Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Die Ärzte's song Dauerwelle vs. Minipli seem nonsensical at first glance, as they simply repeat the words "Dauerwelle" (permanent wave) and "Minipli" (pixie cut) multiple times with a random "wuff" thrown in. However, upon closer examination, the song can be seen as a commentary on societal beauty standards and the pressure to conform to them.


The two hairstyles mentioned, Dauerwelle and Minipli, were popular hairstyles in the 80s and were often seen as symbols of femininity and sex appeal. The repetition of the words reflects the constant pressure women face to conform to these standards of beauty, often requiring them to undergo time-consuming and expensive treatments like perms and frequent haircuts.


The addition of the "wuff" sounds almost like a dog's bark, emphasizing the animalistic nature of these beauty standards and how they reduce women to mere objects to be groomed and judged.


Overall, the song can be seen as a satirical critique of societal beauty standards and the pressure they place on women, encouraging them to conform even at the expense of their time, money, and individuality.
