thread_title:  Einstürzende Neubauten 

message: I think it's wrong to put Grauzone in the mainstream section. Their "Eisbär" was a major hit, yes, (like Fehlfarben's "Ein Jahr (es geht voran)" also was), but the song itself hasn't  any mainstream attitude at all, it's sound is dark and cold, the lyrics are pessimistic. Furthermore the original version of their only real Album didn't even include their only hit. Their song "Film 2" is a noisy instrumental (with some vocal percussion), "Schlachtet!" ("slaugter!") an "Wütendes Glas" ("angry glass") are aggessive and critical songs, "Kälte Kriecht" ("cold is crawling") has experimental echo effects over wispering vocals and so on. The whole album is quite dark and experimental, much more like Joy Division than like Nena. Just give it a listen:  Greetings --StefanWesthoff (talk) 14:44, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grauzone 

message: While the phase of commercial NDW music was short indeed, the repertoire developed during this time remained a backbone, if not *the* backbone, of partying and having fun well into the late 1990s in Germany. During my university years 1994 to 1998, as soon as people were a bit drunk at some party, half the music played for the rest of the night would be that early-1980s NDW stuff, usually always the same 15 to 20 or so songs. If you can confirm my experience and if you have some better (not so anecdotal) evidence of what I'm describing, please feel free to add it. -- 77.189.121.90 (talk) 01:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lasting legacy 

message: There are quite a few bands listed that I would not account for NDW, mainly because they either do not fit in musically, or because they have been rock bands before and haven't socialized with the NDW scene at all and clearly belong to other genres. Those bands - I would not file under NDW - are: Falco, Klaus Nomi, Nina Hagen and Sandra. While Nina Hagen may account as an influence for NDW, the others clearly aren't NDW at all. C'mon... Sandra! She may be Germany's greatest disco queen of all times, but she ain't NDW!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.186.146.159 (talk) 16:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not NDW 

message: "influenced in no small part by the different sound and rhythm of the German language which many of the bands had adapted from early on". --Is adopted meant?  Perhaps used is the best word? Kdammers (talk) 13:39, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adapted? 

message: I'm thinking that someone should rename this. If "Neue Deutsche Welle" means "New German Wave", then someone could just rename it to "New German Wave". If anyone thinks this is a good idea, then please respond. Dude00007, Ph. D., Sc. D. (talk) 15:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm? "Neue Deutsche Welle" is the name of that music style. Names are not being translated. The Margarita drink has a Spanish name, meaning "daisy". The WP article is not called "daisy". Cheers, Grueslayer  Let's talk. 20:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible rename? 

message: The article doesn't mention that NDW was copied by some bands in the GDR. Idk which bands they were. I think they formed when the "wave" was almost over in the west. Just a hint. I saw sth about it on German TV.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jezabeliberté (talk • contribs) 02:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

message: If you look at the German version of this page, there is no long list of bands - of which many don't have their own wiki page.
I think the subject matter is important, but just find it ironic that the German page does not list these bands :) But perhaps that's a problem for the German page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by B0p.b0p.us (talk • contribs) 00:18, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Details? 

message: It says in the article: "Around 1983/1984, the era of the Neue Deutsche Welle came to an early end, following the oversaturation of the market with what was perceived as stereotypical, manufactured hits."
The only problem with this is that the most famous song of this genre in the UK and other countries was Rock Me Amadaeus by Falco which was a hit in 1986. So to say the genre had come to an end in 1983/84 seems a bit early. Ajs41 (talk) 04:34, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
