"das sequenzer" ... shouldn't it be "der"?
- anamexis 2y agoI think they took some liberties to make it seem "more German". See also the umlaut in "liebe aüf den ersten blick".

- pizzalife 2y agoThis is clearly inspired by the german band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and the electronic body music genre in general, which are widely known in Sweden. Has nothing to do with Trump.

- pizzalife 2y agoWhat are you talking about? There is a whole music scene in Sweden that uses german loan words and often purposefully incorrect german in their music, to make it sound better for the Swedish audience. See Sturm Café, Kommando XY, Tyskarna från Lund (literally The Germans from Lund) etc. While they evoke the leather uniform Deutsche aesthetic, they are all anti-fascist btw. Kommando XY has a song called "Skinheads fuck off".

- dist-epoch 2y agodas is what non-german people think it's what should be, and that makes it the correct one. simulacrum/simulacra, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, etc
- ziofill 2y agoI remember attending a German language course in Berlin (25 years ago) with some other international students and this american kid who was railing against using die and der for objects that clearly had no gender: "what do you say?? die snowboard? der snowboard???" (it's das XD)
