Chapter 1640 No Time to Die (Three)_1
The direction of events did not deviate from Gwen Spiderman's predictions. In the pictures of Hela that were taken, the thick aura of mystery and darkness she exuded brought punk culture and nihilism back into the public eye.
As is widely known, the term "punk" originated in England. After World War II, the unemployment rate in England surged. Everyone was considering how to fill their stomachs, and commercial ground-level rock records were prevalent. People indulged in elegant sounds, and many musicians lost their sharpness for art and the rebellious nature of rock art.
Later, the band Sex Pistols emerged with their daring promotion methods that expressed passion, anger, violence, and rebellion, which were considered completely outrageous by the British conservatives. This gave birth to punk.
If the current punk has many definitions, tracing back to its origins, it can be explained as "suppressed anger," with a very clear collective nature and anti-individual heroism.
The last point might confuse many. However, the revolution is about overthrowing feudalism, and punk is the revolution of rock. Punk musicians oppose the prevalence of rock stars, believing that rock should be an outlet for everyone's inner anger. No individual can or should represent the rebellion in other people's hearts.
"We should all step into punk."
After the photo went viral and was shared billions of times online, renowned journalist Eddie Brock finally got the opportunity to interview the mysterious lady. When asked about punk culture, she said:
"The times are changing at a speed we cannot see. Ordinary people drift with the current like a school of fish. Because of this, we should express our anger and rebel blatantly. This is the only thing we can do."
Hela sat in the interview room, one leg crossed over the other, her arms straight and wrists resting on her knees. She didn't dress in any peculiar fashion, just a black sweater and slightly loose overalls. It was as if she was not facing the camera, but sitting on the sofa at home.
Her attire completely shattered people's impressions of punk artists dressing in bizarre outfits for heavy metal concerts. Hela wore plain clothes, yet the violence, destruction, and dark mystery that her soul exuded made it impossible for people to look away.
This interview was even more explosive than the previous photo. Posted on Eddie Brock's personal account, it went viral worldwide in less than ten hours.
It was not without reason. During Hela's time as Crown Princess of Asgard, her reputation spread throughout the entire Interstellar Society. Remember, she, like Odin, was a harbinger of war and destruction. Despite this, among various civilizations, she still had many followers and fanatic fans.
In all civilizations, there are a considerable number of fanatics devoted to Asgard. They believe that the God Clan is inherently strong and noble and thus, should rule all civilizations and enslave all people. By following them, they can completely change their not-so-good lives.
The vast majority of Odin's fanatic fans have a devotion to Asgard, but most of Hela's fanatic fans like her as a person.
Just as Magneto, a terrorist, has many fans on Earth and even has a fan club, there are always some oddballs with unique aesthetics and thinking among intelligent life forms.
Similar minds resonate, but attracting these intelligent life forms with abnormal minds requires a unique temperament and personal charisma.
Hela's charm has never been observed up close. When she was still a princess, no one was brave enough to closely observe her. Even after her failure and imprisonment, not many dared to get close to her.
Therefore, this gave the human race a completely new sensation. Her personal charm led to increased attention to her words, actions, and positions. After the photo and interview went viral, punk culture sparked a new wave of enthusiasm.
When discussing punk, it is tough to avoid themes of death and nihilism, or the clash of atomicism and post-punk ideologies. Many critics began to analyze what is punk, and many non-critics started to refute their views.
Some people criticized private goods under the resurgence of punk, and some started to criticize punk after reading these criticisms. Amid the fray, some onlookers accused Hela of putting on a show. People even started to visit the place of photography to check in, and Hela's background and family background were continuously dug up. For a while, all sorts of opinions spread on the internet.
After the hype was stirred up, some rock musicians who had long lost their flavour seized this opportunity to release new albums. A few high-quality songs became popular, but then a bunch of people saw the business opportunity and started to mass-produce low-quality records, causing many people's dissatisfaction. The long-silent rock circle was inevitably drawn in.
If it was the hip-hop circle, they would have started openly cursing each other by now. But rock, while venting anger, also pursues philosophical thinking and artistry. Some music companies and record distributors can only quietly take positions, and the fans of old bands fight each other online.
"This pisses me off!!!" Gwen Spider-Man threw the newspaper onto the table. In the Spider-Man base, several Spider-Mans turned to look at her. Miles, who was hanging from the beam, slowly slid down the spider silk and hung in front of Gwen Spider-Man, asking her, "What's wrong?"
