      The west did nothing wrong. World population has exploded because of industrialization, there is more food and more wealth for the entire world. The west ended slavery around the world. The problem is developing nations make too many people and outpace their economic growth. Colonialism, industrialism, brought everything the west had to everyone else. Wasn't for the right reasons but who's histories reflect doing things for the right reasons. The result is a rapid expansion and modernization for all peoples.

    My personal feeling on the song is that they're not necessarily critisising the average american, but more their government/big companies and the reach around the world. Wherever you go, you will find it's influence, much as the internet reflects nowadays too by being very american-centered. Like refering to non-american films as foreign, like it's a universal experience that american films are your native films.
    Keeping in mind when the song was actually released (2004), I think the "sometimes war" was even more pointed than we would interpret it today. The song, in it's entirety, is still relevant today, almost 20 years later, but at the time, the US was actively ramping up their invasion in Iraq. So it makes sense to point at that and go "they export war as well".

    Don't be afraid to have a bit of German directness, esp. when you react to Rammstein. ;-)
    Actually, IF there are Americans hating it, there are probably the same amount of Americans who would totally agree with Rammsteins sarcastic criticism. The American society is VERY divided esp. in the last years. Like half of them think it is the greatest thing since pizza, and the other half thinks it should radically change it's course. So whatever you say, there might be some Americans hating it and others loving it. Some applauding and some being offended.
    You did a great job to be as diplomatic as we wish politicians were.
    All the best, very entertaining reaction!

    You are right with the culture war.

    It is discribing the front lines.
    Example. "Der Russe steht schon vor Berlin" has the meaning that the Russian Army set the front line already in the edge of Berlin.
    So Mickey Mouse in front of Paris means that there is a cultural frontline the US put their with Disneyland.

    I don't think the song is meant to be a reflection, more to poke fun at how the US of A influences and affects most countries. I don't think it is in mean spirit, though. They're just having fun.

    Hey kids. Gen-X metalhead here. American expatriate of three decades in Germany. No guarantees of useful insight.
    I think the most important line in the lyrics is _This is not a love song._ They're making that clear 'cause if you know about Bruce Springsteen's _Born in the USA,_ you know americans don't think any song naming America could possibly _not be_ a love song. It's also -a quote from- the title of a song by Public Image Ltd. that featured Johnny Rotten (of Sex Pistols fame), one of America's not favorite english punk artists. Maybe.
    _Und vor Paris steht Mickey Mouse_ (Mickey Mouse has reached Paris) is the kind of line you'd hear in a report from a war, insinuating that Disney is invading, seeing that Disneyland Paris was newish when this song came out.
    Rammstein is very much painting a picture of America as a busybody Karen of world-policing, and that they're a little pervasive.
    If you think you've spotted the lie, then tell us where you _no you didn't._
    For good or ill, by hook or by crook, America's somehow become the pilot of Starship Earth, 'cause they may not have all the money, but they have all the stuff the money wants, they have all the cool weapons, and they feel that lends them some level of authority.
    Like, all my life, I was regaled with legends of how in WWII, the US came to Europe and cleaned house. But after living here long enough, I found out that what really happened was more like we got to Germany, started climbing the _soul-warpingly massive_ mountain of dead soldiers that the russians buried the Wehrmacht under, executing any surviving nazis that didn't know anything about rockets or nuclear reactions, wrapped up the nazi scientists that did in the Stars and Stripes we were going to raise over the Reichstag until we found the russians got it first, and sent all those evil eggheads back to Nevada to build The Bomb.
    None of that is exactly true, but it kind of is.
    And Bisscute! The kind of people that _would_ get angry at you about this reaction _are going to_ get angry at you about this reaction. They're angry. The diplomacy you're attempting will do nothing to prevent that, but the rest of us see and acknowledge your peaceful intentions, and appreciate your efforts.
    Anyway, that's my "Finally, I just subscribed" comment for you.

  • @arc6017
    @arc6017 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Great one! You nailed the meaning Biss, I just think it's not ONLY a critic to what America forced on the world but also a critic to the rest of the world for embracing a lot of other things that weren't forced : Who doesn't love a Big MaC, Cola and a Hollywood blockbuster? I'm from Portugal an I love it!
    The song pokes fun at America, but the line "We are all living in America" seems more like a self critic to all non-Americans. We are guilty of it, forced or not, we embraced the good and the bad.
    Ironically this was a huge hit in America and also in the world but Rammstein don't seem so fond of it, after the tour where they launched it, they don't play it that often live.
    Oh and yeah, the overall theme of the video is about the moon landing being an hoax produced in a studio in Hollywood.

    I think Rammstein is loved by so many people, because if you want to you can dive deep into their lyrics. Offending or blaming is not the aim of this band, but to selfreflect. For example Deutschland was loved and also hated in Germany from the left to the right parties. I think what they like to do is to provoke and make you think about what the lyrics might tell you.
    But on the other hand, if you do not know the lyrics its fantasic music and of course their stage performances are unbeaten in my opinion.
    A good example is "Dicke Titten", if you only hear the song without seeing the video its a perfect what I would name "Ballermann-song" / "springbreak-song" but with the lyrics and the video it goes deeper.
    Songs of Rammstein I would suggest: Dicke Titte, Angst, the piano version of "Mein Herz brennt", Radio, and so on.
    And to US Americans I don´t think that "America" was intended to offend you, but to give you the oportunity to selfreflect what you are doing and want to do as the "Leader of the western, democratic world".

It's a tongue in cheek song about the weird commercialisation of American consumer culture and the popular belief that Nasa at one point was being run by ex German war criminals.

America influences the world but from the position of power - cultural power (low-quality mass culture), economic power (corporations) and military power (interventions in other countries, usually when it's profitable for US).

    It is an indictment of US influence throughout the world, culturally and politically. I am an American, and I am ok with the message. Anyone giving you hate for Rammstein's message is misguided. I can understand my fellow Americans being insulted by the messaging, but free thinkers will understand that we are not above criticism.

    It is a bit ironic...these guys came from East Berlin and lived under Russian oppression until 1991, and it was Ronald Reagan and America that were huge variables in bringing down the wall and the USSR. What is great is that Rammstein is able to criticize America and the west...I bet they didn't sing many songs criticizing East Germany or the USSR (understanding that they didn't exist at that time...probably wouldn't have been allowed to exist). And I bet they certainly enjoy the US dollars their albums are making. I personally think this is awesome. I have no problem with their criticism of the US, and our 'we are better than you' attitude. That's what the lyrics early on about '...leading' when dancing. The US does have a way of trying to force our beliefs on others around the world, because we think our way is best. I love these guys, and think Til Lindemann is brilliant.

      I agree, with most of what you wrote, but I have to say their song and video of "Deutschland" is a very critical view on their love and hate relationship towards their own country. As a Rammstein fan you certainly know, one of my favorite songs from them, "Stein um Stein" It describes in a metaphorical way, how the feeling of "life" was, in former east Germany. Or "Radio", the communist GDR regime could put you in jail , if they caught you, hearing music from the west. That video describes it, in a perfect way! That's Rammstein, they're never afraid to speak about very controversial things! That's the main reason why I love them!

We all know, if we use our brain, that in every country there are some flaws. That's ok, as long as you work on those flaws to make it better. But a lot of US Citizens have a talent to stay blind to their problems. So they see no need to better things. Instead they continue, to pray their mantra, "...

    As an American, I'm not at all offended by Rammstein giving us a hard time about things. As someone who's read a bit of history, it's not lost on me that there have been millions of people who have immigrated to America from German-speaking nations, and those people went on to help create what has become American culture. The biggest thing to smile about, of course, is their significant use of the Apollo missions in their video, and who was it who was the principal rocket engineer for the program? Wernher Von Braun, a German of V-2 rocket fame, we brought to America after WWII through Operation Paperclip. In this way, they're also making fun of themselves, which shows just how talented they are to have so many different meanings in their art. They are an incredible band, extremely talented, and if they make fun of us for being so culturally influential, it's all good. We know we are. I just hope that more of the positive influences have been embraced than the negative ones.

    Coming into this late as I just discovered your reaction videos...and love Rammstein as much as you do. You interpretation is right on point as what they are saying. In the 60's and 70's Americanization of the world by corporate America was a big deal. And an embarrassment to anyone that's ever lived in a country other than the US. (I lived in Germany a few years) Today though there is a higher-level corporate influence trying to influence the world into poverty so the rich and entitled will rule uber alles. But that is another story that we can just hope Rammstein writes a song about. Wishing you well. Peace 🙂

Im from Texas and am a Native American (Apache/Cherokee/Navajo)….and they forced my grandparents to not speak our languages.

    You should also consider the context of the time in which the video was created. That was the time when America started the Iraq war. And countries like Germany or France were not convinced by the presented "evidence" for weapons of mass destruction etc. and saw no basis for starting a war. President Bush at the time did not like that at all and said that anyone who is not with America is against America. So relations were strained at that time.
    Of course, this criticism does not mean that Rammstein does not like America. And and I think Americans shouldn't take that too personally or feel offended by it.

    Well this song came out about a year of so after the disgusting invasion of the USA in Iraq. So it's much more than just criticism of the spreading of american culture on the whole globe, it's also about how that is often done forcefully by the american imperialism since the 50ties of the last century.
    The soft version is the export of the culture, the temptations of consumerism.
    But "Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss, weiß noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss" obviously means that if you (another country) don't do what the USA want's you to do, then you just did not yet realize that they will make you do it by force. Either by sanctions, hurting you economy, or simply by militray action and bombing your country until you comply.
