Maintaining a remarkably low profile since its inception, the band gained recognition with the independent online release of the unplugged single "The Infallible Comedy" in 2006. Subsequent live bootlegs of their works circulated online, establishing them as one of China's most acclaimed and promising rock bands.
In late 2010, they released their self-titled debut album, "Omnipotent Youth Society," becoming a phenomenon in the Chinese music scene the following year. Widely regarded as one of the most important Mandarin albums of the first two decades of the 21st century。This album conveys, in a poetic, introspective yet precise and powerful manner, the feelings and thoughts of the young generation in the current era and society. The music also strikes a fine balance between the energy of rock and the delicate beauty of sound, with almost all songs having been sung by fans to this day.

Over the following years, the band embraced diverse musical influences, culminating in the release of their second album, "Inside The Cable Temple," in late 2020—a concept album seamlessly connecting all tracks. The album, initially sold as a digital record, achieved nearly 300,000 sales on its first day and has since surpassed 900,000, maintaining the highest digital record sales in Chinese independent music.
"Inside The Cable Temple" garnered unanimous praise from fans and critics alike, reaching greater artistic heights compared to their previous work. Introducing more orchestral elements, the music became more complex, leaning towards art rock, while the lyrics remained rich in literary qualities. The album, with its somewhat cryptic personal narratives, vividly portrays the profound impact of society and civilization's rapid transformations on individuals, evoking a mix of melancholy, sorrow, and magical hues.
