[2] Currently it has four core members: Dong Yaqian (also known as Er Qian) on lead vocals and guitar, Ji Geng on bass, Feng Jiang on drums, and Shi Li on trumpet.

OYS's self-titled first album Omnipotent Youth Society was released in 2010, fourteen years after the band's founding, and was voted Top Record of 2010 on Douban.

In their first album, Omnipotent Youth Society, their music evokes the urban decay and hopelessness of the city of Shijiazhuang, which has significantly declined since its heyday as a manufacturing hub in the 1950s and 1960s.

The album's lead single, "Kill That Man From Shijiazhuang" (Chinese: 杀死那个石家庄人; pinyin: Shā Sǐ Nàgè Shíjiāzhuāng Rén), evokes the image of a stagnant, hopeless family trapped in the monotony of daily life.

The band's music has been associated with the tang ping or "lying flat" movement in China, and evokes the concept of neijuan ("involution")—a skepticism towards the idea that working hard will pay off.

The album, inspired by a train ride the band mates took through the Taihang Mountains in 2013, explores the theme of the relationship between humans and nature.

The sense of compassion and reflection on the times conveyed in Inside the Cable Temple is in line with Omnipotent Youth Society.
