Germans do experimental stuff better than any other western country. Stuff like Rammstein and the Scorpions isn't representative of their contributions to modern music at all.

What is? I've always seen Scorpions as pretty contemporary.

You clearly don't know history. The Beatles invented Rock, and they were from the UK.
>>
>>77148131
Bands like Neu! and Kraftwerk as well as Krautrock and the early electronic movement in general had a big impact on a lot of anglo musicians such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed. There's a reason why so many famous rock musicians of the 70s and 80s went to Berlin to record albums. They've made a fuckhuge contribution to rock music considering they're not an English-speaking country, mostly under the radar but there nonetheless.

They have goofy accents sometimes.
Scorpions for example. This is a nice song but a goofy accent is a bit distracting:

They are and aren't the prime example for different reasons.

Their lyrics are very primitive, actually but if you don't speak the language then you don't have very high expectations or a feeling for that.

You have the very same effect in lots of European countries. American pop songs with shitty in ridiculous or shitty lyrics get cut more slack than songs in the actual native languages.

The only reason why they are kind of popular at home are their extreme live shows.

the sad state of America, our culture is dead.
Granted I realize its because country music became pop-country garbage. But thats an issue in itself.
I just can't believe a country that grew up on bluegrass, then country, and early rock now views it as such a terrible thing.
Meanwhile spic and nig-hop songs are topping the charts.

Traditional Americana is dead, every generation moving forward really is LE 56% face. I'm so done with this gay earth bring on civil war or WW3, pelase.

Also that list is pretty awful, the subgenres are all over the place. And lacks prog.
