The development of German pop music represents a fascinating
cultural mirror to the history of post-war Germany, reflecting
sociological changes and political developments. While film studies
is an already established discipline, German pop music is currently
emerging as a new and exciting field of academic study. This
pioneering companion is the first volume to provide a comprehensive
overview of the subject, charting the development of German pop
music from the post-war period 'Schlager' to the present
'Diskursrock'. Written by acknowledged experts from Germany, the UK
and the US, the various chapters provide overviews of pertinent
genres as well as focusing on major bands such as CAN, Kraftwerk or
Rammstein. While these acts have shaped the international profile
of German pop music, the volume also undertakes in-depth
examinations of the specific German contributions to genres such as
punk, industrial, rap and techno. The survey is concluded by an
interview with the leading German pop theorist Diedrich
Diederichsen. The volume constitutes an indispensible companion for
any student, teacher and scholar in the area of German studies
interested in contemporary popular culture.
