Scooter: C/D

well fuck, the album is actually pretty good. hate to say it but it's maybe a good thing that Rick quit the group, doing something other than chipmunking old 70's AOR hits and stealing New Wave melodies has actually made them quite interesting again

Having given Scooter the benefit of the doubt after their (at best) ambiguous Lockdown song, it's disappointing that HP Baxxter has just described attempts to make the German language more gender-equitable as a 'Verunglimpfung der Sprache' ('a denigration of the language') and 'Idiotensprache' ('idiot language')

The language debate concerns issues such as the masculine plural noun being used in German for plurals referring to both genders. A call for all Bürger — (male) citizens — to follow coronavirus rules is also meant to apply to Germany’s Bürgerinnen (= female citizens). The best-known solution, the 'Gendersternchen', involves placing an asterisk before the feminine word ending to explicitly include women and non-binary Germans - Bürger*innen.

By sneering at this, Baxxter is aligning himself with some pretty dodgy conservative language groups, and also making people reconsider whether they let him off too lightly on the anti-lockdown song.

And as one commentator put it, every Scooter song denigrates two languages at the same time.

Dude’s near 60, can’t keep up with the kids forever.

it’s no more important to be nice apparently

‘Live can be hard, but Scooter is harder.’

Rave Witches treads the fine line between terrible and magnificent as well as a lot of their old stuff.
