External evaluation

In the early days of its establishment, Weiner band basically continued the style of loosers singing English songs, and even imitated the styles of European and American bands in terms of dress: long hair, sunglasses and muffin shoes. However, their characteristics just catered to the trend of Hong Kong pop music in the early 1970s, and their flared pants and shoulder length hair styles also became popular models for young people in Hong Kong Object. After the rise of Cantonese songs in Hong Kong, Weiner band also recognized the direction and kept up with the trend. They used the method of re filling words, based on the style of British and American popular songs, and sang Cantonese songs. The representative work "love as you like" not only became popular in Hong Kong, but also gave them a place in the Cantonese market. The types of Cantonese songs sung by the Wenner band in this period are youth and fashion, such as playful and joyful "play scared" and "catch up, run, jump and touch". These songs also cater to the taste of young people in Hong Kong, making them one of the few youth idol groups in the music world of Hong Kong in the 1970s. And at the end of the band's establishment, they even launched such deep hearted slow songs as "love in the song" and "I'm very lonely today", which were welcomed by the female audience in Hong Kong.
