Chapter 172 The British Invasion

At the same time, after the program team announced that Xia Shen and Yueji Honghua were the first place winners of this round and successfully eliminated Aspirin, the online public opinion exploded.

At the same time, a barrage of negative comments about aspirin and overweight children also emerged.

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore! Why do they have such confidence when they're so ordinary?"

"Isn't it funny? You stubbornly gave low scores, but in the end, your dad was still eliminated by Xia Shen."

"Seriously, with your level of knowledge, what kind of music fan are you? You should just go home and farm. You know so little, yet you like to show off and try to teach others how to do things. It's only because Xia Shen has a good temper and a magnanimous personality that she hasn't confronted you. Try doing the same thing to Zhang Qiangwei and see if that old lady will confront you or not. Back then, Sister Qiangwei was known for her fiery temper."

"Good thing they were eliminated!"

"Damn it, I've disliked this idiot band for ages. They're so incompetent, yet they think they're so high and mighty. Now they're speechless? All-English stuff is high-class, and foreigners' stuff is real rock, huh? Now Xia Shen has brought out what you call the best stuff, what you think is real rock, and I'm sending you all packing up and sending you home!"

"Zhao Xiao Antibiotics, I've never understood where you got your confidence from. You were so confident before the match, but after being eliminated in the second round, you couldn't hold back and burst out laughing."

"You're a complete clown. Xia Shen releasing these two songs is practically giving you a proper burial."

"However, we should also thank them. The fact that they forced Xia Shen to write these two songs to fight back against them is the greatest contribution they have made in their entire rock career."

In an instant, aspirin's reputation plummeted.

Actually, this isn't really kicking someone when they're down; the people who can't stand this band didn't just appear out of nowhere.

Rather, it was because the public had long since reached their breaking point, and Xia Shen's work was eliminated without any controversy or suspense, which became the final indicator of the threshold.

The last straw that broke the camel's back!
At this point, faced with such a huge backlash from public opinion, and with the insults becoming increasingly severe, aspirin's fans dared not speak out any further.

After all, they were the ones who claimed to be the favorites to win before the competition, and they said that bringing out "Don't Say It Again" would be a sure way to send Xia Shen to his grave. They were also the ones who carried Xia Shen away.

As a result, he was eliminated by Xia Shen in the second round.

That slap came too fast.

Furthermore, the fact that aspirin was shown on the show shows that it is indeed not liked by the vast majority of people, which goes against the values ​​and beliefs of most people. They do not consider this a manifestation of individuality.

It's just that everything has been piling up and has exploded.

"Remember this for the future: when a culture wants to have a greater impact, to move from niche to mainstream, from underground to mainstream, it should conform to the positive aspects of society and should align with correct values!"

"What you're doing isn't individuality, it's a lack of manners, it's simply rudeness, and there's a difference."

"This guy's manners are terrible. If you hadn't said you were a Britpop singer, I would have thought you were a punk singer."

Punk: Huh? What does this have to do with me?

"I sing punk, and I can prove that we punks are really like this."

In an instant, aspirin's reputation plummeted, and its Weibo followers dropped rapidly.

Next was the chubby boy, who also became the target of concentrated fire.

Instead of remaining silent and choosing to avoid the limelight, he chose to confront the netizens in response to their backlash.

He subsequently posted several videos on his Weibo and Douyin/Kuaishou accounts to respond to netizens.

From the initial attempt to prove that he truly understood music, and even uttered some music theory points, he tried to justify giving Xia Shen 60 points.

As a result, a truly expert netizen posted a video analyzing it frame by frame, revealing numerous flaws in his music theory, ultimately concluding that it was generated by AI.

He started arguing with netizens in the comments section.

Finally, he posted a video showing off his car and house. "Look, what real power is, huh? Look at this property certificate! Can you afford this location in your lifetime? Look at this car, worth over a million. Instead of wasting time cursing me, you should be delivering more takeout orders. You're all as poor as scum, yet you keep spouting nonsense. There are upper and lower classes. The fact that you can communicate with me now is purely because the internet has given you this opportunity, understand? You worthless trash!"

then
The chubby kid was permanently banned, and his account with over 100,000 followers vanished instantly.

Netizens also uncovered detailed information about the companies under his name, and even found out about penalties related to illegal business operations at his home.

Finally, he was publicly named by the authorities and sanctioned under the "Clear and Bright" campaign; even the father of a high-ranking state-owned enterprise executive was investigated.

The Winter of Bands rushed to produce an announcement overnight, declaring the decision to cancel the fan club seats and drawing a clear line between itself and the band.

"A truly exhilarating performance."

Xiao Zhongge, the leader of the assault team, looked at the fruits of their victory and laughed out loud.

But in the end, he still brought this matter to a close.

He personally dug out his guitar, changed into his new outfit, filmed a video, and posted it online.

The video is titled: "The British Invasion".

The single space between each character in the classic text foreshadows its abstract nature.

Then they added the logos of aspirin and Little Fatty, and posted them on Douyin, Kuaishou, and Bilibili.

In the video, he is wearing sunglasses, a fake brand jacket with 'dashabi' printed on it, and a fisherman's hat. He is carrying a guitar and strumming a song.

It was none other than Aspirin's famous song, "Don't Say It Again."

With each strum he played, he would twist his hips to execute a large, single-arm sweeping strum.

"Don't say, say it again~ Mori Tanfo Mambo eh, wow, stable deal~"

The video instantly went viral, and the comment section was filled with laughter.

"Holy crap, hahaha, that's it! It's a one-to-one replica of Li Le."

"As expected of Brother Xiao, Xia Shen's number one double-flower red stick, this is extremely harmful and insulting."

"It definitely has that air of trying too hard to be a foreigner."

"Stable trading—"

"The only designated Manchester resident in the North China Plain. When asked, he was from Manchester. Upon checking his household registration, he was found to be No. 3, Team 2, Lijiatun, Jidi International Village."

Finally, a video led to the official Weibo account of aspirin shutting down its comment section and going silent.

Meanwhile, the songs "Killer Queen" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" have been gaining popularity since they were quickly released after the show aired.

Dominating the top two spots on various music charts!

As its reputation continues to grow, a flood of note-by-note analyses from various professional music critics has also emerged.

They all gave it extremely high praise.

And it's not over yet.

Because another message came from spies outside the wall.

These two songs have become popular overseas again, and foreigners are once again raving about Xia Shen.
