Omnipotent Youth Society is the debut studio album by Chinese indie rock band Omnipotent Youth Society. The album, released independently on November 12, 2010, was the first studio album of the band since its establishment in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, in 1996. After many personnel changes, the members of the band were Dong Yaqian, Shi Li, Ji Geng, and Yang Yougeng by the time Omnipotent Youth Society was released. The album features a variety of genres, ranging from blues-style solos to folk-rock, progressive rock, alternative rock, hard rock, blues-rock, and elements related to free jazz. The lyrics deal with social issues, politics, depression, and the idiosyncrasies of the younger generation. Some brass instruments are used, such as saxophone, trumpet, and cello. The trumpet played by Shi Li takes a large part in the album. Since its release, the album has received positive reviews from some music critics and mainstream media in Mainland China and Taiwan. The album helped OYS win the Best Band Award on the 11th Chinese Music Media Awards and seven nominations of other awards. The success of the album also popularized OYS in Taiwan and influenced the local music industry.
