Pop Culture AH: Rammstein Band On A Nazi Victory World

[TheTimeRanger]

Is It Possible? What will happened to the band? or even its possible that the band will never existed?

Rammstein are fiercely anti-Nazi and their worldview was shaped by their members growing up in the totalitarian shithole that was East Germany.

They'd likely be underground, subject to harrassment (like Feeling B and... whatever that other pre-Rammstein band was) and even more outspoken about their views.

Hell, it'd be awesome if "Links 2 3 4" was actually an underground anti-Nazi resistance anthem.

So it means that they will still existed as leftists on this world,like they did on OTL?

Yep, a massive change in the 40s definitely means a band is going to form and be exactly the same fifty years later.

Everyone know pop culture is immune to massive sociocultural butterflies!

We had recently a discussion about music and pop culture in a world where Nazis retained their hold of Europe, and reached a grim conclusion about one aspect of the new style of music that could be deemed acceptable by Party propaganda:

Really, think about it.
No regressive American influences, unique and new sounds, politically neutral lyrics about everyday life, reclusive artists without any desire for excessive publicity. Artists styling themselves "music workers", performing in uniformed costumes and void of facial expressions and emotions, like machines.

None of them would have been born in the first place.

Although the ASB TL's where ISOTed nations use Rammstein as psychological warfare against the Nazis are always enjoyable.

Rammstein wouldn't exist, but a German *Metal band using lots of pyrotechnics and regularly associated with nazis by the (western) media is possible. Perhaps they would actually have nazi sympathies, just like Rammstein members are leftist. For example their "Links 2 3 4" equivalent could be some kind of metal version of "Die Fahne Hoch", "SS marschiert" or something like that .

German uniforms and wunderwaffen were pretty slick-looking, but their music was awfully boring. They didn't have nice melodies like Russian songs or anything, just bland marches and forgettable tunes. They were also vehemently against all that they saw as "degenerate" (except Nazism itself, lol), so anything like modern pop music, especially metal, would be out of the question.
