About this item

“Punks are the old farts of today,” Vomit Visions already noted back in 1980. And doesn’t that essentially say it all about punk – the historicization of the genre, its musical conservatism, and the hype around milestone anniversaries? Does punk still have anything to say to our present? And German-language punk in particular – Deutschpunk, the so-called German special path? However one may answer these questions personally, punk in Germany has simply kept going for five decades despite all the “old farts” rhetoric. Even in 2026, punk bands are still being formed in Winnenden, Limburg, and Hoyerswerda – just as they were in 1978, 1983, and 2013. And like this musical journey through time, they care little about neat definitions of Deutschpunk. Instead, this compilation opens itself up to different styles and voices of punk with German lyrics. What unites the songs is that, on the one hand, they are rooted in punk, and on the other, in the German language – yet they create something of their own. In their most compelling moments, they struggle as much with the German language as they do with punk itself.

Like any good mixtape, this compilation is based purely on musical aspects and pays no attention to release years
