[Discussion] How YouTube Keeps Rock Music Alive

Queen is a rock band that formed in 1971, but surprisingly, now it is becoming more and more popular among the Millennium generation. Besides the influence of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, the reasons for its popularity are also inseparable from social media, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Read on and we'll dig into what makes the band popular for a long time.

Queen, a British rock band that formed in London in 1971, is composed of lead singer Freddie Mercury (September 5, 1946 - November 24, 1991), guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Deacon.
 

Their earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their music. In addition to the early hit Bohemian Rhapsody, the classics we are familiar with are Radio Ga Ga, Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.
 

Queen has left an indelible mark in the history of rock music and even in the world music scene. Queen influenced almost all the heavy metal bands in the late 20th century. Its unique operatic rock music style guided the direction for the later avant-garde metal bands. Their flamboyant stage performances are often emulated by future generations.

Queen's immortal status in the music scene is like their Queen Elizabeth. The extraordinary honor and international influence forged by their rock music career in the past decades are beyond the description of many awards.
 

Unfortunately, Freddy Mercury died of AIDS in 1991. In 1997, the other three members gave its last live performance, then bassist John Deacon retired. It's a legend that Queen's popularity can last till now. However, it's incredible that the number of Queen's fans is still increasing now, even among youngsters.

The classics of songs can explain this legend, but the growth of young fans is incredible. After all, Queen is a band in the 70s and 80s. It is no longer active and there are no new music works. It is natural for young people to like many other pop singers or bands in the contemporary era. Let's discuss what is it that keeps Queen's band and rock music so popular to attract young fans.
 

Some young people start to know about Queen Band from the soundtrack of movies, such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions, We Will Rock You and Don't Stop Me Now. These are often used as soundtracks in popular movies. We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You, are still played each 4 years when we hold The World Cup.

The soundtrack of movies is not the main reason for attracting young people, because the movie's audiences are not entirely targeted at young people. Actually, social media and digital platforms are the carriers of music. Compared with music before the 21st century, the way people listen to music and pay attention to music has changed greatly due to the birth of the Internet.

A recent study shows that music is a major component of the online experience of most social media users. Another survey shows that a large proportion of social media users would follow the official accounts of some musicians, stars, and even use some platforms to listen to and share their favorite songs.

YouTube in particular, as the world's largest video website, has a huge impact on the music of the younger generation. There are lots of stars will release their new music on YouTube. It's also a key factor in increasing the number of young fans for Queen.
