In this book, native popular musicologists focus on their own
popular music cultures from Germany, Austria and Switzerland for
the first time: from subcultural to mainstream phenomena; from the
1950s to contemporary acts. Starting with an introduction and two
chapters on the histories of German popular music and its study,
the volume then concentrates on focused, detailed and yet concise
close readings from different perspectives (including particular
historical East and West German perspectives), mostly focusing on
the music and its protagonists. Moreover, these analyses deal with
very original specific genres such as Schlager and Krautrock as
well as transcultural genres such as Punk or Hip Hop. There are
additional chapters on characteristically German developments
within music media, journalism and the music industry. The book
will contribute to a better understanding of German, Austrian and
Swiss popular music, and will interconnect international and
especially Anglo-American studies with German approaches. The book,
as a consequence, will show close connections between global and
local popular music cultures and diverse traditions of study.
