Shanghai has always had the cyberpunk aesthetic. Underground culture really has to stay underground. It can't be exploited and commercialized and watered down.
Daniel Tynan How do you explore the underground scene? I've been to Shanghai twice but it seems almost jaded to me. Maybe it'd be a breath of fresh air in my journey next time I visit.
Siodenesse L. The key is to keep meeting people as much as you can. And eventually it'll work out. Of course it should be people right places, not like saying hi to everyone in the metro. Lol
Squall Leonhart nothing harmful for using VPN, the only issue might be just paying monthly fee for a stable VPN service. China has the internet great wall, but there are no law for punishing people for using VPN.
been living in shanghai for 5 months now and if you go to the right places a few times you quickly start to recognise the same faces. its tight knit yet paradoxically very open
"i don't know if i can really talk about the government, it's very sensitive, bro the government easily gets your information, you know" (throws a gang sign) *gang gang*
When the girl talked about working with people from Brussels I felt so proud because I am from Brussels too and I visited Shanghai this summer and I could really sense the impact of the youth on fashion and the creativity and I just fell in love with the city, now I just wanna go back and meet people and maybe even go to those parties!
I feel like kculture is just a clean version of their duvet punk aesthetic. So much potential being ruined by the government. They don’t want progress, like imagine how lit their music industry would be if they didn’t restrict this stuff.
Uhh maybe don’t try to talk about the Chinese government if your only understanding of it comes from this video and western media reports. China is a rising economic power and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of power, imagine thinking they don’t want progress lmao.
can we have these underground parties and this kind of people in my country please, they look dope and mad talented, open minded people thats pretty cool
you literally have underground scenes everywhere the thing is: don't expect it to be like shanghai's or any other one. they all are different and fun to explore you just need to find the right people!! hahah
I've lived in Shanghai for the 14 years. It's extremely easy to bypass the firewall. Either get a free VPN and make do with a slow connection or purchase a VPN and use that. I have a subscription to one VPN provider (the one she is using at 3:29) for over two years now and have had very few issues even though the price is $100 a year. All in all it should take around 5 minutes to "break through the great firewall"
sorry girl I may make you feel bit down but yes Apple store or other major app stores have already removed. Thus all VPN apps are based in other countries lol that’s still illegal girl. you haven’t been suspended is cause you are lucky enough for this scenario
Ask Chinese people on the low whether they know about the Tiananmen Square massacre and tell me that the government hasn't been wildly successful in their censorship.
Sometimes I think America is stuck with the same way of doing things for so long that it has become very stale. Our music is becoming more or less the same. Where in many other places in the world are drawing from our western influence and turning it into something fresh and new again. I have high hopes for not just Shanghai, but many places in the new youth of China.
i think its different for us whos not chinese citizen and raised there. I've spen almost 10 years in china and love its culture. But i have no idea how hard would it be if I felt like government is watching my ass 24/7 and blocking every single things. We can't judge them because we dont truly know how it is like being chinese citizen in china mate.
My aesthetic. I love seeing young people do what THEY want, I love seeing them express THEIR art. Great video P.S. someone pass me Yin Joey and Hounds @‘s
These kind of videos are the reason y I subscribed to this channel. I think people in other countries express themselves more than the Dutchies do, just like in general. We do have creative/weird people here but not enough and there's not really a creative community in my town :-(
dit is zo waar, ik doe zelf dan een creatieve opleiding en dacht "iedereen is waarschijnlijk anders" . maar helaas is het Nederland en kleed 80% van de bevolking het zelfde.
Same goes for Germany actually, except for Berlin. Berlin is completely different from the rest of the country. I feel like the German people focus so much on being as "normal" as possible and behave like everyone else.
This energy is something so precious these people have. Since I grew up in a quiet open minded European country I never really thought about how other people are doing at the end of the world. Especially when it comes to the underground mentality. Im happy they have each other and can't wait for the well-desevered exposure they will most likely encounter in the future.
Love these videos! Really shows the revolutinary side of this chinese generation that is often ignored or unknown! I live in Beijing and agree with what they say, its quite a sad city and everyone is just trying to live with that, looking for their confort zone.
this is what i've been looking for forever! every time i go back to shanghai i see it evolve a little more and the underground arts scene a little bigger, would love to see all this with my own eyes one day
I have huge respect for Chinese culture and their art. They have great artists in China too. Like Zhang Yixing, Kris Wu, Luhan, Cai Xukun(he is also leader of Nine Percent Chinese boyband who got formed in Idol Producer), Jackson Wang, Hangeng etc... I like how these awesome people are breaking the boundaries and make their own special way to create art fashion and how they dare to express themselves. They are so unique and amazing. 💞🙏💪
I am using VPN to get through the GFW (it is not illegal and not so difficult). But personally I think GFW (with some loopholes) is necessary for a concentrated effort to pursue economic and social development for China at current stage.
基本上大学生人手一个VPN，翻墙对我们来说不是问题。问题在于不追究根系的教育理念：很多人知道“这是什么”，却不知道“为什么是这样”以及“如何面对它”。政府感到害怕，却对害怕的对象无动于衷。 It‘s not a problem for us to get an access to the blocked sites. The problem is that our ideas on education are still superficial: most of us know 'what it is', but don't know 'why it's like this' or 'how should we deal with it'. The Government is scared of somthing while ignoring the cause of it.
true.what fascinates me is how they bred a nation that doesnt even want to ask those questions,Thats quite an achievement i must say.Except for the few kids in this new era ofcourse,they r curious.
Its sad honestly because they are trying to live in a reality that will not last...What will happen after 5-10 years when they turn older and society no longer wants them and their own realities fade away...
These type of videos are so dope and give me a lil inside on what’s happening in other people’s sort of aesthetic, ya know , it sparks something in me to open creativity in my life so I can create something and make what I love like others , from fashion to art to just anything artistic, these types of videos are what make me want to lear more and explore the world and it’s life but the kid our youth is living
The Modern Investor Even if it is taught, it doesnt mean every one is fluent at all. I live in Europe so I dont know that much about Asia but most people here cant speak english even tho it's taught starting from elementary school... So they surely learned by themselves just like the first comment said.
This is pretty cool I def want to go to China seems a whole lot more cyberpunk and grittier then Tokyo which I have been to tons of times even South Korea looks pretty cool
It's about time China open not only its economy but allow people to access any information they want. Freedom on the Internet. No more censuring. I believe one day it will happen.
Alexandra Z how? They use VPN but sometimes it doesn't work. I have a Chinese friend and it's hard to communicate with him since I don't have weibo or other social media used by them. Also, at Beijing airport my VPN app didn't work as well. It's not easy...
schuuichiminamino idk about your friend but I used to study in china and all my classmates had access to everything since around 8 yrs ago so maybe it’s just your friend??
Crazy to think that vk was much more mainstream back in the day but nowadays a lot of them just stay underground. Hip hop is rising. Would love to see i-D video about VK too
[SEA]S - South-East Asian Squad Yes it would be so interesting! Especially for an international fan like me, cause it's hard to know more about vk when there isn't that many info on the Internet about it.
I think for these artists not having CZcams, Soundcloud, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google actually gives them an creative edge. They are genuinely creative and revolutionairy because they evade the normal pathway of society. When they would enter the above mentioned platforms their creative and revolutionairy mind would be guided by another algorithm albeit arguably less restrictive than those they are guided by now. I do not consider Western artists who use Instagram ect. truly revolutionairy because they are being colonized by these companies. These people are reduces to non-human abstractions and sold. You could see it as modern colonialism. After colonialism came industrialisation. After this new (massive free data gathering) time their will be another spurt in industrialisation (A.I. etc.). Be revolutionairy, fight the power.
I ran amuck in Shanghai with my Chinese homeboy...we spray painted all over , cops wouldn't stop us. I thought we would get wrapped for sure, but instead the public just watched us paint
Chinese people in general really underestimate the fact that happiness brings more success, if everything is about education and just learning for the sake of being rich and successful and boosting the economy, people can't succeed in happiness or be innovative anymore which is DEPRESSING. I didn't know Shanghai was like this and it's so cool, it makes me wanna visit omg.
because a lot of East Asian youth have no idea about what things really are, they just see it think its cool then copy it. Like the Chinese trap music, they don't live that style, they ain't grow up in ghettos, but they see videos and think its cool and copy it.
The government is very aware that the 'firewall' is very easy to get through with the use of even free VPNs. They allow it to be opened quiet freely and have a good control of it. The reason I say this, is when they truly want to block the internet, it happens during international expo days, they make sure even the best VPNs don't work for a couple of days.
I thought this video is about some people who is oppresed or silenced by government in china because something they are doing. But it actually bunch of rich people's spoiled kids who dont know what to do in their life and start spending their parents money and blaming everybody. Ive been to guangzhou before and i gotta admit this china firewall is making things hard for me when i first arrived there, but then i downloaded a free vpn and then all that problem was gone instantly, i can open youtube,instagram,google,etc like usual.
in czech rebulic theres nothing like this..i mean we do have access to all the possible styles that can be created but people are so ordinary here. maybe its better to feel the need to fight againts something. i wish i could eet people like this :(
3:43 i wish i could get them out of there so they could create and exist freely, but they compose of the chinese underground scene. it wouldn’t be what it is without creatives like this and they will bring a new wave of something spectacular
brb i'm gonna go rave in shanghai.... my bf did earlier this year lol said its amazing. we should start showing more support to these restricted Chinese artists
I experienced that chinese teens are very open minded inside, but their curiosity was killed by the government and parents. Although I don't want to say that the government is bad, a little bit of the chinese conservativeness is slowly changing into a more liberal thinking. The government will have to understand those trends in ways of thinking and take their chance to accompany this change by adapting slowly.
oww tianzhuo chen i'd have never imagined seeing you there, I first discovered you at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, 3 years ago ! It was really really intriguing yet inspiring.
Shanghai has always had the cyberpunk aesthetic. Underground culture really has to stay underground. It can't be exploited and commercialized and watered down.
While I generally second your thought, wouldn't you say that there are also contrary examples, like the techno-scene in europe?
Daniel Tynan How do you explore the underground scene? I've been to Shanghai twice but it seems almost jaded to me. Maybe it'd be a breath of fresh air in my journey next time I visit.
Siodenesse L. The key is to keep meeting people as much as you can. And eventually it'll work out.
Of course it should be people right places, not like saying hi to everyone in the metro. Lol
Geheni Djiddi haha okay thanks
Daniel Tynan yep, underground is the only place to get raw authentic talent
currently using VPN to watch this video lmao
so badass
Lol
What do you risk when using VPN?
Squall Leonhart
nothing harmful for using VPN, the only issue might be just paying monthly fee for a stable VPN service. China has the internet great wall, but there are no law for punishing people for using VPN.
legal to use, but Illegal to create/share one without a government issued licence, and you know how many licences they issue each year
yoooooooo salute from dude in China with VPN
im chinese in america, do u think this scene is easy to get connected to? like would u be able to
been living in shanghai for 5 months now and if you go to the right places a few times you quickly start to recognise the same faces. its tight knit yet paradoxically very open

Shanghai looks cyberpunk af
mileslemon IKR I wouldn't want to live there due to the strict government but I'd love to go there as a tourist
Most advanced city I've been to
belongsinthetrash The gov isn't that strict as you think.
Hong Kong is super cyberpunk; ghost in the shell was based on it too
mileslemon Yeah; if you want cyberpunk, you go to Hong Kong. That city is wild
The Asian Dope Boys whole aesthetic is fascinating
looks like seapunk with a chinese aesthetic mixed in
i actually met the leader(?) and he was awesome and the art they showcased was fascinating✨

K-culture? this is China we're talking about.
CHIM Kook K CULTURE? see this is why you can’t take any kpop fan to any other part of Asia. Casual racism.
Uhh maybe don’t try to talk about the Chinese government if your only understanding of it comes from this video and western media reports. China is a rising economic power and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of power, imagine thinking they don’t want progress lmao.
I´M SO DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH THESE VIDEOS! I just feel inspired af
Maria Stetsyuk Ikr, I love these Finding Creativity Around The World videos they're making. Get me inspired to be more and more artistic
same here, stumbled on this, makes me feel kinda depressed for my normie way of life lol
can we have these underground parties and this kind of people in my country please, they look dope and mad talented, open minded people thats pretty cool
sandra w where u frm
-Supersonic - Lebanon
sandra w You probably have a scene. Find it.
"Dope" and "mad". Kids these days😑
you literally have underground scenes everywhere
the thing is: don't expect it to be like shanghai's or any other one. they all are different and fun to explore
you just need to find the right people!! hahah
Yeah boi, they are right about Taobao.
If you know a little bit Chinese the website can open a lot of doors.
You'd be surprised.
If you're using google chrome it will ask if you want the page to be translated. I don't got the patience to learn Chinese lmao

You must be smart to think that these "VPN companies" are situated in China.
Lmao most VPN companies are in unrestricted countries that make it hard for any lawsuits etc to be filed D stands for Dumb right Dan?
Future Girlfriend wow thx... finally someone said it
sorry girl I may make you feel bit down but yes Apple store or other major app stores have already removed. Thus all VPN apps are based in other countries lol that’s still illegal girl. you haven’t been suspended is cause you are lucky enough for this scenario
Ask Chinese people on the low whether they know about the Tiananmen Square massacre and tell me that the government hasn't been wildly successful in their censorship.

Beijing is not that bad, rock bands are great. Shanghai is more western, but most of the native music labels are still in Beijing.
Beijing is and will always be the better place for music comparing to Shanghai lmao
i think its different for us whos not chinese citizen and raised there. I've spen almost 10 years in china and love its culture. But i have no idea how hard would it be if I felt like government is watching my ass 24/7 and blocking every single things.
We can't judge them because we dont truly know how it is like being chinese citizen in china mate.
As a Londoner who also lived in DC for 8 years, I would think most capital cities can be rather depressing.
shout out to great camera work, editing and colouring in this video!
My aesthetic.
I love seeing young people do what THEY want, I love seeing them express THEIR art. Great video
P.S. someone pass me Yin Joey and Hounds @‘s
11:02 you gotta love how he just casually slides the utterly unrelated *"gang gang"* in there hahahaha
These kind of videos are the reason y I subscribed to this channel. I think people in other countries express themselves more than the Dutchies do, just like in general. We do have creative/weird people here but not enough and there's not really a creative community in my town :-(
create one :)

It's cool to see young people forming their own individual identities and branching out to form new things for themselves.
This energy is something so precious these people have. Since I grew up in a quiet open minded European country I never really thought about how other people are doing at the end of the world. Especially when it comes to the underground mentality. Im happy they have each other and can't wait for the well-desevered exposure they will most likely encounter in the future.
I never know my city got such a vibrant underground culture
Love these videos! Really shows the revolutinary side of this chinese generation that is often ignored or unknown! I live in Beijing and agree with what they say, its quite a sad city and everyone is just trying to live with that, looking for their confort zone.
this is what i've been looking for forever! every time i go back to shanghai i see it evolve a little more and the underground arts scene a little bigger, would love to see all this with my own eyes one day
I think I shouldn't be this surprised that a lot of these people speak excellent, even flawless English. Amazing culture. So much respect.
All these ppl r sooo cool looking fml
Yesssss
I didn't know Shang Hai is like this before
The younger generation is increasingly realised they have been blocked by the GFW, and they are hungry for info from outside.
I have huge respect for Chinese culture and their art. They have great artists in China too. Like Zhang Yixing, Kris Wu, Luhan, Cai Xukun(he is also leader of Nine Percent Chinese boyband who got formed in Idol Producer), Jackson Wang, Hangeng etc... I like how these awesome people are breaking the boundaries and make their own special way to create art fashion and how they dare to express themselves. They are so unique and amazing. 💞🙏💪
Their energy, their drive, their willingness to go against the grain... They are so beautiful!
I’m fucking with their music... I mean it’s techno but it’s their take on it
Having lived in Several cities across China, I get huge hope in the youth of the country .
I am using VPN to get through the GFW (it is not illegal and not so difficult). But personally I think GFW (with some loopholes) is necessary for a concentrated effort to pursue economic and social development for China at current stage.
It's so easy to download a vpn, the real barrier is language.
Just imagine a free China; the world would be so much more fun
STEREOTYPE. Imagine the western world would finally accept China, or just whole Asia ://
iamfuckeduplol To some extend. Don’t forget their complete disregard of humanrights ://
This is crazy inspiring, shows that humanity pulls through even the toughest conditions like a little stubborn plant through asphalt!
I wish them all the best.
Ideas and dreams can't be controlled and always find a way. Doesn't matter how much it is forbidden and worked against.
基本上大学生人手一个VPN，翻墙对我们来说不是问题。问题在于不追究根系的教育理念：很多人知道“这是什么”，却不知道“为什么是这样”以及“如何面对它”。政府感到害怕，却对害怕的对象无动于衷。

china is popping, all these new waves of creatives. super interesting - reminds me of the 60s in london or something
Its sad honestly because they are trying to live in a reality that will not last...What will happen after 5-10 years when they turn older and society no longer wants them and their own realities fade away...
Live life when you're still young. Make yourself feel like you're alive.
I think that society would evolve with them and encourage more young ppl after them
You make no sense, this isn't a fad or trend. It's a way of life.
really looks like such a scene and community. I love it
What are their brands? Would like to visit their fashion labels in shanghai

shanghai is just amazing, like I talk to people like this every day, its just awesome
I do confess setting the great firewall is inconvenient for us but anyway it gotta be dismantled one day.
I would love to see an update now with the Pandemic
Horrifying,
These people are so interesting !!! I’ve seen one of the girls work before on my Instagram but now I can’t remember her name :(
These type of videos are so dope and give me a lil inside on what’s happening in other people’s sort of aesthetic, ya know , it sparks something in me to open creativity in my life so I can create something and make what I love like others , from fashion to art to just anything artistic, these types of videos are what make me want to lear more and explore the world and it’s life but the kid our youth is living
How come so many of them are so fluent in english?!
is that a joke or are you serious? you know english is taught in other places besides the US and the UK right ?
The Modern Investor Even if it is taught, it doesnt mean every one is fluent at all. I live in Europe so I dont know that much about Asia but most people here cant speak english even tho it's taught starting from elementary school... So they surely learned by themselves just like the first comment said.
One guy said that he studied in Chicago and the other one was born in the states.
I learned English from watching vampire diaries when I was a kid...
seriously?! u trolling right?! anyone can speak english... fluently...
This video literally popped up in my recommended while I’m IN CHINA on a VPN, trippy
YESSSS TAOBAO IS THE SHITTTT MADE OF DREAMS
This is pretty cool I def want to go to China seems a whole lot more cyberpunk and grittier then Tokyo which I have been to tons of times even South Korea looks pretty cool
people like that give me hope that one day China will be free
for us they are just some whitewashed trash
beautiful and inspiring. ID you are wonderful!
It's about time China open not only its economy but allow people to access any information they want. Freedom on the Internet. No more censuring. I believe one day it will happen.
when communists are dead. That's when
Mike Liu they're not communists
It's actually completely unrestricted if anyone tries... but yea still they should open it completely

Is there are full documentary of this? Some shots had cut in the middle of their conversation. I wanna know what they want to say :)
Why is the editor cutting the clips in the middle of their sentences... let them finish what they are saying lol!!
I think for these artists not having CZcams, Soundcloud, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google actually gives them an creative edge. They are genuinely creative and revolutionairy because they evade the normal pathway of society. When they would enter the above mentioned platforms their creative and revolutionairy mind would be guided by another algorithm albeit arguably less restrictive than those they are guided by now.

Be revolutionairy, fight the power.
You know. I live live in China and their lifestyle is typical chinese , it is not something rebelling , it is okay

I didn't know Shanghai was like this and it's so cool, it makes me wanna visit omg.
Why is my man in the thumbnail rocking a durag? Lmao
because a lot of East Asian youth have no idea about what things really are, they just see it think its cool then copy it. Like the Chinese trap music, they don't live that style, they ain't grow up in ghettos, but they see videos and think its cool and copy it.
I'm feeling u on this bro it just what we like
cause it was a gift from my homie, and the shit is well made lmao
I like how they used old cameras. Great video, i didn't know china was like that
The girl withvthr pink hair sounds british
probably learn't most of her english from british sources.
Boaz Johnson No she sounds like London youth
mileslemon no it’s not from British source or anything. Many Chinese I hear had that British accent.
This is amazing. Love to the scene over their. It kinda feels like culture in general has been stagnating lately good to see movement.

The government is very aware that the 'firewall' is very easy to get through with the use of even free VPNs. They allow it to be opened quiet freely and have a good control of it. The reason I say this, is when they truly want to block the internet, it happens during international expo days, they make sure even the best VPNs don't work for a couple of days.
the government it's easy to get your information y'know ... ganggang
“我来自内蒙古，就是一个f**king small city" hahaha loved that
I thought this video is about some people who is oppresed or silenced by government in china because something they are doing. But it actually bunch of rich people's spoiled kids who dont know what to do in their life and start spending their parents money and blaming everybody. Ive been to guangzhou before and i gotta admit this china firewall is making things hard for me when i first arrived there, but then i downloaded a free vpn and then all that problem was gone instantly, i can open youtube,instagram,google,etc like usual.
I am a McGill student from Shanghai, and I use the school VPN to access CZcams while in Shanghai.
in czech rebulic theres nothing like this..i mean we do have access to all the possible styles that can be created but people are so ordinary here. maybe its better to feel the need to fight againts something. i wish i could eet people like this :(
I really laughed at 11:05 he was speaking about serious stuff with a serious tone and suddendly he drops a gang gang outta nowhere lol
所有圈子到最后其实都是互相吹捧
小鸡儿屎
商业互吹
3:43 i wish i could get them out of there so they could create and exist freely, but they compose of the chinese underground scene. it wouldn’t be what it is without creatives like this and they will bring a new wave of something spectacular
年轻 新时代 我们去创造 活出自我
这种单纯的叛逆并不是自我，只是为了反对而反对，等到他们能够真的明白自己想要什么的时候才算活出自我
活出自我？怪不得现在的同性恋啊，废物啊，越来越多了，在我看来大部分都是傻逼！
看看最早的那个非主流现在在干嘛？开理发店，老老实实赚钱！整天扯那些幺蛾子是会饿肚子的，我国可没有养废物的那种西方福利制度！
Messiah KING 你很符合你的头像
hecka edgy bro
Marc 现在的主流文化哪些在以前不是亚文化 你现在是听戏了 还是琴棋书画了 倒退三十年邓丽君还是靡靡之音呢 你穿的牛仔裤在西方五六十年代还是叛逆象征呢 现在谁不让你穿了 电视台多的是各种恋爱节目 大爷大妈年轻时候还要靠组织介绍呢 没文化就说没文化好了 别说主流文化 你问问你爷爷奶奶咋看现在一些电视剧女孩子画的妆 穿的衣服 听的歌 对了 有兴趣了解下英国七十年代叛逆历史你会惊讶 很多人都是玩人剩下的还能叫亚文化
This is so powerful and authentic, I love it. Good for them. Living and loving life to the fullest.
I would like to know their IG
especially joey
THats the whole point. They don´t have IG....it´s illegal.
you never been out of your own country havent you? chinese kids have instagram all over.
no, they most likely do have it.
I lived in Beijing for a year, you couldn´t download instagram,. They had a chinese version.
They're living a life which just exactly the life I want and I'm hoping that one day there's no firewall in China.Sincerely hoping...
your dream is most of chinese young people's dream.
一年没回家了。因为我知道VPN管控越来越严格。真的受不了和外界消失联系，像在别的星云的小星球。想吃好吃的就去法拉盛咯。想念家里的clubing就自己整house party咯。
Now it’s 2020,and seems wall would be everywhere
China’s FUTURE !!! Yeee
brb i'm gonna go rave in shanghai.... my bf did earlier this year lol said its amazing. we should start showing more support to these restricted Chinese artists
I experienced that chinese teens are very open minded inside, but their curiosity was killed by the government and parents. Although I don't want to say that the government is bad, a little bit of the chinese conservativeness is slowly changing into a more liberal thinking. The government will have to understand those trends in ways of thinking and take their chance to accompany this change by adapting slowly.
leokgym all people are curious, it's culture and government that surpress us.
nassim zway I can just agree. The best example would be babys and children.
I loved this video! OMG, they're so beautiful, I like so much the green hair! :)
VPN...man...everyone is using it...
oww tianzhuo chen i'd have never imagined seeing you there, I first discovered you at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, 3 years ago ! It was really really intriguing yet inspiring.
Riri magnifique!
