Hi guys, thank you so much for the reaction, I'm glad you liked it. Although my name, I'm part of your Brazilian audience. Love your reactions!

[@FrankValchiria]

Our pleasure!

[@nikoedward4817]

I had recommended this song to a Brazilian on omegle，is that you？

[@mcterni]

@@nikoedward4817 Hi man, it was not me. This band appeared in my Spotify, and I was amazed by them. One of the best bands I've ever heard. Now, that I read so many comments here about their lyrics, I'm gonna ask my Chinese friend to help me understand them better.

[@floydac13]

hello，I'm a fan of this band 万能青年旅店(which means universal teen’s hotel)，and glad that I can talk with you about the lyrics of this song. For many audience in China, the most talented part of this band is the lyrics. I will try to translate what the lyric mean. This song”Omnipotent Youth Society”(I don’t know who translate the name to this, in fact the title 杀死那个石家庄人means “kill that Shijiazhuang man”） Shijiazhuang is a city in China，last century this city suffered from economic decline. This band is combined with four Shijiazhuang man.So the economic decline influenced their childhood a lot In this song, the opening part describes a middle age man in Shijiazhuang,tied of living,could not find any passion in daily life.one day he bought a fake gun with fake paper money. With the explosion of emotion in the middle,this story ends suddenly and the lyrics turn sharply into abstract psychological description: 如此生活三十年，直到大厦崩塌。一万匹脱缰的马，在他脑海里奔腾。 translation：live such a life for thirty years,until the edifice falls down. Millions of runaway horses, galloping inside his mind. Fans in China tend to think the edifice means his reason crumbled,and then chose to end his life,or anyone others.(or intellect or logic crumbled,I don’t know which means 理智 in English.) In the end, love your videos！That’s for your effort to share so many good music with us.and the network environment in China isn’t that bad as you think. Wish you all the best!

[@user-rm6lx9yy5p]

The reason he did all things is the changing of life and job. My parents also suffered that time. Before my born the most important point to choose husband was working in national factory. But thirty years later national factories went bankrupt. So there is no hope for most of workers. "I lived like this for thirty years, but my life was broke because of the crash of society". Sorry for my poor English.

[@user-rx9un3oz8h]

The essence is in the lyrics.

[@user-ir5me6np3h]

stories behind are the transformation in the 80's in China. From state-owned economy to open market, society changed so quick, values also changed violently. People felt lost and confused, because of corruption and failure of planned-economy, a lot of workers on North China Plain lost their jobs, felt left behind by the changing world.

This song’s title means “kill a people from shijiazhuang石家庄” Shijiazhuang石家庄 is the capital city of hebei河北 province. it was a important big city.石家庄had many industry enterprise the most is state-owned enterprise but when china's government began to reform state-owned enterprise，many people in hebei河北 and the northeast of China lost their job ,their life became terrible.it’s a sad song for Chinese.and it's special for who‘s family worked in state- owned enterprise. my English is bad I hope you could understand

[@moled1348]

hi, frank, i want share with you about this song's background.the “殺死那個石家莊人” can translate in English called 'Kill that Detroit man'.The experience of the protagonist of this song is very similar to that of the people of Detroit. They have been destroyed by changes in their original life, a life that has been in existence for thirty years.So the lyrics of this song are also the soul of this song. If you understand the lyrics of this song, you will find that the plain text is also very infectious.

[@Oddyssues]

Hahaha my gosh you translate well 😂😂 It's true that Detroit is similar to Hebei😂😂

This is a really nice band with world class Alt-Rock but only known by few. However，things are getting way much better since they release a new album month ago.

[@playerkingofnewyorkcity2581]

lovely review. This band is one of my favorite. Their lyrics too are very inspiring and deep like the earlier progressive rock songs. For instance this song you just listened to, is about a the crumpling of Chinese old fashioned heavy industries and its effect on normal people like factory workers. They live a mundane life which got harder as the economy switched lanes and they went out of jobs. The reality of life falls upon them like eruptions (where the hard rock music kicks in).

[@ruolinxi9515]

OMG cant believe you guys reacted to one of my favorite bands in China. Great reaction! They released their newest album 冀西南林路行 in 2020 which is a more progressive-rocky album. Also reeeeaaally good! If you like prog-rock music, please check that out!

[@user-qp4eq1oj5r]

You are an expert and discovered this advanced music, not a junk Chinese song. This song actually describes the pains experienced by the heavy industrial cities in the north during the changes of the times, the transition from the planned economy to the market economy, and the feelings of loss and anger of the forgotten or abandoned groups.

Nice Sunday dear Frank ❤️❤️❤️✌🏻😉

[@tony1duan]

This song’s background is about the era when China’s transitioned from planed economy to market economy. Shijiazhuang had a lot of state owned factories so when the economy reform started, lots of people lost their livelihood. The lyrics is about a factory worker’s ordinary life was day in and day out first. But all of a sudden everything just collapsed on him. He lost his factory job but also got out of the mundane life (almost suffocating life in my opinion). The song recorded the era through the lens of a ordinary man’s life without being judgemental or expressed any political preference. I think it reflects more on meaning of life itself than the society.

[@valnicequeiroz443]

[@michaelwang5531]

hello Frank, like many friends, i'm a fan of this band too, so glad to hear that so many people in other countries appreciate this band's work. It's an indie rock band from Shijiazhuang, China, Perhaps due to language translation, the lyrics of this band are different from the context understood by foreign friends. But as a fan of the band, their melodies are as colorful as their lyrics, That is, I would like to recommend another work of this band to you : 《大石碎胸口》,This may sound a little strange haha,But I think it's a very good piece of music, at least melodically, If you are interested, you can make a video about this work, I believe there will be a lot of listeners will be interested.

[@user-bh4jn7ht8z]

Hey, bro.I want to introduce you to this song.大石碎胸口，He means the stone breaks the chest.It's called that because there's an old show in China.They hit the stone with their chests and broke it.The name of the song is just the opposite.Breaking a big stone in the chest is beautiful and wonderful.But the big stone breaking the chest is the reality.It is a cruel and painful reality. My English is very poor, I hope you can understand.
