You see, a few days ago I was watching the long video for Kraftwerk's Autobahn, and there was this comment: "yech...what the hell is this music?!"
And I left a comment saying that it was Krautrock, which is what that genre of music is called.
Unfortunately, I think some people took my use of the term "Kraut" in that term as an insult to Germans, because my comment received some thumbs down, but I didn't invent the term, and in any other context, I don't refer to Germans by that term. It is just that terms is the most accurate and inclusive one for a certain kind of music from a certain time period.
Put it this way, if the music of the British Invasion had been called Limeyrock, I wouldn't get offended by that, and I think it was strange that it happened to me. It also makes me wonder
