The down fall of German Pop music in one video.

[@livedandletdie]

It was good pre-2010. I mean it was the best in the 80s, it has been on a constant decline, the only thing in Germany that never was in decline was Rock and Metal. In the old days it was Blind Guardian, and these days although they're getting really old now, is Rammstein. Can't still believe that Till is 60 years old. I mean, Rammstein begun in the 90s but still, time flies.

[@petebeatminister]

@@livedandletdie Well, Rock and Metal I wouldn't really call Pop Music. Pop is the Top 40 stuff, that gets played on the radio in a endless loop. In the past, there has always been a lot of junk in it, but at least a few songs here and there were not too bad. But then came Rap, as the video shows. 10 minutes work on a PC, a rented Lambo and a few dance dolls, and ready is the next hit song.

I've mostly moved away from music that includes vocals. It's much more universal and the lyrics of most German music - especially what they play on radio - is totally "washed down" and softened. It must make most German music seem like whiny crap to outsiders. Somehow most of those tunes seem to come from the same can.

As a German I can tell you, Sido and Cro influnced every childhood back in the days (like 2010-2017). Everyone was listening to their music.

[@calistafalcontail]

Nah not everyone. Speak for yourself. This music was always trash to me and Sido in the beginning was a gross ghetto dummy. Classic child of Berlin circumstances. I always knew Music stopped being magic after the 80s and I wasnt even alive back then.

Add Bushido to the mix as he and Sido pushed themselves to the spot lights with their "early beefs", which probably was more of a marketing trick.

[@derechteDavos]

some people, especially younger people, might disagree but sido is pretty much the biggest rapper in germany. while he not always has been the most popular hes been around since the 90s and is one of the few, if not the only one, who managed to stay significant to this day. his albums always did good and while he might lost some fans over the years due to becoming to mainstream for them he always managed to gain the same amount, or even more, fans back. I would say hes kinda like the german jay z he always has been there, he always delivered but somehow always got overshadowed.

[@sophiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]

really good comparison!😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 German jay z😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 der war gut😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrKnutsen]

Since the 90's? Wasn't his first hit in 2004, which landed Aggro Berlin big? I would also not say he is overshadowed in any way. He is popular, tbh - I would not compare him to Jay-Z but more to how Eminem is nowadays (not skill wise). Both were rude and on drugs, very foul language. But later on transitioned to more positive music. In terms of overshadowed and has always been there I think you would need to mention Samy Deluxe.

[@laisito]

Sido is one of the biggest, yeah. Also Cro, although he does not only rap songs, still, his masks were very popular in the 2010s, and I think, he was a bit bigger than Sido from 2014 onwards (Cro's Prime). Of course, both of them are miles ahead from the German rappers nowadays, who only sing shit about cars, shoes and women. Or footballers...

[@mxbr623]

I think Sido has kind of emerged from being seen as a rapper into being a mainstream celebrity. Almost everyone knows who he is. Of course, he still makes music, but he is part of various TV shows and stuff like that. So music is still his profession, but he managed to pop up in other forms of entertainment and make a career outside of music.

2016+ they even stopped being German in my opinion. Most of the accents later would locally be called "Assi Deutsch", typically broken pronounciation from originally non natives which some Germans picked up to seem more "Gangsta", but in the end mostly makes them look like idiots. Most of the songs also changed from kinda meaningful and emotional to drugs, drugs, more drugs, sex, money, objectification of women, and everything into that direction.

[@obviouslyniko]

You forgot to add drugs. Nah honestly the "Assi Rap" is just shit and they shouldn't resemble Germany in terms of Music. I also stopped listening to the charts around that time and switched to English music. But Cro for example is just iconic.

If you want to explore more german rap music you should check out "Alligatoah" and "Sido". They don't just sound good but have also meaningful lyrics. When it comes to rock/punk bands I'd recommend "Die Toten Hosen" and "Die Ärzte" , they are iconic. I think most of us early 2000er kids get a lot of nostalgia when we listen to "Cro" (he is still very popular), "Revolverheld" and "Unheilig" (he has such a calming voice and beautiful songs). For me personally "Lila Wolken" by Marteria, etc. is THE nostalgic song, absolute beautiful. You should react to full songs by the artists because only 5 seconds don't show anything.

a few comments: 2012 no. 1 (and others in the list:) "Die Toten Hosen: started as aPunk band, has been around since the 80s, complete cult status in Germany - and as far as I know even in some non-German-speaking countries! Some Punk-attitude still there. And yes, Campino (their lead singer) has a stage-presence! He's a real star! The guy with the Panda Mask, Cro, who appeared again and again, was quite big in several European countries. And he wore the mask all the time, so that when he walked around without it, he would not be recognized. He has now ended his career. The last of 2014, Helene Fischer, is the most prominent star in the German genre of "Schlager" (which actually just means "hit") Schlager is a uniquely German genre-phenomenon. There are actually some videos on YT, trying to explain it. Most artists featured here are definitely successful and more than one-hit wonders. Rammstein is currently involved in a very unsavoury scandal. But yes, they were an important musical export for quite a long time!

8:00 That artist is Alligatoa (alligator written in a stupid way). He is a comedy HipHop guy who uses his music mostly to criticise society, decadence and consumerism. (Ironically, he is one of the very best artist out there even if you leave out any meaning. The song was called "Do you wanna do drugs with me" and it is actually about dramatic and unresponsible relationships. I absolutely vouch for his stuff. Try "Narben", "Du bist schö", "Amnesie" and "Lass liegen".

Some time ago I turned with the car in the driveway of my parents, windows down and spotify played "Willst du" by Alligatoah very loud and my father stood in front of the front door and the cigarette dropped out of the corner of his mouth and he was in total shock 😂I had to explain to him that this kind of music is satire and that I don't have a drug problem with 34 years. 😂 He was pissed like "What should the neighbours think?" - Well, I don't live anymore in this village since 2011, so idc 🤐🤣 And every day when I see a certain colleague at work I think of "Du bist schön" .... fits perfectly 😂

@@eastfrisianguy Ahh, describing your life wth song lyrics is nice. You do tremind me of that time when my brother had a LAN party (in the 2000s) and the guys liked to listen to this 1live show "Sataan" where satan always wanted to destroy the world, but was defeated by some stupid shit like mostly being annoyed into defeat by people. On the CD was just ONE music track. Part of it told "And when satan fell, he fell and fell and fell full on his face." but a different part just cheered "Satan, oh you my prince of hell." Of course THAT was the moment my mom walked in on them with snacks... Boy, that needed some explaining/convincing.

Alligatoah is very good. What many people overlook is who clean the rhyme structures of his songs are. He is clearly on of the end bosses of Deutschrap lyrics and rhymes.

7:48 Alligatoah is an artist who is definitly worth checking out! I'm saying artist, not musician, since this man is just a genius in several ways. Not only does his music sound good while rapping and singing, his lyrics have messages while mastering wordplay, and he also works on every single one of his music videos himself! Some of the songs I recommend the most are Du bist schön, Musik ist keine Lösung, Wie Zuhause and Nachbeben.

Actually: Germany has the third largest music market on this planet! And yes, it's very diverse in genres! And there are some legendary musicians and bands out there. As you asked about "Die Toten Hosen" < this band is around since 1982! So 40+ years on stage! They are kind of german punk! A famous german rap-group are "Fanta 4" ("Die Fantastischen Vier" = "The Fantastic Four") doing german rap music since 30+ years! The legend Udo Lindenberg started his first band in 1969 and is still in the charts and on tour, same as Marius Müller-Westernhagen. His first record was released in 1975, his last one in 2022. I saw him live in 1998 and it was the biggest concert I've been to: 106,000 people/fans attending! Herbert Grönemeyer relased his first record in 1979 and just released a new record in this year! A german songwriter by the Name of Reinhard Mey came up with his first album in 1967 and is still doing music. Last record was released two years ago. Just to name a very few! If you prefer "harder" music: Check out the video "Böhse Onkelz - So sind wir (Böhse für's Leben 2015)". The band was founded in 1980 and they are/sound like the legendary Motörhead (rip, Lemmy Kilmister), but in german style/language! Altough it's harder rock music ... if you watch this video, you'll see how much fun they have and especially their fans! I loved to see them live! Give it a try! :)

You should mention that 'Böhse Onkels' have a huge Neo-Nazi fanbase because their texts resonate with them.

Yooo I used to watch your german rap reactions years ago. Love to see you coming back to reacting to german music🔥

[@minou5760]

Because you asked for typical German rock artists: I would definitely say „Die Toten Hosen“ (translates to „the dead trousers“), they have some real classics. I loved seeing your reaction and revisiting all those songs… :)

[@equolizer]

I would add Die Ärzte (the doctors) as well. Both came from punk rock (I don't want to get into the debate if they still are lol) and have been around since the 80s. Personally I have to say I don't like what Die Toten Hosen have become. Most of their music now seems to be made to be sung while drunk at football matches with not much depth to them.

[@reeset]

Cro had his breakthrough and was very popular in this decade. He makes (imo) really nice pop-rap. Sadly u couldn't visit any of his concerts back then, because it was PACKED with 14yr-olds.

My god I'm getting old. Great video - many songs just feel like they came out yesterday hehe. Good memories 😸

[@derravensberger9395]

Two small information about German pronunciation: The "ei" in German is pronunced like the English "i", and the German "i" is pronunced like the English "ei". And the "e" at the end of words is not silence - so "Tag" is one day, "Tage" are multiple days. Without speaking the 'e', there is a confusion, if it is one day ore multiple days.

I grew up on these songs and this video brought back so many memories....

[@Chrischi3TutorialLPs]

2010: Most of them were played up and down on the radio, but there's a few good ones in there. Geboren um zu Leben in particular is a top choice. 2011: I remember a few of them because they were on the radio, but two of those i remember because i have this Spongebob album that was Spongebob themed parodies of various songs. 2012: I really only remember a few of these ones. M&F is iconic, obviously. Lila Wolken on the other hand has a really sad connotation for me. A close friend of my sister (who i was also friends with, but nowhere as close) died very unexpectedly, and this song played at her funeral. 2013: Again, didn't recognize a lot of those, but Adel Tawil's "Lieder" is great. You should go watch that one seperately, it's not so much one song as it is an hommage at all the music Adel Tawil enjoyed growing up. 2014: Terrible year in the history of German music, for Atemlos alone. 2015: I recognized like two of these, and neither one was particularily good. 2016: I might have recognized one of those. The rest? Never heard. 2017: See above. 2018: I did not recognize a single one of those, but if that is actually the best to have come out of Germany that year... unalive me. 2019: For a change, something good with Deutschland. Conclusion: Whoever made this is probably my age, but instead of being an edgy bisexual burnt out gifted kid hipster like i was, high school confused them to the point that they thought listening to rap is a personality trait, then proceeded to discard all others.

[@eastfrisianguy]

So first I was nostalgic and felt really old with 35 years, of the rap songs I know maybe 5% 😂 I know it is currently very trendy, but I was previously more in the metal and alternative area (Linkin Park, System of a Down, The Offspring) and German pop also to some extent. An American I met while gaming asked for good German songs and Tim Benzko "Wenn Worte meine Sprache wären" including translation almost made him cry. I also think the song is super nice with a very deep meaning! 😊

Sido is one of the biggest rapper in Germany. He also was one of the first people who made Rap famous in Germany (together with the Fanta4). He is something like the German Rap "Dad" i think. I can also recommend the music of the band SDP. Their music is not really on the radio (only a few songs i guess but i can only remember one that was really in the radio (but there was an online radio which played their songs)). They call them self "die bekannteste unbekannte Band der Welt" (Translation: The most known unknown band of the world) and have a range of styles inculding: party, love songs, deep songs and sarcastic songs. 😊(Can't believe their song "Ich will nur, dass du weißt" wasn't in there bc that one was quite famous)

[@LunaBianca1805]

I'd rather go with Scorpions over Rammstein, when it comes to German rock music that is internationally known bands, I'm pretty sure Tote Hosen and Ärzte are pretty well - known in the punk adjacent genres, Felix Jaehn and Robin Schulz are widely known in that housey, EDM genre area and bands like Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban, Sodom, Kreator and Destruction are probably pretty well-known by metalheads 🥰

[@XYZ-zn6qz]

From what I heard the Toten Hosen are crazy popular in Argentina

[@thomasscheideck8431]

So the Rap's in this MusikMix I wouldn't call "German Rap" ^^ The times of German Rap are history in my opinion. This is somehow a blend of Arab clan music, coupled with reggae, cheap imitated Bronx ghetto beats, and not even deep lyrics that were actually then in the rap movement in America of importance. It's all about cars, drug use, bitches, sluts and more slam*** ^^ If you want to hear actual "German Rap" you have to deal with greats like Moses Pelham, 3p, Cool Savage, Die Fantastischen Vier, Curse or Sido.

You are opening our german eyes and ears, dude. I did not know that the top hits changed so much in genre. I mean I was pregnant 2021 and til then baby was and is the reason I live on a different planet - Nevertheless, I am shook. There was so much diversity in our music charts back then. Now... Everything sounds similar. There are a few leading musicians singing about the same shit over and over again and the music sounds the same, in many beats and bits. Wow. I am not missing out, I guess. I am happy with the charts I remembered. And yeah, like many people here german music does not interest me anymore. I am listening to gaelic songs, irish and scottish bands, some indie stuff from Iceland. And oldies to 2000s. I guess I am just getting old.

[@lucdubras]

There's no access to a different language and culture quite like music. There are so many German songs that remind me of my time in school, time spent with friends and family. Please do more of these music reactions, Mert! That being said, I think it's sad to see what German music has degenerated into since 2015/16. Rap in particular has become the worst and most annoying music genre. And since it has become so popular among the youth, it's everywhere. Nowadays the charts are filled with brainless gangster music off the peg, with incoherent lyrics that don't even rhyme anymore, delivered by someone who's mumbling and hardly able to speak the language without accent, rapped on a trashy beat. No, thank you. 🚮

[@amurtigress_mobile365]

@lucudubras2185 I understand you so well about rap. I am an old style DJ in a virtual world playing european and american pop/rock/trance/disco and a lot of morew styles, usually for americans, but what my folks there are happy about is that they don't have to listen to rap/techno/dubstep at my DJ sets. It's a true escape to them hearing 80s music or Disco from the 70s, or all the other decades starting with the 60s. What I also find borderline embarassing are german Schlager songs that try desperately to sound modern by just adding techno style effects and autotune rubbish into them, as if it would save the day. *gets goosebumps all over*

Felix Jaehn ans Zedd are both German origins and big names in the EDM and house music scene. Cascada is german as Well and Rammstein and Scorpions are music Exports. In Germany themself u have Helene Fischer, the Queen of Schlager, Mark Forster, King of German Pop, Sido and Peter Fox are Legends in the Rap Scene. Cro and Alligator are both more known for their trash Pop. And Andreas Gabablier is know to sing in Austrian Folklore. And known by many movie Fans is Hans Zimmer for his compositions in Interstellar, Dune, Interception, Gladiator, Dunkirk, Pirates of the Carribean and Man of Steel.

Cro has a song called „King of raop“ so the king of rap & Pop. I think this fits pretty well, cause his songs are a kombination of rap & pop. Not as popular as he was in like 2014-2018 but still there with a big fanbase and sometimes hitting the charts for a few weeks.

The title can be translated to "Do you want to," which in the refrain fills to "Do you want to take drugs with me."

Die Toten Hosen, or referred to as the Punk Millionaires in an older version of German Trivial Pursuit, have been there since the 1980's. And admittedly, to me the last century was the time when they were of a certain importance, flair, but they kind of lost it. Die Ärzte, the other big commercial (fun) punk band from Germany never did, though. A little side note to rap taking over.. beside it really went bigger, quite some artists actually artificially blew their videos up via outo generated clicks/plays on platforms, especially since the over-use of autotune started. Without cheating, they wouldn't have become as big as they did (which surprisingly holds true even for some of those who already were successful). afaik this wasn't a thing in other genres, at least not nearly to a degree like in rap/hip hop.

[@anonymousanon4822]

I think the extreme transition from pop/edm to rap/trap music has mostly to do with streaming services. In 2014 most young people (including me) still listened to mp3 songs we shared via bluetooth (most people didn't have smartphones yet) that were either aquired as physical album copies in stores or pirated from the internet. With the rise of smartphones and first iTunes, then Spotify that shifted and especially music consumed by younger people profited since it was mostly the young generation pirating their music.
