White Boy Summer 2024 ! Ep. 255
Remember when we first told you about noticewave on episode 250. Well, noticewave blew up in 2024 with one song in particular being the most remixed and played underground song throughout Europe and the US. The "L'Amour Toujours" German Far-Right Controversy, also known as Ausländer Raus, refers to the ongoing use of the Italian dance song "L'Amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino by Germans on the political right who replaced the song's lyrics with "Ausländer raus," meaning "Foreigners out." The song's usage by right-wing groups in Germany started in late 2023 when a video surfaced of men singing "Ausländer raus" in a discotek in Dortmund. In May 2024, a viral video of men and women singing "Ausländer raus" at an outdoor bar in Sylt sparked discourse and backlash. The video included people seemingly emulating Adolf Hitler by putting two fingers on their upper lip (to resemble Hitler's mustache) and Nazi saluting with their right hands. Background On November 5th, 2023, Twitter / X[1] user @ZeronnyLS posted a video, allegedly taken at a discotek in Dortmund, showing club-goers singing, "Ausländer raus," over "L'Amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino. The video received roughly 1.8 million views and 3,500 likes in seven months (shown below).
