NEUE DEUTSCHE WELLE - CLAUDIA LONKIN KARTONIERT...

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW)  or German New Wave  was made extraordinarily popular in the 1970s
and 1980s by the likes of Nena's 99 Luftballoons and Trio's Da Da Da-and then left as quickly
as it came. Conventional wisdom among artists dictates that it's better to burn out than fade
away  but this doesn't tell the full story of NDW-the reason for its rapid rise and fall  the
historical context that necessitated the genre  and where the energy of the NDW movement went
after its end. The genre has international influences but still demonstrates a uniquely German
desire to build a new  sanitized identity in the aftermath of World War II. Originally quite
subversive and underground  NDW became exponentially more mainstream until it could no longer
sustain itself creatively. And rather than disappearing  it helped give rise to the post-Cold
War rave craze and is still an important touchstone in music history.
