在场与共燃：互动仪式链视角下青年演唱会热潮的生成逻辑与文化意涵

Presence and Shared Excitement: The Generative Logic and Cultural Implications of the Youth Concert Craze from the Perspective of the Interactive Ritual Chain

摘要: 青年演唱会热潮是透视当代青年情感结构、交往方式与文化诉求的典型文化实践。本文以兰德尔·柯林斯的互动仪式链理论为分析框架，围绕“身体在场–为局外人设限–共同关注的焦点–共同的情绪体验”四个核心要素，逐层剖析青年演唱会热潮的表征及生成动因。研究发现，演唱会通过具身体验、身份边界、节奏连带及情感能量形成从情感唤起、情感传导到情感内化与实践外化的闭环。在社会结构性张力、原子化困境与数字化反拨的三重动因驱动下，青年将演唱会作为情感释放的飞地、群体归属的部落与真实体验的追寻。青年在演唱会文化中并非被动的接受者，其通过制作应援物、撰写观后感、公益实践等多元方式主动参与意义生产，展现出鲜明的文化能动性。演唱会热潮既为青年提供了情感联结与社会认同的契机，也潜藏着消费主义裹挟、情感依赖与圈层封闭等风险。实现这一文化现象从自发流量狂欢向自觉价值在场的跃升，须正视青年的主体性实践，在理解其文化逻辑的基础上，通过政策规范、市场自律与媒体引导的协同，为演唱会文化的健康发展提供制度保障与价值支撑。

Abstract: The youth concert craze is a typical cultural practice that offers insight into the emotional structures, modes of interaction, and cultural aspirations of contemporary youth. Drawing on Randall Collins’s theory of the interactive ritual chain as an analytical framework, this paper systematically dissects the manifestations and driving forces behind the youth concert craze by focusing on four core elements: “physical presence-setting boundaries for outsiders-a shared focal point-a shared emotional experience”. The study finds that concerts form a closed loop—from emotional arousal and transmission to emotional internalization and the externalization of practice—through embodied experience, identity boundaries, rhythmic solidarity, and emotional energy. Driven by the triple forces of social structural tensions, the predicament of atomization, and the digital backlash, young people view concerts as an enclave for emotional release, a tribe offering group belonging, and a pursuit of authentic experiences. Young people are not passive recipients in concert culture; they actively participate in the production of meaning through diverse means—such as creating fan merchandise, writing concert reviews, and engaging in charitable activities—demonstrating distinct cultural agency. While the concert craze offers young people opportunities for emotional connection and social identity, it also harbors risks such as being swept up in consumerism, emotional dependency, and the closure of social circles. To elevate this cultural phenomenon from a spontaneous celebration of popularity to a conscious expression of value, we must acknowledge the agency of young people in their cultural practices. Building on an understanding of their cultural logic, we must foster synergy among policy regulations, market self-regulation, and media guidance to provide institutional safeguards and value-based support for the healthy development of concert culture.
