Chinese folk-rock band Slap's song "Red Boy's 18 Wins," which references darker news events, has disappeared from Chinese social media amid an ongoing crackdown on public performances and growing controls on cultural content. The banned song has a huge following among young people due to its criticism of the political system and society as a whole. The band has generally operated on the fringes of mainstream culture in mainland China and is known for its stinging social criticism.
