- Hey All! My first time listening to Rammstein since hearing Du Hast when it was released! Very impressed with the messaging in this song, and this was also heavier than I was expecting.

They are simply living legends 🔥🤟 Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷
Till’s lyrics always have multiple interpretations, and the video adds to the message as well. Like the “Schwartze Mann” being German for the bogeyman, but it does have a literal translation of the “black man”, and the refugees surrounded by barbed wire suggest that fear mongering of the wave of non-white refugees from the Middle East and Africa a few years ago in Europe is one of the themes they had in mind when they were writing the lyrics.
My son is a big fan of Rammstein. Not totally up my alley either, but I do like some of their work, and this video was pretty cool.
They put so many details in their videos, it's sometimes crazy.
Their new song Zeit, did made me shed a tear and that's a first (for Rammstein).
In my country, the Bogeyman, in folclor is also the black man/the red man but parents use to scare kids with the gipsy that's gonna take you away... 😕
So yeah, after Amerika, check Zeit.
So now you know you have to go back and watch all Rammnstein videos
Yes, it's definitly about race (too). "Wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann" means "Who is afraid of the boogeyman". But word by word it means "Who is afraid of the black man".
So the are playing with this double meaning in german.
A great video with a strong message.
The dance of the cheerleaders reminds of the Haka dance of the Maori in New Zealand. It is used to scare and intimidate the enemies.
The candy the band eats are Dickmanns. In Germany it had an insulting name for black people.
PS: I'd love to see you react to the song/video Amerika.
PSS: After that, you should react to Rammstein's visual masterpiece Deutschland.
"Dickmanns" hört sich im englischen auch nicht besser an :D
The candy is foamy sugar on a small waffle with chocolate topping. This was called "Negerkuss" (Negros kiss) or Mohrenkopf (moor) - now it is "Schokokuss or Schaumkuss". Dickmann is just a brand.
I liked the reaction, and now you have so many videos to choose from. Production quality is always high and each one tells a story! Enjoy :-)
Interestingly they were called that in other countries too.
Just for some context*
From all the reaction videos I've seen of this piece of art, only now I see someone in the comments finally make mention and reference of the Haka dance, a practice originated in New Zealand by indigenous of Polynesian ancestry (the Maori people), done in this case by the cheerleaders...That is the reason why they are depicted so adust, emotionless in their faces and, hence so intimidating, as intimidation per se is the purpose of this dance...Also, on the same length wave through the intimidating dance Maori style, that very first double stroke on that drum, usually followed by a clap (in unison from a big crowd) and a furious HOO yell, also resembles the sounds made through that intimidating Maori ritual, currently used widely in big sports arenas by fans that in recent years have adopted it as a chant to cheer their teams (most commonly in international soccer, which was very much popularized originally by New Zealand fans)
I do not see quite yet though the exact significance of it in the context of this video, connected to the message intended through the rest of the imagery...Any suggestions?
@@fonsecorona The video is about creating fear in the population. Using the Haka dance here symbolically actually fits very well with this. The cheerleaders are clearly working for the crazy guy at the lectern, whose inflammatory speeches reach the people via the media.
PS: It's also pretty remarkable that cheerleaders are doing the Haka dance here. This twists the very purpose of their task, which is to provide joy. The good, so to speak, is turned into evil.
ZEIT and DEUTSCHLAND are absolut Masterpieces too
and Giftig :)
I vote for Zeit
They are on my bucket list to see live. If you haven’t heard sone please react to that one.

A must see!.. Their live shows are a work of art... Out of this world, i must say..
best reaction so far, seems very honest and without exaggerated acting. even your comments relate to the content and images. Good job! More from You about our favorite metal band!
Nice reaction. Regarding your question about the meaning of the cheerleaders. Just think about the purpose of what they are doing. They are cheerleading. In this case the scaremonger and the actions such as buying Blicks and weapons of scared people. Imo, the banger song generally is about the fears that have been fueled. The name is program. Be it through parents or the media of any kind. The fantastic video portrays the average person (or, to put it bluntly, the square). Clean on the outside, with the typical 9-5 job, sitting in the nicely manicured garden at the weekend, barbecuing and gossiping about the news. But behind the facade it looks very different. (The chosen colors of the video should not be ignored: black/white/red). Our fueled fears lead us to wall ourselves in and to meet each other with suspicion, even to the point of taking up arms. Be it with words or actual weapons. The last scene with them eating chocolate kisses is a piquant, provocative detail. It's clear to us Germans what the boys are alluding to. Until a few years back this candy was named "moor head" or " Negro kisses". Some people got really upset about the name change.
And Rammstein wouldn't be Rammstein, if they didn't also show their stance on european migration policy. Fortress Europe. The style of the video also reminds me of George Orwell in 1984. And the movie "12 monkeys". It's also nice that they chose the (older?) well-known game "Who's Afraid of the Black Man" as an allegory. It's a game we played as kids. It goes back to mideveal times where the plague was called "black death" Just great. I can't wait to hear the song live in concert. I get goosebumps when I think about it when everyone joins in the "Haka".
With love from Germany 🤘 😎
die cheerleader erinnern mich arg an republikanische Teilnemer an Trump Wahlkampfveranstaltungen
@@arnodobler1096 ja. gab ja genügend Hetzer in den letzen Jahren.
Denke allerdings, daß es die Cheerleader eher als Sinnbild genommen wurden, für die Leute, die diese Agitatoren, bei Allem, was sie tun oder sagen, bejubeln.
@@arnodobler1096 Parteienunabhängig. Die Demokraten sind da ja keinen Deut besser. Oder religiöse Fanatiker (egal welche Religion). Es gibt immer Hype-Männer und Hype -Frauen.
So goooood reaction ... We are hanging on this cables (ropes) like puppets ...
Turn on CC and get the English subtitles
If you like deep videos and sings with deep message check out their official video to Deutschland it’s a masterpiece of art, music and cinematography.
Just a heads up, german is a highly highly contextual language.
This means that "black man" and "the black man" mean different things depending on context.
One describing a person of African decent and the other a person that is unknown/in the shadows or simply the boogyman.
I definitely appreciate RAMMSTEIN. GREAT 👍🏽 CHOICE on this one ☝🏽. If you have the opportunity watch their “ZEIT” (TIME) MV. I believe personally that RAMMSTEIN allows individuals to view and interpret on their own…because as individuals we can be biased. I also believe this is WHY they don’t put any CC on their MV’s. When you view all the comments…I am AMAZED that each person insists that it means this or that so adamantly. GO WITH YOUR OWN.
Hi Stephanie, thanks for your comment and for dropping in! I agree with your opinion on finding meaning on their music. Also, I have filmed a reaction for Zeit :)
Some of the lyrics point out, we have fear because our father said so. We are taught fear of others from our parents.
The video. They start out happy and with their neighborhood friends. They're having barbecues and talking with their neighbors. Then the insane person is brought in by the cheerleaders, and hooked up to the wires. The wires connect to their computers, and they're getting brainwashed fear by the insane person wheeled in. The cheerleaders then show up next, selling "security." If you notice, they're building their walls, but also looking at what their neighbors are doing too. They're trying to race and finish the wall ahead of their neighbor. They point the cameras at their neighbor. Next, the cheerleaders bring in more "security" to sell, in the form of guns. The end, is how all of them attacking, destroys everything. Their "security" caused all of their lives to be destroyed. Then the ending, showing them destroying the TV, breaks the mold and brings color into their world. I saw one person also point out that the black refugees are still behind the barb wire, they never did anything, and everyone sees and knows what is happening to the refugees, but no one does anything to help them. Instead, fear sells, and in the end, the person who is insane that led it, is still going and at the end, free of their straight jacket restraints, showing they got stronger from selling fear.
If I wouldn't already love the music and the videos, I would love them for how they make people think. And you nailed that part. This is what reaction videos should be like; sharing your thoughts and interpretation about it. From a European perspective, it is pretty obvious the video shows America. For one, we don't have cheerleaders and it's something we strongly associate with America. We also don't have an armed population. On the other hand, "the black man" as boogeyman is a concept pretty well known in Europe. In German even in the literal words, but in other places as an imagery this has roots in all sorts of folklore. The mother and daughter surrounded by the barbwire strongly hints at the refugee crisis in Europe as well. This confused me, but now I'm thinking this is on purpose because the issue they're addressing is the same in both places. It's about xenophobia, and how politicians and the media instill that into people.
What they are eating in the end clip is a popular sweet in Germany, that was formerly called "Mohrenkopf" wich could be translated to "negro head" (It is not called that anymore) It is a very fluffy sugar foam like a mix between marshmellow and whipped cream in consistency with chocolate glaze and a waffle bottom.
I personally think this implies some racial aspect to the meaning of the video, that is otherwise more clearly pointed towards politics and the media. I think that because usually everything you see in a Rammstein video has some kind of meaning and the "Mohrenköpfe" are a sweet with controversy around it because of the name and racial implications ot that name.
Funny enough they are called "Dickmanns" today wich translates to "Fat men", also a controversial name in this day and age.
Why not watch these with the English subtitles on? Then you don't have to guess about the lyrics. Right off, Angst is German for fear, not our angst.
They eat ..foam kisses... like cream/marshmello stuff in choco on a waffle.
The correct name, currently defamed is "Negro Kisses".
There's even more symbolism than one can see upon first watch.. And some of it only Germans or people who lived in Germany especially before 2000 can get.
One example:
The candies they are eating in the outro are called Schokoküsse (translates into something like "chocolate kisses"). But in former times they were called 'Mohrenköpfe' ("Moor heads") or 'Negerküsse' ("negro kisses"), which they aren't allowed to be called anymore. Still they are a good example of 'everyday racism' rooted in language and culture.
Edit: just saw they were equally named in Dutch, too.

Chearleaders are more use and Born in the USA, just to Know Who referendum Too!
If you just look at where the Wires of the screens go the meaning of the song is pretty much explained
the black man is very orange 🤔😂
Even if Trump is not in charge for years now he still pops up in your mind. Could it be that it is the other way round? That Trump bashing is one of those media things that are hammered in your head? Bogey Man. I agree that trump generated fear of immigrants, but i can think of a lot of other things regarding FEAR that was put on us in the last 2 years.
great reaction - just check out Amerika...
They are eating a German-Danish candy called "Negerboller" (literally N-word Buns) back in the day. They are delicious and now called "Flødboller" (whipped cream buns). Old people will still use the racist name.
There is so much in this video man. I use it teaching my socilogy classes.
They're eating a candy made out of a thin waffer with a white, sugary foam coated with a layer of chocolate. They used to be called "N (word)-kisses", which is not allowed anymore, now they're "Schoko-Küsse".
Hi, great reaction to such an awesome song!
To answer your question at the end, I think they're eating chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, which used to have racist names in Germany and in France, and which is quite on point with this video.
I'll link you to the corresponding wikipedia article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated_marshmallow_treats#1920,_Germany,_Schokokuss_/_Negerkuss_/_Mohrenkopf
Why would you hate something you are not afraid of?
Like a tree. Next to your house. Thats a good thing, right?
But what when you are afraid the tree might fall down on your house, causing damage and injury? Causing fear, ANGST. And if you cant do anything about it, have to live with the fear day in day out, you start hating this tree.
Its the same when living with an idea in mind, that some things in the world arent going as they are supposed to. Watching news, specifically such that cant be called neutral, funnel this idea into a mind that there is something NOT RIGHT out there, something that causes harm to all of us. And it keeps going, not explaining, just telling you it is wrong and it has to begone. But some things in our world just are, they cant be wished away, so it becomes a lingering fear in a mind that slowly turns into hate.
Hateful people are always scared people. They become agressive because they are defending against what they fear. And often we fear most what we dont understand.
I am not saying that the agressive defense is just, nor do i say it in defense of hate. I say it to understand, so i dont have to fear it, and become hateful myself.
I don't think this song is about race, it's more about fear for everything and everyone.
No this professor is wrong. It's really the "black man" or precise the Black Warriror of the Hottentotten tribe in Namibia. It's not the Boogey Man which also exist in German
I'm sorry but that is nonsense. The core of it is hundreds of years old and used for classic fear based upbringing. It's a mixture of the christian devil, pagan bogeyman, johnny foreigner, the black death or plague etc. During the 15th or 16th century most people had no idea of black people in Afrika and definitely had no clue of Namibia being one of the few German colonies where the atrocities happened towards the mid to late 19th century.
@@sindbad8411 So lets tell me when the term "Black Man" entered our vocabulary. Boogey Man as the Butzemann even if it is as old as Ruebezahl and from the same root of slavic german (Schlesien) mythologie. The americans did not invent Boogeyman.
Ich denke diese Kommentar Sektion sollte von den Deutschen umgehend übernommen werden!
Warum?
I know this is a little bit late, but i highly disagree about this being primarily about race, it is implied and a thing, yes, but the boogie man (Schwarze Mann) is whatever the media (television and computers etc), society (the black man children game/threat by dads to behave refenced over the duration of the song) and politicians (dude on the mic with the red information going to the people) are telling you to be fearful off at whatever point in time. The people eating the red stuff are just society eating up the information theyre being fed. The cheerleaders are an americanized symbolisation of celebrities cheering on and marketing these politians and ideas through media and their influential power over the masses. This video is very clearly telling people to live in the real world and not in the black and white one thats shown to you by media. They come back to reality at the Ende after breaking the TV. And the poor people inside of the barbed wire/in war? watch the rich western people with similar prejudices as they do them. They view caricatures of each other. Meanwhile the americans arm themselfes to the teeth and build walls with cameras and barbed wire fences around them to be safe while having a persecution complex and think that foreigners are coming for their wealth or trying to oppress them.
The sweets theyre eating are something with a very racially fucked up name Ne----gerküsse or Mohrenköpfe which translates to Nword-kisses or Mohren-Heads. Mohren are People from Kush which are black. These names have been abandoned by germany in the last few decade though.
Theres more going on in the video but you understood most of it.
Also Rammstein is shitting on America big time once again which makes me happy
Everything you say is correct. However, nobody leaves his white circle. It will only get more colourful, but nothing will change. Moreover, "schwarzer Mann" has a triple meaning here. seeing a colored one for the first time was exciting and terrifying (1800+), then it became child's play and today it's racism...... And, we in Europe don't have cheerleaders and we don't have free access to guns. You can probably guess which country is really meant
Bogeyman Corona
Hardly likely since Till Lindemann, the singer.
Was hospitalized for corona himself.
That kind of desinformation is also one of the things this video is criticizing.
Bogeyman Trump with hate speech and disinformations fake news ............
@@tjalvehund82You know that is crazy.. I looked up if Lindemann was hospitalized and in the magazine 'Gala' he himself says that it was a pneumonia and not Corona, negative test. In the 'Rolling Stone' he says that one should not run from Corona, wearing comicly thin masks with 'Fuck Corona' written on.. Maybe it is you that fetched some "kind of desinformation ..this video is criticizing" here. How ironic.
@@arnodobler1096 Trump is not in charge, do you really think this Rammstein song is about a time 3 years ago? I do not think that these lawn mowing citizens represent the typical trump voter.
