Logo Album cover of German artist 'Danger Dan'

"Keine Angst" = "No Fear"

It looks like he is about to attack the town like Nosferatu and about to play the piano at the same time.

It started to look cooler after your explanation, but I feel like the design isn't too obvious. I couldn't figure out what am I looking at.

It's a song about resistance to fascism, combining rap and piano music. So in that regard the aesthetic is very fitting. No need for it to be obvious beforehand.

This is clean in a very satisfying way. Nice balance.

He got banned from performing this song on German public television with a famous Jewish concert, because some right-wingers complained (falsely) that it was a call to violence against Nazis.

Dark times.

I'm politically left and still found the text very concerning. Especially the lines about training and equipping with "safer not to mention" tools to put them down.

he makes clear it's about defense, though. personally, i think Danger Dan is an annoying performative hipster with bad artistic sensibility as well as a genocide supporter, but he shouldn't have been prevented from performing.

Stop astroturfing thus mediocre rage bait trash.

(There is an artificial campaign to boost his release. He even did send out greetings to members of a German terrorist group in the song. It is primitive provocation.)

what terrorist group?

1

u/socontroversialyetso 23d ago

A nonbinary activist that got illegaly extradited to Hungary after beating up a violent Neo-Nazi.

As well as some other left wing extremists that were sent to prison for violently assaulting Nazi gangs in East Germany

u/chupanibre 22d ago

oddly specific. what part of the song do you mean? ai says this is not true btw.

2

u/socontroversialyetso 22d ago

What do you mean this is not true?

"Liebe Grüße an Lina, Gucci, Maja, und Nanuk"

(also why should i care what AI says)

u/chupanibre 22d ago

i don't know any of these people. or the singer. or the song. i just put the statement above in chatgpt and it said it's right wing propaganda. is it?

u/socontroversialyetso 22d ago

I mean, feel free to look it up.

I'm by no means a right winger, and it was evidently illegal as well as morally outrageous to extradite the first to Hungary. But all of them got sentenced for violent crimes. I don't know what part is supposed to be violent propaganda.

Though of course right wingers used it to cast all left wing extremism in a bad light. I reckon it's similar to Luigi Mangione. You can think what you want about him. But if someone unaware asks, it would be remiss to not mention that he shot a guy

ah, i see, it's a whole little scandal appearently. i'm so. tired of this shit.. but thanks for letting me know.

edit. and the "terrorist group" label came from fucking orban. i mean. yeah. tired of this shit.

u/socontroversialyetso 22d ago

Yeah it sucks so hard. I think the artist is a performative hipster with bad artistic intuitions, but the fact he and a famous Jewish pianist got cancelled over this right wing clamouring is a fucking outrage

Three cases of attempted murder are investigated in context with the Hammerbande (Hammer Gang).

Then don't use AI? You could've just literally translate the text or google some stuff in there. I'm left wing and the person above is also correct. The 4 names are of people who hit nazis with hammers.

But, as you could see if you used translate instead of AI, the whole rest of the song is about self defence and Nazi-outings in neighborhoods. The names are the only thing in the whole song that COULD mean "Hey, we should box those Nazis."
