Krautroach

A derogatory term to describe the German Cockroach, the most tenacious of any Cockroach breed in existence. Capable of hiding in any corner and fast-breeding, these motherfuckers will make hell out of your life if you live in an apartment. The only effective way to kill them is with roach traps, and they must be used constantly so that they do not learn to avoid these traps. They are a scourge that must be annihilated with extreme prejudice lest they infest and infect your food supply.

Derived from the derogatory term 'Kraut' used in reference to the Germans in World War I and II.

I hate my apartment. There's too many Krautroaches for me to deal with. FML.

Help me, verminators! I've got a serious infestation of Krautroaches!

krautrock

A style of rock that originated in late 60s - early 70s Germany. Musically it seems to extol the machine (Kraftwerk being a leading example) or more commonly industrial decay (Can, Faust, Neu, Einsterzende Neubauten). Amon Duul II actually employed jackhammers in one stage show, to the horror of the concert hall management. Think of punk crossed (however improbably) with prog rock, sometimes with a funky groove underneath it all. Some people regard more ambient bands like Tangerine Dream and Popul Vuh as being part of Krautrock as well.

"What's that god-awful racket?"
"It's Krautrock, mom!"

krautrock

I'm not sure, really. it involves germans, somehow, and presumably rock. Can is a famous band in this genre.

Can is an archetypal krautrock band
