soon becomes part of our life…We make a new trend out of it…Like television…We dont know wat it is when we are kids but when we see others wathcing it, we tend to join them as well…
Folk rock is when we go to pre school…we learn all the folk musical rhymes and stuff…Folk stuff like saying Please and Thank You…its all folk culture…something old but still used till today…And when we go to primary and secondary school, we get pyschadellic and progressive rock…this are the hard times of life…like this rock songs, we too experience changes and feel a different form of lifestyle…something most of our parents would not understand…ANd we have heavy metal rock…heavy metal rock refers to us being loud and noisy like the music itself…we begin to rebble against others…during this time, some kids prefer soft rock and classical rock…where they become real softies or be more classic like their parents but with a little salt and spice added…
And then when we go to college, work or move out from our parents home, we have other kinds of rock music…Punk rock is when we end up like junkies…Disco is when we get old but like older stuff…New Age are for those wannabes who keep changing their preferences…they want to be modern and different…and then some of them go for hard rock where they really go down hard upon themselves and start to feel life sucks…and we have alternative rock, where we get the alternative things happening to us, e.g. u like girl but girl no like u…
Lastly we come to modern rock and indy rock…This is when we are full adults working and feel life sucks cos we never got the things we wanted…and then the best thing happens to u…u find that special person and the next thing u know, ur rocking N rolling with her or he…
So as we can see, life is like rock…It may suck but we can make it rock…
