Germs HATE Tokio Hotel

Its true!
There's this German exchange student in my history class but he's leaving on Sunday so I decided to ask him a question that had been bugging me today (well I guess it was yesterday seeing as it is saturday as of a half hour ago
But anyway here's how it went:

Me: So, like, um, what music do you listen to in Germany?
Nicco: Pretty much the same as here
Me: But do you, like, listen to Tokio hotel ex-
Nicco: NO.
Me: Yeah, but do people over there listen to Tokio Hotel except, like, in German.
Nicco: no. NO ONE listens to Tokio Hotel
Me: Like absolutely no one?!?
Nicco: NO ONE.
then he had to leave cause he had been called down to the guidance office

Later I talked to a girl from the family he had been staying with because she volunteered at the library ghost tours with me and she said that she had asked him about that a while ago and told her not to talk about them, apparently they think of Tokio Hotel as traitors over there or something.
