That last point is worth exploring. Perhaps that’s how many other people feel and they’re all creating their own German culture? It’s certainly not as simple as phones, there’s trade, supermarkets, online shopping etc.
I’m with you about the music. Most english folk music that gets played at festivals is awful but their is also some amazing traditional songs that when approached well are brilliant.
I’m not sure if people feel like they have the time and energy to create their own culture right but it may be a logical consequence in the future! Suddenly I really appreciate the neighbors that make the festivals happen, I really took it for granted my whole life.
Oh really, you’re experiencing the same? Many of these approved songs are actually English here, but there are also a few German bangers haha. 😂 and the youth started to listen to a mix of folk music & electronic music 🤷🏼♀️:D
We have lots of young people starting live bands, now. Playing crossover styles.
One of the upsides of Covid is some kids were totally happy at home practicing! I work part time for a music charity and we have a great group right now, pretty advanced for their years!
Yeah, my son got really into his trumpet, during COVID. Now, he just wants to play ⚽
