Hallo aus England.

Being Germans I assume you all listen to Rammstein on repeat so I wanted to ask:

What’s your favourite Rammstein song and why the fuck are you letting this community die and returning to Reddit?

Fucking treacherous Kraut cunts. Anyway, Rammstein song?

    I’m still here, but there’s next to no content on Lemmy in my field of interest. Gave up social media for the most part, suddenly found time to enroll in a part-time PhD (and thriving). Could have graduate years ago if not for the time-grave that is reddit.

    My favourite is “Keine Lust”. At least at the moment. It perfectly encapsulates the state of my mental and physical health.

    And I think the other German communities are doing better. You know, where the Germans speak German. When there were just German fishes on the front page you people weren’t satisfied either.

    Laibach in N.Korea - Dass jemand ein Konzert gibt, dass für jemand anderen als das anwesende Publikum gedacht ist, erlebt man nicht so häufig.

    I think you might like the Lonely Goatherd.

    Oh Mist, hab ich schon wieder Star Trek und Star Wars verwechselt? Sorry.

    All Germans listen to Rammstein on repeat? 🤨

    So, I have to admit I bought their first two albums when I was young and edgy. I’m sure a lot of people eventually grow out of their “let’s listen to rape fantasy songs performed by a guy that was accused of actual rape” phase that other people might never have been in, so I guess there are quite a lot of Germans that don’t heavy-rotate them.

    Before all that row zero drama I checked out their then-recent album. “Deutschland” was great and still sticks out to me, partly because I liked the song as such but also partly because the text is not so much about wanting to fuck corpses and much more about the inner conflicts of the German identity.

      “let’s listen to rape fantasy songs performed by a guy that was accused of actual rape”

      What? Which song does that? I don’t speak German so they all just sound like, ‘cool shouty German’, with flame throwers to me.

        Not OP and actually a Rammstein fan, but a bunch of them do.

        Ich tu dir weh, Puppe, and Wiener Blut are the first ones coming to mind.

          Or weißes Fleisch. Or Liese.

          I mean, I get it, their selling point is provocation. They bank on themes like that. I’m not even judging, I’m just saying that keeps and drives more than enough people away from them, too. It’s not like they are universally loved, fat from it. Their fans are devoted, certainly… Concerts are sold out, no matter how big the stadium. But I know more people that made a conscious decision not to listen to them than who do and their texts play a big part in that (which is absolutely in line with their intentions as they could hardly sell provocation if people didn’t feel offended).

          Ich tu dir weh, Puppe, and Wiener Blut

          I checked the English lyrics:

          Wiener Blut

          Just a guy chillin’ in a dark castle.

          Ich tu dir weh

          Seems like someone is playing with rats and barbed wire.

          Puppe

          Just a bro complaining about his sister giving him a shitty doll. Nothing bad.

          You Krauts are VERY sensitive. No sense of humour as is tradition.

          No wonder Rammstein are more popular outside Germany. Their own people take everything to be dark and evil. How far the children of die Brüder Grimm have fallen. :(
