千禧代音乐是千年一遇的时代強音。
強音，因为它跟弱势群体和应。弱势群体有的是弱势群雄群雌，挑战強势，特别是強势菁英。
在中囯，《诗经》里面，哪些给朱熹推崇的雅颂，不敌国风，钟鸣逊于风鸣。
在美国，华府庙堂早就失色于街头的摇臀，早就失声于手机上的摇滚。主流不主宰天下，天下分流又汇流，汇泾汇渭，奔流到海不复回。
回头乍惊。
惊者，东西南北中，千禧一代都在弹唱，都在拍打，都在模仿美式千禧音乐，模仿美式千禧音乐人。
美乐无国界，全球化嘛。
千禧代音乐诸子，各挟数码科技，各拥千万亿万受众，争鸣争春。
此诚不可与争锋？说不！谁都可以争锋。
脱颖而出，锋芒毕露者比比皆是。
在此正要介绍的是一首断石分金之作。对于千禧我辈来说，此作应该不陌生吧 ---
Music to Millennials' ears: Lorde's Royals
Millennials are vocal. They can’t afford to be silent or silenced. Silence is never golden for millennials who are forever musically inspired and spirited. Out of nowhere a song may pop up on their radar, resonating with them by virtue of its melody and message. This was exactly how and why New Zealander Lorde shot to fame practically overnight, thanks to the infamously broken system she was struggling with.

Lyrics
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn up town, no postcode envy
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I, we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
Oh
Oh (oh, oh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
Oh
Oh (oh, oh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
