What actually makes a music genre… a genre? Is it sound, structure, culture, or the feeling it leaves you with? And when a band becomes so globally influential that they don’t quite fit into any existing category, are they breaking boundaries? Or creating something entirely new? In this Music & Talk session, we’ll dive into the world of Japan’s current #1 band, ONE OK ROCK, exploring not just their sound, but their identity, their evolution, and their almost unstoppable rise to international fame.

Hosted by Leon, a musician and psychologist who brings both technical insight and human depth, we’ll listen to selected tracks, unpack their style, and zoom out into the bigger question: what actually defines a genre in the first place? Whether you’re a longtime fan, someone who’s heard the name but never really listened, or even someone who feels like “music theory” isn’t your thing at all, this is designed to be accessible, thought-provoking, and genuinely fun. Come curious, you might leave hearing music a little differently.

到底什么才算是一个“音乐风格”？是声音本身、结构形式、文化背景，还是它带给你的那种感觉？当一支乐队的影响力大到很难被归进任何已有分类时，它是在打破边界，还是已经在做出一种新的东西？在这场 Music & Talk 里，我们会一起走进日本目前很火的乐队 ONE OK ROCK，不只是听他们的音乐，也会聊他们的风格、身份、发展过程，以及他们是怎么一步步走向国际舞台的。

这场活动由 Leon 主持，他既是音乐人，也是心理学家，会从技术和感受两个角度带大家一起听歌、分析他们的风格，同时也会把话题拉回一个更大的问题：到底是什么在定义“音乐类型”？不管你是老粉、只是听过名字但没怎么认真听过，还是觉得“音乐理论听起来有点门槛”，都可以轻松参与。这会是一场不难进入、但挺有意思的讨论，说不定结束之后，你听音乐的方式都会有点不一样。
