politicqxs 358 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 For example france has daft punk etc.., but I couldn't think of any german popular music artist whose popularity spreads far beyond the border. Why is that? giving up sodomy and moving to 🇦🇪 converting to ☪ and marrying four girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Surrealist 27,470 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Nena and Tokio Hotel are the only ones who made it that far. Germany lacks diversity and has no music taste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwontell 7,312 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Language is a barrier, first of all...and it's not only that ppl don't understand it, it's that it might sound funny to them...(for example, the first time I heard ppl rapping in french I rolled on the ground laughing, cuz just the juxtaposition of rapping and the cutest sounding language in world...I mean, it was priceless) If you think of non-spoken music though - specially Classic music (Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Pachelbel, Wagner, etc. ) -, Germany is huge... Other than that, there are some countries that have more of a tradition of exporting culture, like the US, of course, the UK, France, Japan...what they eat, how they dress, how they think, for some reason (probably bc they've been big economies for a long while, so ppl want to emulate their lifestyle) is very influential and more easily absorbed by other cultures... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvnrp 48,353 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 German-produced songs are way more popular than German-language songs. Everyone should know Zedd around here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 109,709 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It is popular enough, especially the electronic/industrial acts. Rammstein, KMFDM, Kraftwerk, Atari Teenage Riot, Alphaville, Oomph!, Das Ich are some of the names that need no introduction.

Guest Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Robin Schulz just had a few hits worldwide, Zedd is at the top of his game as well, and Cascada used to be pretty successful in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eifulien 2,969 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 When someone asks about a German hit - this comes to mind as the last thing that slayed everybody (at least in Europe, I guess): I love that song, and makes German listenable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
