Rammstein was formed in Berlin in 1994. The members are Till Lindmann, Richard Kruspe, Christian Lorenz, Christoph Schneider, Paul Landers, and Oliver Riedel.

Rammstein is considered to be symphonic metal, mixing metal with synthesizer.

The band is politically left-winged, many depictions and issues they sing about showing their disdain for what happened during the Cold War.

Every member of the band is original.

They are pyrotechnically trained, taking their safety into consideration when performing with fire.

Amerika was released in 2004

They were signed to Universal Records at the time of release

The intended audience is for those tired of American politics and pop culture pushed on them.

This song is under the metal genre.

The overall message is that they are making fun of America and the way they have pushed their media onto other places.

The message portrayed in this song is to show how much America has tried to colonize the world. This song sound supportive to America, "America is wonderful", however with context clues you can tell that is not the case. "This is not a love song, I don't speak my mother tongue" is what sticks the most in the song. They are not entertained with what America tries to do with other groups of people. They want to strip them of their culture and force them to be a "Good American".

The song reaches the audience with the music video. You see examples of a family eating large hamburgers with soda, white people dressed as Native Americans, and a Muslim man preparing to pray while taking off Nike shoes. These are things we really would not see in other places if America did not try to place itself in other cultures.

I find the song to be interesting in how it pushes their message. At first it seems like a fun song, with catchy lyrics in a different language. I remember the first time I heard it and how much I loved the way it sounded, it was definitely an earworm for me. I got a bit older and became a bit more aware of the way America tries to influence other areas of the world, growing up with social media we are granted the ability to make friends all over the world. I feel this song reaches people like me who feel more shame in our country than love for our home. Our home is the laughing stock of the world. It interests me seeing how my friends outside of America see us. There is no reason a place that is supposed to value all cultures should force those to be the same. This song is the only way I can share my feelings about the issues with our country today.
