I mean.. ofc. You always hear that German must sound ultra stiff and edgy, but I somehow can't really believe that. So does that mean the language does not sound beautiful? Cuz as I recall it it's ****ing beautiful.. It's poetic and deep and you can express urself so flowery, lol..

Like when I listen to calm german music, like Max Herre, I think: "How can that sound hard to anyone? It's such a soft, and flowing language.
Max Herre - Anna

ofc.. when you hear Rammstein you think: "Whaaaat the **** is going on?", but Rammstein do not really talk german. They roll their R like ****, NOBODY would ever talk like that..

I believe Bavarian might sound cool tho, hehe.
Hans Söllner - Marijuana fürn Herrn Zimmermann

I'd be really thankful if someone would try this out and listen to the songs and just tell me how the language sounds in their ears.
thank you
Ooh! Hans Zimmer

lol jk

What is the genre of that first song? That music in the background sounds like an awesome sample for a rap song!

sorry, the language for both still sounds...edgy and rough. I don't like it. Sorry.

I can listen to French, Spanish, Italian, even Russian but German is, sorry, the ugliest language on the planet imo.


ALSO: you can post youtube videos like this:




If you go to the "Music banter newcomers guide" in the introduction category of this forum, you can learn how to make videos appear directly like that from that thread.
