Dakou tape, also called Dakou, refers to genuine foreign discs. These discs enter China through different channels. The most common form is imported in the name of waste plastic, almost all of which come from the United States. . Therefore, all European and Japanese bands purchased are the versions sold in the United States. Why is it called Dakou? For example, BMG Records budgeted to sell 5 million albums of a certain band, but due to some reasons, many were not sold out. For foreign record companies, it is completely impossible to sell at a reduced price. A large amount of inventory will waste a lot of financial and material resources, so the best way is to destroy it (direct incision, drilling, laser, chemical methods, etc.). During this destruction process, since the plastic boxes used to make CDs are made of high-quality chemical fibers and have high utilization value, these "destroyed" CDs are imported to China in the name of waste plastic. In fact, during the destruction process, due to the requirements of the purchaser and the circulation relationship, only some CDs were completely destroyed, and some were only cut into the CD box surface, while the CDs were intact. These CDs are called punched CDs. Those CDs that are undamaged and have not even been cut into the box have become hot commodities among professional musicians, radio DJs and audiophiles, and are called original CDs. In addition, there is also a type of disc that is called a hole-piercing disc. This type of CD is punctured into the CD disc itself, which will damage the machine for long-term audio-visual use. It is now relatively rare on the market. In the early days, the hole-punched CD mostly refers to cutting to the edge of the CD disc.

Later, related new terms such as "Dakou Generation" and "Dakou Culture" slowly appeared.
