The same holds for Germany. Beside the "no pain no gain" attitude, the pursuit of "perfection" leads to weird outcomes. For example, the music band Kraftwerk dissolved because half of the members wanted to make sounds that looked "perfect" on an oscilloscope and not how good they sounded.


I guess there's a reason why Japan is often called the Germany of Asia.


I think there was another reason for that

Do you have any information about the Kraftwerk claim?

(I'm also a firstborn American German so this is personally culturally interesting)


They played a live show recently here in the US and it was super fun!
