音乐展演空间（live house）是指举行现场演出的室内音乐表演场所，其前身是20世纪60年代末在欧美的摇滚乐主题酒吧。本研究将现场音乐（live music）的生产与消费从宏观上视作一种彰显文化自主性，并推动社会结构之中个体发挥能动性的潜在力量，聚焦于个体体验、现场音乐、live house与青年文化。本研究有两个核心研究问题：第一，live house的音乐场景（the musical scene of live house)是如何被建构的？除了音乐、乐手本身之外，还有哪些要素参与了这个音乐场景的建构，并对观众的音乐体验产生了怎么样的影响呢？第二，对于观众来说，什么样的音乐被认为是好的现场音乐？这一评价体制和对于艺术产品的评价体制之间有哪些共性和张力？在研究方法上，本研究主要使用访谈法、参与式观察、虚拟民族志等定性研究方法为主要的研究方法，收集了29份报道人的访谈资料。研究结论上，本研究发现建构一个现场音乐的场景不仅仅需要音乐和乐手的介入，观众的互动、音响等物质性的设施、乐迷的着装表达、现场的装置乃至于live house的地理区位空间都作为物质性的主体参与了这个音乐场景的建构；此外，现场音乐场景中的具身体现与情感宣泄也促进了亚文化群体内部对于音乐的感知和表达。这一音乐场景是一个纵深的开放空间，其中情感、身体、物质和空间都作为主体参与其中，共同建构了一个青年文化的音乐世界。另外，“本真性”是乐迷们评价音乐现场与独立音乐的重要标准，这一概念可以框架化为真诚、反叛、现场感和地方感。这代表了亚文化群体的声音和态度。追求本真性的背后，是亚文化群体对于自我表达和身份认同的需求。通过这一策略，他们试图在音乐场景中超越主流文化对音乐的规范和限制。在音乐现场，观众与乐手之间建立了一种互动关系，创造了共同的情感共鸣和共享的体验。在这个过程中，他们能够找到属于自己的社会网络和情感支持。
Live houses, indoor music venues for live performances, have their roots in late 1960s rock-themed bars in Europe and America. They utilize high-quality professional sound and stage equipment, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the music while also providing close proximity to the performers. This study considers the production and consumption of live music from a macro perspective, highlighting cultural autonomy and the potential for individual agency within social structures. Specifically, this study addresses two core research questions: First, how is the musical scene of live houses constructed? Besides music and musicians themselves, what elements contribute to the construction of this musical scene and how do they impact the audience‘s music experience? Second, what kind of music is considered good live music from the audience‘s perspective? What similarities and tensions exist between this evaluative system and the evaluative system of artistic products? Methodologically, this study primarily employs qualitative research methods such as interviews, participant observation, and virtual ethnography. It collected 29 interview data. The study findings reveal that constructing a live music scene requires not only the involvement of music and musicians but also the participation of the audience, material facilities such as sound equipment, fan fashion expressions, installations at live performances, and the geographical location of live houses. Additionally, embodiment and emotional release within live music scenes promote the perception and expression of music within subcultural communities. This music scene extends far beyond music itself, becoming an open space in which emotions, bodies, materiality, and space actively contribute to the construction of a youth culture‘s musical world. Moreover, "authenticity" is an important criterion by which fans evaluate live music scenes and independent music, characterized by sincerity, rebellion, a sense of being live, and a sense of place. The pursuit of authenticity extends beyond mere interest in music itself; it represents an affirmation of the values, social relationships, and lifestyles embodied by music. An interactive relationship is established between the audience and musicians, resulting in shared emotional resonance and experiences.
