台灣重金屬樂團之儀式分析

Abstract

重金屬（heavy metal）自1980年代全球化以來，成為獨特且擁有忠誠樂迷的音樂類型。其形式不同於一般流行樂，且樂迷行為均有固定、狂熱崇拜的儀式現象；而閾限（linimal）是一種儀式的門檻，參與成員介於現實與虛幻的狀態，本研究將探討台灣重金屬樂團之表演意象、樂迷參與行為，描繪出重金屬樂團、樂迷之間，所存在的儀式現象。 本研究分析台灣重金屬樂團音樂錄影帶作品之基本樣貌，並現場參與台灣重金屬樂團表演、觀察樂迷行為與互動。研究結果發現：重金屬音樂透過神話、暴力、瘋狂、恐怖圖像等誇大的方式展現力量，此種力量將重金屬樂團的表演意象閾限化，且引起現場演出的狂喜狀態，樂團與樂迷所組成的閾限團體，則是一種基於信任與認同感組成的社群。Heavy metal has been a unique music genre, and had many loyal fans since globalization in the 1980s.
