⁠GEN F: Jackzebra’s global ennui⁠
⁠
Over the last year or so, Jackzebra, whose real name is Zhang Zhengkai, has experienced an organic groundswell of popularity as his SoundCloud mixes and songs of overzealously Auto-Tuned slurring, layered over—and underneath—atmospheric soundscapes that further distort lyrical meaning, have gone viral on Reddit, the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, and other emo-rap communities online. ⁠
⁠
Even Mandarin speakers have trouble understanding jackzebra626, but his music has transcended the need for translation for both his fans who are native Chinese speakers and those who don’t understand a single word.⁠
