Why is German pop culture less popular worldwide than American, British and Japanese?

I don't have the answers but I will attempt it.

UK and USA are english and english=pop culture. Japanese are very open to english and they invent new japanese words all the time to match english words called loan words. Japan is also a bigger trading partner than Germany. Japan also dislikes most of their neighbors so they share their culture with english speakers, while Germany has a good relationship with it's european neighbors, so a lot of its pop culture doesn't get to us.

China is number 2 and they probably have less pop culture than Germany.

I can't stop thinking about the Eurovision Song Contest where it's becoming tradition to ask the question if Germany can defend their last place in the results.

Okay, they aren't always in last place, but they give off Cleveland Browns vibes for sure. Every year the German broadcasters get their hopes up only to see them getting crushed with an abysmal result.

And ironically lose to tiny countries like Moldavia, where talent should be surely lacking.
