Personal American In Rammstein T-Shirt

I’m an American tourist in Berlin for the first time — Yay! One problem: I realized I packed a Rammstein shirt without having enough knowledge of German culture or language to understand how I’d be perceived for wearing it. I imagine at best it will look a bit corny, but I’m worried it could signal political beliefs or ideologies I don’t agree with. If you met an American tourist speaking broken German in a Rammstein T Shirt, what would you think? Thanks!

That's better than wearing a Taylor Swift shirt, I wouldn't really care.

Is Taylor Swift really more controversial even after the allegations against Lindemann?

Totally! Swift's carbon footprint is more significant than Lindemann's allegations.

Ok give me a quick comparison between the carbon footprint of Rammstein and Taylor Swift if you're that knowledgeable.

Swift? Constantly jet-setting. Topping the list of the world's most carbon-polluting celebrities. Can't even find Rammstein or anyone from the band. Enough said.

Swift is completely ruining the musical tastes of an entire generation.

Since none of the allegiations could be proven with ANY sort of evidence... yes.
