| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) | comment |
Einstürzende Neubauten (Collapsing New Buildings) is a rather interesting industrial group from Germany. Originally formed in 1980, they were a major influence on the experimental end of the genre, due to their extensive use of various non-musical objects as instruments, often to the exclusion of conventional instruments. While always having a heavy emphasis on percussion and un-tuned sounds, Neubauten's music covers a fairly wide range of textures and styles, ranging from pulverising noise and ambient soundscapes to mechanistic dance tracks and understated ballads, their more recent albums being especially hard to classify.Currently, the group consists of Blixa Bargeld, Alexander Hacke, N.U. Unruh, Jochen Arbeit, and Rudolf Moser. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Alles wieder offen breaks the trend of Lighter and Softer taken by the band for its bleak and somber tone and lyrics, and Lament is also this trope since it was composed for an 100th anniversary World War I memorial in Belgium. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Zeichnungen des Patienten O. T. introduced a wider range of moods, melodies, and sounds than the generally intense abrasiveness of Kollaps, a direction taken further into detail on Halber Mensch, which was succeeded by the dark ambient of Fünf auf der nach oben offenen Richterskala. Haus der Lüge includes elements of electronic and rock music but is less diverse than Tabula Rasa, that in turn is louder and more unconventional than Ende Neu. Silence is Sexy disposes most of the noise aspects found in previous albums in favor of restraint, resulting in softer songs. Perpetuum Mobile continues the relaxed and mature nature of Silence is Sexy while reducing the Sensory Abuse heard in the band's previous works. Alles wieder offen remained smooth despite being a slightly bleaker album. The World War I-centered concept album Lament is based off archived research and accompanied by odd instruments chiefly composed of objects related to the war and a string quartet. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Bargeld has mentioned that many of the group's early lyrics rely heavily upon German language puns and idioms which are functionally untranslatable; conversely, he does the same with the band's few English songs. | |

Minimalistic Cover Art | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_2e22f7d4 | comment |
Minimalistic Cover Art: The front cover of Kollaps consists of only the band's logo and name with a background color being a shade of brown. Many other Einstürzende Neubauten albums like Strategies Against Architecture '80-'83, Fünf auf der nach oben offenen Richterskala and Ende Neu have this as well, the latter using the band's name over a human's eye and skin color. Halber Mensch is almost literally the exact same thing as the cover of Kollaps, just with a different album name and half of their logo scratched out. | |

Genre Roulette | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: Neubauten gradually calmed down from the metallic percussion and noisy intensity of Kollaps in exchange for increasingly quiet conventional styles while maintaining the usage of custom musical instruments built out of found objects. Nonetheless, they still showcase a wide range of textures. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The obscure 1980 album Stahlmuzik featured a traditional drum kit, but its followup Kollaps had none of that. Both releases are known for being more intense and noisier than subsequent efforts. | |

The Smurfette Principle | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: Averted. Neubauten had two female members pre-Kollapsnote Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel, who left to pursue other projects.note Bettina Köster is sometimes cited as a third female Neubauten. While she was close to the band, she was never a formal member. She did collaborate with Blixa on an album called "Einstürzende Neubauten", though. Post-Kollaps, Neubauten have worked with a number of female musicians, including Anita Lane, Diana Orlof, Etsuko Sakamaki-Haas, and Meret Becker. | |

Punny Name | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: A literal translation of the band's name would be "Collapsing New-Buildings." note For non-German tropers — since the pun doesn't carry well to English without an explanation: The name isn't meant to conjure up the image of intentionally destroying newly made buildings, however, but rather that of "new buildings" falling over. A Neubauten specifically refers to one of the cheaply constructed "modern" buildings erected following 1945 in multiple German cities after many of the Altbauten (old buildings) were destroyed during World War II. The Neubauten had a rather unfortunate reputation for being very structurally unsound, which gave the band some unwanted attention within two months of their formation thanks to the roof of Berlin's former city hall (one of the most famous Neubauten) collapsing, which killed one person and injured many others. Think of a hypothetical NYC based band which formed in July 2001 that called themselves "Destroy the WTC," and you'll get a pretty decent idea of what the band had to deal with. Ende Neu ("Ending New") is a pun gathered from the band's name - Einstürzende Neubauten. | |

Indecipherable Lyrics | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_bb225804 | comment |
Indecipherable Lyrics: Intentionally in the song "Was ist, ist." It has decipherable lyrics for the vast majority of the song, however, some parts are scrambled with static. When performed live, the band relies on a choir or their audience to fill those parts of the song with words made up on the spot — or in other words, "canon" lyrics simply don't exist there. The last minute of "3 Thoughts" is virtually incomprehensible, aside from the final linenote "I don't understand why my mother is afraid of me joining a Devil Sect". | |

Everything Is an Instrument | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_e144beb6 | comment |
Everything Is an Instrument: The band is famous for using this trope almost exclusively. Gamelan-like installations, bull whips, and sandals as a percussion section; jet turbines struck like xylophones; amplified springs providing bass guitar sounds. The band also uses traditional instruments in non-standard ways, including playing guitars with violin bows. | |

Scary Musician, Harmless Music | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_fad03174 | comment |
Scary Musician, Harmless Music: Inverted: Even the band's softer output has harsh elements sprinkled in, and their aesthetic in the '80s was outright deathly. However, the members themselves are known to be kind and affable, especially toward fans. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
| Einstürzende Neubauten (Music) / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: "The Willy - Nicky Telegrams" from Lament. The title is silly; the song is a tense dialogue between Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II. Justified in that the correspondences the band uses as the song's lyrics are indeed known as "the Willy–Nicky correspondence". | |
