neue deutsche welle
Parent Genre: rock

Neue Deutsche Welle is a music genre that emerged in Germany in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by its use of synthesizers, drum machines, and electronic instruments, as well as its lyrics in the German language. The genre was a response to the dominance of English-language music in Germany at the time and was seen as a way to promote German culture and identity. Neue Deutsche Welle was popularized by a group of artists who became known for their catchy, danceable songs and distinctive fashion sense. The genre had a significant impact on German pop music and continues to influence artists today.
