Neue Deutsche Welle
Teutonic new wave
Neue Deutsche Welle (German for "New German Wave") was a German pop and rock movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by synthesizers, ironic lyrics, and New Wave aesthetics.
The style ranged from punk-influenced underground acts to polished pop hits like Nena's "99 Luftballons." Often abbreviated NDW.
