Medieval metal is pretty obscure in my area, so I can't say much.

I think that unless you play very typical genres like Teutonic thrash, power metal with medieval elements or industrial/gothic, most people won't even think much about the fact that you are a German band.

Would you call him a pretty good embodiment of the German spirit?

To be honest, I don't often pay much attention to the German roots of this or that rock bands. Because while I may just be ignorant of it, I don't see much "Germanness" about Accept or Scorpions other than their names and origins

Well, Heine is Jewish, but as far as I know, he is one of the most influential poets and romantics in German literature, for example.

The era of German porn has passed between me, to be honest. But thanks to Ramstein and German Gothic, people here love homoerotic jokes about German BDSM culture. Probably only gachimuchi shifted the focus to the USA or back to Japan. Although the so-called "Teutonic metal" and German post-punk are also popular here, because everyone thinks that German music consists exclusively of Eurodance, post-punk like Depeche Mode and power/thrash metal.

Well, Pushkin is actually the Russian Heine and the Russian Byron, who is considered the greatest Russian poet due to his work on the modern Russian language and the creation of many of the best works of the Russian poetry. Including icons of Russian Byronic heroes. Interestingly, Pushkin is also a quarter black. Dahl was a Danish-Russian military man who created the most famous Russian dictionary.

Well, if we discard the expected analogies with Nazism and fascism, then the first association with the Germans in Russia is Gothic knights and beer with sausages. Previously, there were also memes about German porn, but with the beginning of the 10s, it feels like the Japanese began to be considered the most experienced nation in creating erotica.

I can't call myself a full-fledged history enthusiast, but I have read about German Romanticism in the 18th and 19th centuries and I read that the Brothers Grimm were widely interested in the German literary and linguistic heritage, so they compiled the first German dictionary and collected folklore from villages, including fairy tales. I don’t know how much of the “real German spirit” is in their fairy tales, but apparently many Germans in those years loved it. This is similar to Pushkin and Dahl, who collected Russian fairy tales and compiled a dictionary of the Russian language, respectively.

I don't know how much WWII influenced this stereotype, but I have the impression that German culture has an established stereotype of being dark and gothic outside of Germany or Europe in general. For example, in Japan, most bands with a German aesthetic follow dark fantasy. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/D/3540351329 For example, this is a cult visual kei band that played gothic metal with French and German folk elements

My experience with German literature is limited to the Brothers Grimm and Hoffmann, since for some reason as a child I really loved their collections of fairy tales that I had at home. Considering that my other favorite books were Mark Twain, the myths of Ancient Greece and O Henry, you can imagine what kind of view I have on fairy-tale and children's literature. But returning to the topic, I heard that the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm were one of the main sources of the Germans’ return to their culture.

Are the Germans not so superstitious despite the popularity of romanticism?

I don’t know German literature well enough to judge it deeply, but I have the opinion that the Germans are very fond of the romantic side of fiction. I'm talking about the sentimental and idealistic aspects, not the love relationships. Therefore, German military or fairy-tale prose seems more atmospheric and gloomy for Russian readers.

Are you talking about the Japanese teaching about the spiritual power of words? In Russian culture there is such a thing as the “evil eye,” based on the semi-pagan belief that an unkind glance or random emotional words can change your destiny. Especially in a bad way. Therefore, my gypsy great-grandmother probably had problems with black eyes, since black eyes were considered a sign of those who could jinx others with their gaze.

Russian Wikipedia says that this is the Greek form of the Latin name Germanus, which means "native, close, uterine" and was borrowed through the names of Byzantine statesmen. This is different from the Russian term "немцы" because it came from the Russian "немой" (mute) and figuratively meant "not speaking Russian." At one time it meant all Western European foreigners, but due to the large number of German specialists, it was retained only by Germans.

Yes, angst. Well, Russian Orthodoxy is as traditionally patriarchal as any other, especially in religious matters. It's still Orthodoxy, lmao. But it also acquired a noticeable religious-existential connotation thanks to the specific development of Russian philosophy in the 18th and 19th centuries. You've probably seen this fragment from Wooddy Allen's film parodying Russian literature:



This is very exaggerated and brought to the point of absurdity, but Allen quite clearly captured how Russian “serious” literature easily turns everyday things into a topic for very complex and philosophical conversations about highly spiritual things. The Russian language even has such a concept as “духовность" (spirituality) which roughly speaking denotes the increased inclination of Russians towards the emotional and philosophical side of religion and things.

This is a common name in Eastern Europe, pronounced German.

Well, in my experience, modern Orthodoxy cares more about agnst and philosophical questions like “what is the meaning of life” and “what is the right morality” than collectivism or individualism.

Not so much the Amish, but people who, to put it mildly, were too much inspired by new religious movements or traditions of Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy, especially Russian, is generally very obsessed with angst and other passion-bearers. For example, there is a person like Herman Sterlingov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Sterligov , who was a businessman in the 90s, but now popularizes a “return to roots” and the idealization of ultra-conservative peasant life. And the Russian government, as a right-wing regime, is trying to respect this, although to a certain level, because historically in Russia the authorities did not like those who behaved too freely.

By the way, you mentioned the Amish. I have heard that this tradition is largely inspired by German Protestants.

das einzige minus was die seite hatte war, dass man echt keine listen hatte von anime oder so was man gewatched hatte. daher nope gab keine listen. aber die community war sau geil. da hatte ich auch wenn man es zählt meine erste online relationship. also ja ich kann gefühle durch schreiben bekommen. ^^ auf tumblr hab ich damals immer meine gifs benutzt um irgendwelche (meinst meine männlichen liebings charas) charaktere als profil abzubilden. das allte youtube layout hatte noch was. man konnte freunde machen, gab immer igendwelche randoms die nach sub4sub gefragt hatten und man konnte echt schöne rp schreiben.

ich denke wir alle mögen es irgendwo gesehen zu werden und aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen. ich mag es halt wenn ich mich wohl fühle bei jemanden der so close ist wie ein freund oder freundin plus halt mehr. so das ich halt weis er oder sie gehört mir. am besten natürlich ganz ohne sex. in der vergangenheit bin ich auf sex eingegangen, aber eigentlich ekel ich mich sogar davor und empfinde es als sache für die leute dumm genug sind dummes zu tun. wenn dating app versuche ich es auf einer asexuellen seite. sollte ich mich jedoch in jemand "niormal" sexuellen verlieben bin ich vielleicht wie gesagt für den kompromiss bereit so lange es bei selten sex bleibt. ich weiss auch wie sich ein orgasmus anfühlt. aber in meinen augen hat es keinen wert, mein ekel ist größer.

ja danke. ich hoffe das ich mich bei meinem nächsten arbeitgeber wohler fühle und das die bezahling ok ist. ich bin echt genügsam und verlange nicht viel. ich will mich einfach nur wohl fühlen und das hatte ich in lerzter zeit bei meinem letzten arbeitgeber nicht. deshalb sorry nochmal für das erdrückende depressive womit ich dich letztens erschlagen hab.

GV echt nur wenn ich von herzen richtig verliebt bin, sonst hat GV für mich 0 wert und ist für mich einfach nur etwas zum ablehnen.

sorry für dein ausgebrannt sein. fühl dich umarmt. erzähl nur so viel wie du willst. ich mach dir da keinen druck oder so. ^^

schwer zu erklären warum unruhe bei mir mit innnerem stress verbunden ist, aber seit der psychose 2022 ist das halt so. es ist einfach kein schönes gefühl wenn es auf kommt

I’m not entirely sure if I understood you correctly, but in the past there were cases when very religious people voluntarily lived as hermits somewhere in the forest or on the outskirts. One religious cult even built an entire independent village.

glaub mir das sind schöne online erinnerungen. außerdem konnte man die profil seite sehr individuell gestalten bei anispace. dein profil konnte aussehen wie ein tumblr block oder wie das alte youtube bevor google es gekauft hatte. es gab da viele kreative köpfe die einem geholfen haben mit codes und designs. auch wenn online freundschaften vergänglich sind, finde ich es nur schade wenn es endet, denn während all der zeit wo es läuft ist doch alles gut. nur hab ich mich leider dran gewöhnt online eher los zu lassen, da wie gesagt leute online einfach manchmal verschwinden ohne ein wort (so wie ich zuvor um ein beispiel zu nennen. es kann viele gründe geben warum man online sein vernachlässigt).

awwww.... das finde ich irgendwie süß auch wenn ich das komplette gegenteil zu dir bin was schwärmerei betrifft. ich muss halt den oder die andere besser kennen lernen und verliebe mich dann eher in die ganzen fascetten. von dating apps bin ich ehrlich gesagt nicht so überzeugt. die meisten nutzen das für quickies. zu mindestens die männer du würdest ja eh eher nach einer frau suchen, aber da kannst du mir glauben musst du hervor stechen, denn frauen werden von vielen typen angeschrieben (hab ich ja selber gemerkt). empfehlen würde ich es daher echt nicht.

nein glaub mir tut mir leid wenn ich dich mit meiner arbeitslosigkeit überwältigt hab, ich wollte es einfach nur mit meiner laune in dem moment raus lassen. ich hoffe nur das ich irgenwann mal einen job finde, wo ich bleibe und mich wohl dühle, aber sonst geht es mir derzeit gut. ich hab halt gelernt nicht alles in mich rein zu fressen, dass hat lange gedauert da ich laaaaange so ein eigenbrödler war. fühl mich zwar ein bisschen wie ein loser dadurch, aber das ist nix gravierendes. der nächste job kommt bestimmt. ^^

außerdem gibt es für mich kein weniger wichtiges problem. wenn jemanden etwas bedrückt ist es ein enst zu nehmendes problem und da sollte man für das anliegen da sein.

da hast du vollkommen recht. wenn kein interesse da ist, ist es nicht da. auch wenn ich asexuell bin und keine interesse an gv hab, hätte ich schon gerne irgendwen an meiner seite irgenwann.

psychisch war mein leben lange eine achterbahn. vielleicht erzähl ich dir das ein andern mal wenn es dir besser geht und du dich dafür interesierst.

ich mag unruhe nicht, das ist bei mir oft irgendwie mit innerem stress verbunden.

Of course, I oppose radicalism in any form. Especially when people try to turn left vs right issues into black and white “truth vs lies”, where truth is measured by which side you are on.

This is reminiscent of the so-called “cult of witnesses of the USSR” in Russia, who believe that the USSR dissolved illegally and therefore the laws of modern post-Soviet countries are illegal and their laws do not apply. Therefore, according to their logic, you should not pay loans and pay taxes, for example.
What I mean is that people don't necessarily believe in the old forms of Germany, but use it as a symbol against the current authorities. For example, during perestroika, many idealized Tsarist Russia because it was a symbol of opposition to Soviet power. There was even a semi-serious joke that these people saw Tsarist Russia as cadets dancing with ladies on the boulevards and “crunching French rolls.”

In Russia, it is considered very vulgar and problematic to constantly emphasize that something is Russian, so a new word was invented, “российский”, which is usually also translated as Russian, but means all the inhabitants of Russia or the culture of all nations of Russia. Because in the Russian language, ethnicity is more important than nationality, and if you call a Tatar a русский instead of a россиянин , it will sound strange. In general, most people will understand what you mean, but overuse of the word Russian can be perceived as nationalistic views.
