Important Question On The Future Of Music
 

Not really but here's a question anyway.

How long do you think it'll be before SJW's deem the term 'Krautrock' offensive?

Do you think it is now?

What would you call it instead?

How about Bockrock.

I'd call it Plankrock, after Conny Plank.

But what else are the Germans known for? Beer, kraut, and what else?

















...Meinkampfrock?

Schnitzelrock

"Kraut" can also mean "Weed" in German, which is pretty fitting.
This etymology should simply replace the one with the terrible, racist K-word slur.

I wish the term "Motorik" was less specific and could just take over the Krautrock name. If only because I like the word better. Krautrock doesn't really mean anything anyway.

I prefer kosmische musik, though that term might be better-applied to the Berlin Schools than to the rockers. Just the same, I consider Germany's melding of classical, post-psychedelic, and free jazz music to have a very "cosmic" quality, especially with its focus on electronic experimentation and improvisation around minimalistic arrangements.

"Cosmic music" works great for me.

Beer-rock-race-y?

Its my understanding that krautrock is just progressive, psychedelic rock that happens to come from Germany. How far off am I with that?

Having anything done by Germans equated to cabbage is more tedious and tiresome (because it's done ad nauseam) than offensive.

I avoid the word altogether and use German Rock instead. Since it came before NDW I think Alte Deutsche Welle would make better name. Then again I don't like neologisms for music genres e.g. proto-Punk. "Motorik" describes a drum beat, let's keep it that way.

Who cares what SJW's say? They don't influence policy significantly and represents a small minority of loud internet voices.

We should be more worried about people like Jenny McCarthy.

McCarthyism part II

Kruat Rock it is,Kraut rock it will stay,now pass the hallogallo, and put Can back on the shelf up right in its sleeve when yer done.Were you born in a barn?

The Med Scare

Truth. If it wasn't for that gorgeous moron I don't even know if the public at large would even be aware of the "vaccine scare". Or at least not on any level that would give it any more perceived validity than fluoride in drinking water.

what is krautrock? German rock? and why is it offensive?

Kraut is slang for a person of German descent, which is deemed disrespectful.

I think kraut is more delicious than disrespectful.

Dam straight, home slice.
