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.

What are you talking about, we even won it once not too long ago (with a pretty respectable act even). You live in Austria right?! The ones with bearded women performing at the ESC. rofl

That said I actually love some of Austria's pop culture though, they have some great, Falco revival bands these days.
