Why isn't the German New Wave more popular with non-Germans?

I like some of Michael Rother's solo stuff. I don't know if that counts.

You rarely come across non-germans talking about post-war german art in general. Krautrock was just the exception to the rule.
That being said, 80s Klaus Dinger was rad. That Neu! 86 album, as well as Neondian are well worth checking out. Nena too, underrated band beyond that one hit.
