Music

Lots of Neue Deutsche Härte, lots of techno. Also some synthpop, rap and metal. CTRL+F to sort for genres until I implement something better (which might be never).
Didn't include artists like ABBA, Britney Spears, Eminem, 2pac because you already know them. WIP
German ◦ International ◦ KPop/JPop

German

  • Rammstein
    Genres: Neue Deutsche Härte
    Pretty much all their songs are bangers. Currently controversial because of rape allegations.

  • Brutalismus 3000
    Genres: electronic music, gabber, hardcore, techno
    Love them so much. One of my favorite artists atm.

  • U96
    Genres: techno
    Absolute classic.

  • Kollegah
    Genres: rap, gangsta rap
    One of the best German rappers imo. Infinitum and John Gotti are some of his best songs.

  • Spongebozz
    Genres: rap, gangsta rap
    Gangsta rap Spongebob. Included because of the meme potential.

  • SSIO
    Genres: rap, hip-hop
    Another rapper.

  • Unheilig
    Genres: Neue Deutsche Härte, pop
    More pop than the other NDH bands on this list. But slaps.

  • Schattenmann
    Genres: Neue Deutsche Härte, pop

  • Eisbrecher
    Genres: Neue Deutsche Härte

  • Kraftklub
    Genres: rock, punk-rock
    Solid punk-rock band. Often political lyrics (duh).

  • Falco
    Genres: pop, rock, Neue Deutsche Welle
    German/Austrian classic. RIP.

  • Chuzpe
    Genres: Neue Deutsche Welle, New Wave, postpunk
    Lesser known Austrian band from the 80s. Sooooo underrated and sadly not many songs are on Spotify.

  • IFA Wartburg
    Genres: synthpop, folk music
    Included because of the goofy concept. It's a Swedish band (included here because singing in German) from the 90s making music that sounds like East German propaganda music. Saw their music on Tiktok a while ago, but no, it's not actual propaganda music (not from the GDR and most definitely not from Nazi Germany).

International

  • DJ Mad Dog
    Genres: gabber, techno, hardcore
    Great music, again. Gives energy buff.

  • Susumu Hirasawa
    Genres: synthpop, art pop, electronic, experimental
    He is Japanese, but doesn't really fit with the JPop bands/singers so included him here. Watched Paprika (2006) only because of his music. Wish I could experience him live once because his concerts look wild. Absolute icon. Not much of his music is on Spotify.

  • Title
    Description
    Own opinion.

    • TBA: French79, GAspard Augé, Sexy Sushi, London After Midnight, Orden Ogan, Ascendant Vierge, Indecorum, Kreator, Beast in Black

  • Crayon Pop
    Genres: KPop, electropop, disco-pop
    Very catchy and funky. Bar Bar Bar and Saturday Night are my favorite songs.

  • Babymetal
    Genres: JPop, kawaii metal, metal
    Love them + their style. Gives +20% energy.

  • Dreamcatcher
    Genres: KPop, rock, pop
    Characteristic are the guitar riffs.

  • Atarashii Gakko!
    Genres: jpop, rock
    Usually dressed in school uniforms, have this "rebellish" concept.

  • One Ok Rock
