Ostrock refers to rock music produced in East Germany (GDR) during the Cold War era, blending Western rock influences with German lyrics and socialist cultural context. The sound ranged from melodic rock and pop-rock to blues-influenced styles, often featuring poetic lyrics that navigated state censorship while resonating with everyday life behind the Iron Curtain. This music became a cultural identifier for East Germans, maintaining relevance today as a nostalgic symbol of GDR identity.
