Young people in China are becoming more rebellious, questioning their nation’s traditional expectations of career and family
There was an explosion of Chinese punk/alt bands late 90s/ early 2000s but they gave way to hip hop/pop. Still a decent scene in Beijing. One of my favorite bands from that era is called Wood pushing melon (木推瓜).

Yep. There’s a lot of Chinese punk, post-punk, goth, New Wave etc etc etc. sadly, outside of China you don’t hear much about it because of the old firewall and of course language barriers.
