German Rock - Neue Deutsche Welle

Neue Deutsche Welle

Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) is an outgrowth of British punk rock, post-punk and New Wave which appeared in the mid-to late 1970s. The field did not last long, however, done in by over-commercialization in the early 1980s. Since ca. 2003, it seems that a new "Neue Deutsche Welle" has arrived. Many German singing young pop and rock groups become successful in Germany (Tokio Hotel, Wir sind Helden, Silbermond, Juli and Revolverheld for example), although the international breakthrough is not yet in sight, if not counting Tokio Hotel who are gaining success in Europe, The U.S., Israel and Latin America.
