Not just musically, also visually - it seems the Techno scene is always good for a new low. A few true styling highlights remain burned into our memory:
Bill: Neon... colors.
Tom: ...wigs. And neon colors.
Ge: And these huge fur boots.
*all simultaneously *
Bill: I think, neon colors...
Tom: Yes, these cow boots and, like...
Gu: Boots, mini-skirt and *points*
Bill: NeoncolorsIfindreallyterrible, by the way, I just saw: Neon colors are becoming a trend again now.
Tom: True.
Bill: I saw that yesterday or the day before...
Ge: But who, pray, did set that trend??
Bill: Who did set that trend! I think it's terrible. Neon colors are absolutely disgusting, like, neon boots and such, I find totally... no.
While Berlin Hip Hop is representing toughness, 2002/2004 a new, much more sensitive music trend comes forth: Wir Sind Helden, Silbermond and Juli bring Pop-Rock back to the charts with strong-charactered front-women, self-written songs and German texts.
*playing "Die perfekte Welle" (Juli) *
Bill: Nice, that somebody started that again, and that a band really again had success with that, with German texts - like, e.g. Wir Sind Helden.
And we continue in German. In summer 2005, four students from Magdebourg catapult themselves to the top of the charts and into the daydreams of thousands of girls. Tokio Hotel causes a mass-hysteria like no other German boy-combo ever before.
Klaas (Viva moderator): First of all: TH are deservedly successful; and because the texts they sing speak to the heart of many young girls.
*weird puppet1*: You sell more records when you're beautiful, ya know. That's how the game works.
*weird puppet2*: Yeah. We understand that.
*weird puppet1*: We understand it, man.
Gülcan (Viva moderator): Actually, the first thing I noticed about the band was the hair, but then, in the next second, I thought: Wow, he's only 16, and has such a voice?! That's what I noticed right afterwards... this voice, his manner, the moves ... somehow elvish.
Sido(?) (German rapper): TH are successful because they masquerade, and, you know, in Germany, people who masquerade have most success... Have I told you that theory before?
[He's a bit joking here: He himself is the guy with the mask you see for a short moment. I guess that's a bit more "masquerade" than Bill's make-up.]
And TH start a new trend in Pop music: teen stars.
Bill: Before us, it hadn't happened for a long time that a young band made music; that had been together for six years already...
Tom: ...and is so young.
Bill: ...and are so young. That was pretty new.
