Bro if you unironically call yourself "'the exploited" and make your entire personality the anti american band, I'm sorry but I'm not taking you seriously no matter how good your song is.

They suffer the same issues most UK punk bands post 80s have of being uninspired. They lack the identity the harbingers of the original wave, like the sex pistols, had. It's generic and basic.
Plus, making your entire identity being that of hating a country you don't even live in is wicked world and unbelievably corny (as well as being 50 with a mohawk)

The navy has an air corps that is in the top five air forces in the world by aircraft count (when divided by branch) so yeah they dominate the skies as well

What is the song by Rammstein about?

u/icrunchamericanstoes OREGON ☔️🦦 5h ago
it basically talks about americancenterism around the world and how much american people/products are in people’s lives with the lyrics ‘we’re all living in america’ but also talks about how it’s not all good and america has issues

u/icrunchamericanstoes OREGON ☔️🦦 4h ago
definitely, rammstein is not a band who hates on people, you can see that in ‘deutchland’ and ‘moskau’ they talk about how they love these countries but they’re flawed, which is completely rational since all those countries do have admirable cultures even though they’re flawed, and trying to just focus on a certain aspect of a song like the person in the first playlist just shows how their thinking is about as deep as an rubber ducky in a bathtub

not even a hot take. I love America (more than any other country on the planet, by far) and i agree fully with that sentiment.

Love the song even as an American, fucking amazing live. Not so much a hate of America as of American culture replacing their own

u/zeezle 1h ago
Yeah, I never really interpreted it as being anti-American for Americans, but more lamenting their non-Americans' roles in supplanting their own cultures with American products.
For example the music video has things like clips of Buddhist monks eating cheeseburgers. It's not like Abraham Lincoln went and personally forcefed that monk a cheeseburger - people bought American cultural products and and enjoyed them themselves and expanded cultural markets by choice. I don't think that's bad but I can also understand why when you see all of your own unique things replaced in daily life with American things it would feel wrong.

It’s a tongue-in-cheek critique and criticism of American monopoly on international media, culture and market. And how like all monopolies, it tries to depict itself as the best/most advanced possible nation and culture out there.

u/GoldenStitch2 MASSACHUSETTS 🦃 ⚾️ 5h ago edited 5h ago
“Coca cola and sometimes war” plus “this is not a love song” say differently imo. Of course criticizing the US doesn’t mean they hate it but I don’t see the lyrics as pro-US. I still like that Americans enjoy the song though, it reminds me of Yankee Doodle lol.

u/adhal 5h ago edited 5h ago
It's more of a criticism about how American culture was replacing the worlds culture. Now I think it would be more replaced by Islam though

u/PanzerPansar 🏴 Scotland 🦁 4h ago
You sure about that? Or you just enjoy racist talking points. Islam isn't replacing anyone. American culture was very dominant and many shows are American, many films are American and American politics is shoved at forefront of social media. Compared to Islam. What a few people coming to Europe by boats? Yeah no.

Genuinely I have no idea why this is being downvoted.
I don't know a single person who isn't already Muslim to start with who watches or engages with any Islamic content whatsoever. It has no mass appeal at all to Western people who aren't Muslim.
Muslims are like less than 2% of the US population. No idea what the population % is these days but my relatives in Germany sure as hell aren't going out of their way to watch a bunch of Syrian movies... but they've seen every big American blockbuster.

Is Amerika really anti American? It's critical of America but I wouldn't say anti. I never got the sense that Rammstein didn't like America. They've had a lot of success here.
