说实在话，现在网上的流行歌曲越来越“刺激”，什么生僻字、芒种，还有绿色，只是堆砌辞藻一点内涵都没有，00后和90后的差别应该已经很大了吧。

许嵩是我初中时期的喜欢的网络歌手。08年前后那个时期流行“网络歌手”这个词，许嵩应该算是网络歌手里面最出色的吧，歌写得好、词也写得很棒。
那时，这算是当时流行的网络歌曲了。
那时，我会打开音乐软件，为下载了他的歌曲而高兴半天。感受年轻学生所谓的与众不同。

后来我已经不再关注什么歌曲流行了。
一下子十年就过去了，生活越来越浮躁，我想问，那些说许嵩歌“落伍”的同学们，你们在哪里呢？还会跟着00后哼歌吗？
同学说，许嵩是一个低调的人。
是啊，相比起当时“网络歌手”的他来说，他已经更加低调了，但还是有人默默喜欢他的音乐。… ...➔➔➔
