Ostrock is a genre of rock music that originated in East Germany during the 1960s and 1970s. It is characterized by its use of traditional German folk music elements, such as polka and waltz, combined with rock music. Ostrock is often seen as a form of protest music, as it was used to express the frustrations of East German citizens during the Cold War. It is also known for its use of synthesizers and electronic instruments, as well as its incorporation of jazz and classical music elements.
