Slime, a German punk rock band founded in Hamburg in 1979, became a defining band in the 1980s German punk scene, and is the most widely recognized example of the musical style Deutschpunk. Although initially playing in the straightforward style of late 70's British punk, Slime developed their own unique style of punk rock, which has been seminal for Deutschpunk. Slime's songs involve complex song structures with layered, sophisticated lyrics, that often include an element of story-telling. The main themes in Slime's music are political resistance to racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and fascism. Their political activism on these topics has strongly influenced the German punk movement in general. The band describes their music as protest songs. In the 1980s they were associated with the anti-nuclear and squatting movements. Their anti-police songs continue to be anthems of leftist political movements, and have translated into slogans that are widely used, for example, in graffiti and stickering campaigns.
