Alternative rockPopPunk rock

Nena is a Alternative rock and Pop act. Their catalogue also touches Punk rock and Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Kim Wilde, David A. Stewart, Udo Lindenberg, Peter Heppner and Beginner. Those roots explain a lot about how Nena arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Falco, Münchener Freiheit, Juli, Kim Wilde and Belinda Carlisle, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jan Delay, Samy Deluxe, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Goldfinger and Timbiriche, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Nena, reaching back through Kim Wilde and forward to Jan Delay.
