About Deutschrock

German-language rock emerged in the 1970s when Udo Lindenberg proved rock could work in German. Herbert Groenemeyer, the Scorpions, and Westernhagen filled stadiums in the 1980s-90s. The tradition extends through punk (Die Toten Hosen, Die Aerzte) and industrial metal (Rammstein).
