Independent label: The history of rock music is not only about musicians, songwriters and producers. For many listeners, "label" is just a few small words in the humble position of records, but for veteran fans, music journalists and people in the record industry, "professionalism" and "independence" mean different things in essence.

Outside China, rock music has become the most popular music style in the 20th century, but this is due to the pioneers of many independent brands, who, as the source of innovation, created today's rock music with their own efforts and influence on major brands.

Extended data:

The difference between independent brands and big brands: independent brands can concentrate on discovering wonderful music and will not be tired of things like charts or sales. This is the happiest job. Just like 50 years ago, although they are still worried about poor distribution, tight budget and insufficient exposure, they will continue to exert influence on big brands as they did 50 years ago, so that rock music will never leave us.

Origin: After the end of World War II, that is, at the beginning of the birth of rock music, the recording industry was in the hands of several major brands: Cabido, MGM, Decca, Mercury, Columbia and RCA.

They farm safely in fields with pop music and put on special flavors such as R&; Audiences such as B and C & ampW are reserved for small regional brands. They think that the audience of "national" music and "rocks" is too small, and the talents in their planning department are not so developed.

Faced with crumbs from big brands, small companies must work harder to record, train artists and try to broadcast them on the radio. On the other hand, they can record some more creative and extroverted music without being bound by the established mode, which directly contributed to the birth of rock music and achieved commercial success.
