1976 is a Taiwanese band named after the birth year of the founding members, indicative of their nostalgia for the music of that era. They are widely recognized for their unique blend of rock that incorporates elements of new wave, punk, and indie pop, with melodies that reflect the retro-aesthetic of the 1980s. The band's lyrical prowess is underscored by their poetic articulation of contemporary life and the emotional landscape of modern society, delivered through a distinct Taiwanese perspective.

Despite the specificity of their cultural references and the use of Mandarin in their lyrics, 1976 has managed to create a sound that resonates beyond their geographic origins, offering a universal appeal to those who cherish the vintage vibes of yesteryear's music. With releases like "前王子" (Former Prince), "不合時宜" (Inopportune), and "撒野俱樂部" (Wild Club), they continue to build their legacy, remolding new wave contours while infusing them with a fresh contemporary edge. Albums like "1976這個星球" (The Planet of 1976) and songs such as "耳機裡的新浪潮" (New Wave in the Headphones), "愛的鼓勵" (Love's Encouragement), and "方向感" (Sense of Direction) further establish their ability to craft music that's both introspective and exuberant, serving as a beacon for the modern Taiwanese music scene.
