Pop culture of a Nazi 21st century

First, I doubt there will be a comic book craze in the ATL, especially considering that many of the leaders of the American comic book movement were actually Jewish. Consider that Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Joel Schuster, and Will Eisner were all Jewish. Without their contributions, it is hard to picture comics achieving any resemblance to OTL...

In the ATL, consider the idea that with the 1960s/1970s, you will have a large group of young "Baby Boomers" who will be exploring their spiritual identities. As such, you can expect after 1968 on the one hand, neo-pagan groups such as the Asatru Free Assembly, Odinist Fellowship, and National Socialist Kindred. This would be under the influence of writers such as Miguel Serrano and Julius Evola. This could provide a parallel to the "Age of Aquarius" and "counter-culture" of OTL. On the other side of the aisle, could be the rise of the "Jesus Generation" evangelical movement. To make things interesting, would be the rise of the "Jesus Army" which was the arm of the American Christian evangelical movement in Europe starting in 1972. In the ATL, they could be seen as a "counter-revolutionary" movement in the ATL.

In terms of science fiction, consider the pulp science-fiction of the Perry Rhodan series to serve as an initial model. One site has shown a "Commander McClane" and the "Orion 8" spacecraft exploring new worlds in the 1960s. One can certainly check out:

Also, cheesy musicals aimed at youth are going to be made in the ATL. In OTL, even the East Germans developed cheesy musicals similar to the vein of "West Side Story" and "Haispray" (minus the liberal social advocacy):

While the two had very different cultures, for the level of state control of media and such, the Soviet Union might be a good guideline for a victorious Germany.
 
I doubt Rock music would even develop in a Nazi-victorious world, so while it might be tempting to think that Heavy Metal or Skinhead Rock would become popular in a world where the Nazis win, I doubt it, simply because the Nazis would supress it due to its African-American origins, and the fact that in OTL, rock music came about as a result of social changes in the years after an Allied victory in World War II.

Techno and folk would be popular though, along with military-influenced marches.

There would be massive-scale epic movies about everything from Teoutonic Knights to the conquest of the Soviet Union.

Of course, there would be lots of magazines featuring built, blonde models, but OTL has that too.:rolleyes:
 
Donitz or no Donitz, I think the Nazi regime would have likely mellowed with time. There is no way it could sustain itself at the radical level that Hitler maintained. By 2008 (nevermind 2020) I believe it would have mellowed to the point where it could be considered more of a conventional "fascist" regime. So yeah, I doubt it would be as repressive as a lot are thinking. The Gestapo might have also mellowed into a more heavy handed version of the FBI as well.
 
It depends on how victory comes about, and just who is in charge for Nazi Germany's time of cultural and not military growth. On the one hand during Hitlers time deviant art gallery's, anti-black music programs, and a style of classical entertainment was encouraged. At the same time films were not on average the huge propaganda pieces many would expect of the Nazi's.

If Goring is in charge in the 50's and 60's then we can expect a push for classical things. God knows what life under Himmler and the SS would look like, either a nice divided society of SS approved painting, film, and literature, and everything sold under the table.

Then one could look to Speer, on the whole no reason why rock music could not appear, nor the wilder fads.

I'd expect a rise in sports clubs, and just about anything that would have state oversight but not total control.

"Here's General Eisenhauer's phone number...the English for "We Give Up"...and a summary of our military situation in one rude word."

ROFLMAOFTNTH

Yeah... :D

"I've got loads of great ideas for Germany, you know. Let's see... Autobahns - they're good - we should build more of them, um... and we're facing a growing housing shortage, so we should do something about that..."

"You couldn't do me a quick 'Heil Doenitz,' could you?"
 
I came across this on the net and just had to post it. Character from a children's show, in said Nazi victory timeline.
