The Screenshots are a German indie rock band known for their sharp lyrics and social commentary. Originating from the fringes of internet culture, members Dax Werner, Susi Bumms, and Kurt Prödel formed the band somewhat serendipitously in 2018. Quickly gaining traction in the German-speaking world, their music is characterized by its clever wordplay and often satirical examination of contemporary society, politics, and personal relationships.

After their initial self-titled album, The Screenshots continued to rise in popularity within the German music scene. Their latest releases have solidified their presence and showcased their evolving sound. "Wunderwerk Mensch" and "2 Millionen Umsatz mit einer einfachen Idee" continue to exhibit their signature ironic and critical approach to modern life and the digital age. "Wir lieben uns und bauen uns ein Haus" represents their satire on idealized domestic bliss and societal expectations, while their "Europa LP" further cements their socio-political commentary, especially concerning the complexities of European identity and community in the changing socio-political landscape. The Screenshots' clever arrangements and poignant lyrics make them a unique voice in contemporary music, resonating with listeners who appreciate a reflective yet irreverent take on the absurdities of daily life.
