"There it was, German Pop - in the Rhineland, with Düsseldorf as its center, but also somewhat later in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich. And each center 'spoke' it with its own dialect. The Pop generation aimed directly at the sensitivities of the consumer society that was taking shape in a massive way in what was then still a young Federal Republic of Germany. If you will, Pop in Germany was a kind of rebellion in that context, a youth movement. It toppled the old values and struggled with the new ones", says Martina Weinhart, the curator of the exhibition.
