The band Schoolgirl byebye is described on Douban as having been established in the summer of 2015, originating from a romantic relationship between good friends. The female drummer, Gengsheng Zai, and the male lead vocalist, Yang Yue, have since formed a family together. Their Weibo posts, aside from showcasing performances and rehearsals, are filled with the joy of raising children and dogs.

Schoolgirl byebye was once a rock band that sang entirely in English with a hard-edged musical style, disdaining fresh and warm music. However, they have now begun to create songs of this nature, with fans noticing a significant change in the band’s direction this year. ‘Stylized, genre-specific music has been thrown out the window by us; we simply don’t need them,’ said Gengsheng Zai of Schoolgirl byebye in an exclusive interview with Malo Music, explaining the shift. They emphasized that ‘comfort’ in their current creative process is paramount.
