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?

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. :(
