  10. And of Course Germany! • Originally began in West Germany when Brit punk became popular. • Male (Düsseldorf), PVC (West Berlin), Big Balls and the Great White Idiot (Hamburg) • More New Wave influenced, synth-heavy (Neue Deutsche Welle) bands, but also a backlash • Kreuzberg, original “home” of German punk • Deutschpunk- term for 80s German hardcore political punk • Slime (Hamburg) first deutschpunk band to have albums banned because of politics

  11. More German Punk! • Deutschpunk ran along side American Hardcore • Late 80s saw mostly apolitical “fun punk” bands, similar to American pop-punk • Most bands had mostly German lyrics • Wider audience when singing in English • Not a large punk scene in East Germany, only in “secret” • Bands allowed by government, criticized for cooperating • Several Festivals- Force Attack (Rostock), Punk im Pott (Essen/Oberhausen), Punk and Disorderly (Berlin) • Chaostage in Hanover/Wuppertal no longer takes place because of riots and destruction.
