Photographer Noah Sheldon began the series Rock in China just two weeks into his move from Brooklyn to Shanghai two years ago. He was eager to find some type of youth culture in China. Fresh off the boat and with eyes wide open, he was still experiencing the city as a traveler when he came across a poster for a rock festival, and was immediately intrigued. Sheldon remains interested in everything about the scene—the small group of people giving free hugs, the couple off in the bushes making out, the huge crowds of hip young kids, known as Chipsters, rocking out to playing bands.
