Rock Goo!

*faints*...can't get enough of this....lol

When I saw this video on fb, I re-posted it.  As expected, one of the replies I got was from B.  (I met B in one of my classes, but the reason we did strike up was because of the forum.)  B's comment....."we all miss rock goo".

And here is the die-hard hocc fan in me....

We all miss rock goo.  That is probably true for most people that have been following since the beginning.  Nowadays, whenever hocc does a rock performance, that's the most common comment.  What's interesting is that hocc no longer makes any replies to these comments.

A few years back when hocc first started straying away from this rock style, a lot of people would comment about how they like the rock style more and that hocc was going down the wrong path.  At that time, hocc would get pretty angry and, in response, leave some pretty psyched up replies about how music is not just about rock and that the fans can't expect her to stay the same forever.

Now, hocc doesn't react or reply to these comments anymore.  Why?

Because she doesn't care?  Because she's too good to reply now?  Because she doesn't see them?

I don't know.

But to me, there is no need for her to reply anymore because the meaning has changed.  Back then, when people said they want "rock goo", they meant it.  They wanted hocc to stay a rocker.  But now, all it means is that we still love seeing the rocker.  I think over the years people have started to appreciate hocc for more than just the (then) distinct rock style.  She's proved herself with all her unique and meaningful projects and music and most fans have a certain amount of respect for what she does.  It's not just about the rock anymore.

(If you're not a hocc fan, then you probably think that I'm totally insane.  Oh well.  That's okay.  As I said to my Korean friend who noticed via fb that I'm really into hocc, you have to be me to understand.)
