Beginning in 1950s Rock'n' Roll was first introduced into Taiwan by Americans. Nowadays more and more rock bands are sprouting in Taiwan, as well as specific studies about it. This qualitative study focusing on the“1976” band as a research material performed in-depth interviews of “1976” band members. This research shows their individual life experiences, the band's evolution and influence from their environment and the band members' growing identity. The members of 1976 band were exposed to Rock'n' Roll throughout different life experiences but somehow managed to meet each other and that is how the “1976” band was born. They share the passion of music together; therefore, became really good friends and express their life and emotions through their songs. The band' s evolution and the members' decision making are influenced by globalization, the political context, interpersonal relationship, and so on. “Being a rocker” can be a very good interest. Rockers express and recognize themselves through the band' s evolution, moreover, some even become popular rock stars. It is worth recommending.
