Although German rock music (Deutschrock) didn't come into its own until the late 1960s, it spawned many bands spanning genres such as krautrock, new wave, heavy metal, punk, and industrial.Rock and roll itself arose in the United States in the 1940s, and spread across the world beginning in about 1956. There were few German performers at that time, even though American rock was popular in (West) Germany. Rockabilly stars like Bill Haley & His Comets were of particular popularity.
