| book description |

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), or â€œGerman New Wave,â€ was made extraordinarily popular in the 1970s and 1980s by the likes of Nena's ""99 Luftballons"" and Trio's ""Da Da Da""â€”and then left as quickly as it came. Conventional wisdom among artists dictates that itâ€™s better to burn out than fade away, but this doesnâ€™t tell the full story of NDWâ€”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.
